I've said this for a long time. You can take your two highlighters, take a green highlighter and a pink highlighter and everywhere you find in the big book where it mentions anything about helping yourself, highlight it with green. Then take a pink highlighter and go through there and highlight anywhere where it indicates, talks about, or implies helping anyone other than yourself. So far, I have found 153 references up to page 164 about helping others.
