Humility for Today

Guilt is really the reverse side of the coin of pride.
Guilt aims at self-destruction and pride aims at the destruction of others.
This is why I see humility for today as that safe and secure stance
midway between these violent emotional extremes.
to take my next small step up the clearly marked road that points to eternal values.
- The Best of Bill, p. 47

Thought to Ponder . . .
Many people haven't even a nodding acquaintance with humility as a way of life.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
C H A N G E = Choosing Humility Allows New Gifts and Energy.



Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
