Move Beyond Self-Pity If we indulge in self-pity, we are not likely to stop chemical use. If we have abstained and begin to feel sorry for ourselves, we are likely to relapse. Self-pity is the result of feeling shortchanged. However, no one owes us anything. It is we who are obligated, and we owe the world. Seeking to do God's will is the realization that we are here to do are here to do the bidding of the Higher Power rather than to enjoy ourselves. We are not deprived of anything. This idea helps avoid self-pity. Sobriety requires an attitude that we are to be givers rather than takers.
