November 28
Being Ourselves

"To be truly humble is to accept and honestly try to be ourselves."

Basic Text pg. 35

Humility is a puzzling concept. We know a lot about humiliation, but humility is a new idea. It sounds suspiciously like groveling, bowing, and scraping. But that's not what humility is at all. True humility is, simply, acceptance of who we are.

By the time we reach a step that uses the word "humbly;" we have already started to put this principle into practice. The Fourth Step gives us an opportunity to examine who we really are, and the Fifth Step helps us accept that knowledge.

The practice of humility involves accepting our true nature, honestly being ourselves. We don't have to grovel or abase ourselves, nor must we try to appear smarter, wealthier, or happier than we really are. Humility simply means we drop all pretense and live as honestly as we can.

Just for today: I will allow knowledge of my true nature to guide my actions. Today, I will face the world as myself.

pg. 346

yep i had to humble my ass when I got clean and accept the fact that I COULD NO LONGER USE SUCCESSFULLY  it was kicking my ass even if I didnt want to stop using I had to my life was a wreck from using.

And as time passed by I got used to not using and my life improved then I saw what humility could do with obsessions I had, it taught me surrender and acceptance.

Today I am a humble servant, learning to live and love again this is a real good thing give yourselves a break it can work for you too, thanks Jason for posting .
