Daily Reflections

GIVING UP CENTER STAGE, p.202

For without some degree of humility, no alcoholic can stay sober at
all.
.. . Without it, they cannot live to much useful purpose, or, in
adversity, be able to summon the faith that can meet any emergency.
12 & 12, p.70

Why do I balk at the word "humility"? I am not humbling myself
toward other people, but toward God (HP), as I understand Him.
Humbly means "to show submissive," and by being humble I
realize I am not the center of the universe. When I was drinking, I
was consumed by pride and self-centeredness. I felt the entire world
revolved around me, that I was master of my destiny. Humility
enables me to depend more on God (HP's) to help me overcome
obstacles, to
help me with my own imperfections, so that I may grow spiritually. I
must solve more difficult problems to increase my proficiency and,
as
I encounter life's stumbling blocks, I must learn to overcome them
through God's(HP's) help. Daily communion with God
(HP's)demonstrates my
humility and provides me with the realization that an entity more
powerful than I is willing to help me if I cease trying to play God
(HP's)
myself.
