Of course a few group members are responsible. Because they understand that responsibility covers all areas of their lives.
But others somehow believe they're responsible simply because they quit using. If they just mind their own business. If they do what they have to do - but no more.
The reality is that responsibility goes beyond just not using. It goes beyond taking care of just me. It goes beyond doing as little as possible - and that's all.
Responsibility means we reach out. We contribute to the larger community. We become contributors. Not takers.
One man thought he was being responsible by seeking a new job. He saw it as a way to better himself. Of taking responsibility.
But in the process he didn't give his boss notice he was taking a day to look for another job. He left him hanging.
Someone explained it would have been responsible to give his boss notice when he wasn't going to show up. After all, the boss gave him a job when he needed work.
Being a member of the human race is about being responsible for our impact on others. Being responsible is doing no harm.
