Humility: Once you think you have it … you don't! This is my way of remembering what humility is. This step is all about being humble. I have brought all the previous steps together and this is the place to which they have brought me – humbly, on my knees!

If you have been working at this 12-step program, you know that to get to this point, it has been a 'super-human' undertaking. I have surrendered! I have taken a hard look at myself. I have admitted that I had become, basically, an 'out-of-control' mess. I have understood the meaning of, 'what an order, I can't go through with it'. Fortunately, I also believe the solution, 'there is One who has all power. That one is God'. I also put myself in the position of humility when acting on the words, 'may you find Him now'.

This step is the culmination of that work. I am beginning to recognize that I am entirely dependent on God. No matter if I am a laborer, retired or a queen, I am a child of God and subservient to Him or Her. My ego hates any remark like this. It wants me to be boss and it will take all of my strength and determination to turn to my Holy Spirit for guidance.
