IT ALLOWS US TO LOOK DEEPER -
"... when we have
taken a square look
at some of these de-
fects, have discussed
them with another, and
have become willing to
have them removed, our
thinking about humility
commences to have
a wider meaning."
(12 & 12, p. 74)
THE MAIN INGREDIENT -
"We couldn't han-
dle the ordeal of life
by ourselves. It wasn't
until we made a mess of
our lives that we realized
we couldn't do it alone. By
admitting this, we achiev-
ed a glimpse of humility.
This is the main ingre-
dient of Step Sev-
en." (The Basic
Text, p. 36)
"I can
trust my
friends. These
people force me
to examine my-
self, encourage
me to grow."
