Ego
All of A.A.'s Twelve Steps ask us to go contrary to our natural desires . . .
they all deflate our egos. When it comes to ego deflation, few Steps are
harder to take than Five. But scarcely any Step is more necessary to
longtime sobriety and peace of mind than this one.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Five) p. 55
Thought to Ponder . . .
The difference between pride and humility:
Pride is who is right. Humility is what is right.
AA-related 'Alconym'
A A = Attitude Adjustment.
Thank you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
