Wanting Humility
We saw we needn't always be bludgeoned and beaten into humility.
It could come quite as much from our voluntary reaching for it as it
could from unremitting suffering. A great turning point in our lives
came when we sought for humility as something we really wanted,
rather than as something we must have.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Seven) p. 75
