Step Four: Twelve Steps & Twelve Principles

Video Series: “As Larry Sees It: Larry shares with men in Goforth Recovery on Step Four, Humility & Character Defects

Humility

“Another great dividend we may expect from confiding our defects to another human being is humility—a word often misunderstood.”

“To those who have made progress in A.A., it amounts to a clear recognition of what and who we really are, followed by a sincere attempt to become what we could be.”

“Therefore, our first practical move toward humility must consist of recognizing our deficiencies”

12 & 12. Pg. 58,

 

Dr Bob, one of the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, had a plaque on his desk defining humility:

“Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore. To wonder at nothing that is done to me. To feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. To have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret, and be at peace. As in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.”

From pg 222, “Dr Bob and the Good Old Timers”,
