I Need Your Help

"Each of the Steps asks humility of us. It was grudging humility, but humility nevertheless, that led me to seek help for my alcoholism: a turning point in my life. It was humility that led me to ask someone to sponsor me. And it is humility that keeps me going to meetings."

Step by Step, p. 75

Final Thought

" . . . If we skip this vital step, we may not overcome drinking. Time after time newcomers have tried to keep to themselves certain facts about their lives. . . But they had not learned enough of humility, fearlessness and honesty, in the sense we find it necessary, until they told someone else all their life story. "
