July 16 A MEASURE OF HUMILITY In every case, pain had been the price of admission into a new life. But this admission price had purchased more than we expected. It brought a measure of humility, which we soon discovered to be a healer of pain. — TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 75 It was painful to give up trying to control my life, even though success eluded me, and when life got too rough, I drank to escape. Accepting life on lifes terms will be mastered through the humility I experience when I turn my will and my life over to the care of God, as I understand Him. With my life in Gods care, fear, uncertainty, and anger are no longer my response to those portions of life that I would rather not have happen to me. The pain of living through these times will be healed by the knowledge that I have received the spiritual strength to survive.
