"Humility is a result of getting honest with ourselves." Basic Text p. 35
Humility was an idea so foreign to most of us that we ignored it as long as we could.

Perhaps we chose to look it up in the dictionary, only to become even more confused by the definition. We didn't understand how "lowliness and subservience" applied to recovery.
