Twisted Relations - Egomania

From the Fourth Step in the 12&12 on page 53;
"But it is from our twisted relations with family, friends, and society at large that many of us have suffered the most. We have been especially stupid and stubborn about them. The primary fact that we fail to recognize is our total inability to form a true partnership with another human being. Our egomania digs two disastrous pitfalls. Either we insist upon dominating the people we know, or we depend upon them far too much."
Thank God for an insightful and experienced sponsor! This part of our literature was true of him and he was able to pass this truth along to me with certainty.
