It's been recommended before, but not yet by me.
There's a book by Dr. M. Scott Peck, "The Road Less Travelled", 
that deals with being responsible in one's own life, the pain that
can be involved, and some of the rewards that are possible.

Sometimes, when one is in the first flush of infatuation with a
particular method, one comes off as a True Believer.  That can be
really a drag, because of the self-absorption problem.  One is not
as sensitive to people who haven't experienced the same things
as one might be.  For most folks, I think, this stage ends.
Then one can really begin helping others, on the *others'* own
schedule, instead of one's own.  And that's where growth continues.
