A TURNING POINT, p.201

<br>

<br>
A great turning point in our lives came when we sought for humility
<br>
as something we really wanted, rather than as something we must
<br>
have.
<br>
12 &amp; 12, p.75
<br>

<br>
Either the A.A. way of life becomes one of joy or I return to the
<br>
darkness and despair of alcoholism. Joy comes to me when my
<br>
attitude concerning God and humility turns to one of desire rather
<br>
than of burden. The darkness in my life changes to radiant light
<br>
when I arrive at the realization that being truthful and honest in
<br>

dealing with my inventory results in my life being filled with serenity,
<br>
freedom, and joy. Trust in my Higher Power deepens, and the flush
<br>
of gratitude spreads through my being. I am convinced that being
<br>
humble is being truthful and honest in dealing with myself and God.
<br>
It is then that humility is something I "really want," rather being
<br>
"something I must have." <hr>
