The introduction to Step 9 needs to start with a story from my life, but it is a story that is hard to talk about, so I’ll spare you the details. A year ago, I was caffeine-addicted, not exercising, and frankly, probably not spending enough time with my kids. Life was a whirlwind. To be…
From the time most of us are very young, we are taught told that we are to be selfless. “Put other people first.” Be polite. Don’t offend. “Don’t be selfish.” Share your toys. Play well with others.
