- Believing that addiction to one substance is the only problem
- Believing sobriety will fix everything
- Pursuing recovery with less energy than pursuing addiction
- Being selectively honest
- Feeling special and unique
- Not making amends
- Using the program to try and become perfect
- Confusing self-concern with selfishness
- Playing futile self-improvement games
- Not getting help for relationship troubles
- Believing that life should be easy
- Using the program to handle everything
