Humility
When I first came in "the rooms" I thought humility and humiliation were synonyms. When counselors and sponsors told me I had to get humility or drink, I thought they meant I had to be humiliated. I already felt humiliated. I didn't want humility or humilation but, I did not want to get drunk either. Finally, after lots of work and the Grace of my Higher Power, I got the difference.
Yesterday, I thought about the difference as I was down on my knees snaking out a toilet. I also thought about how little graduate school prepared me for life. But that thought was more of a matter of pride. ¶ 6/02/2005 02:12:00 PM
