Program Paradoxes
Program Paradoxes: As we think more about ourselves, we think more of ourselves.
The Program involves a lot of introspection. Working the Steps consists of thinking a lot about myself. Moral and personal inventories, Step Five conversations where I talk about myself, review of my defects, making amends for my behaviours, and on and on.
Impression Management
Impression management is a difficult job involving unceasing labour.
