Step 1: Spiritual Principles, Question 11

How am I practicing the principle of humility in connection with this work on the First Step?

Well, this fucking job I have is extremely humbling. I do it regardless. I don’t lash out at the ‘kids’ that run things in Human Resources when they power trip.

I dunno, I’m getting sick of these fucking questions. They make me feel like I’m supposed to feel or be at a certain place in my recovery. I am where I am and I do what I do. Is this an aspect of being less than humble? Maybe. I just no longer see the validity of these questions and I question whether these questions have been put together by qualified individuals.

Why is it that I feel like a bad person when I look at myself closely? I know that I am NOT a bad person so why manipulate me in making me feel like a piece of shit?

Humility? Does self-hatred count towards that? I already don’t like myself and now you want to take away the moments when I actually feel good by saying humility must always be practiced.

Maybe I NEED to be cocky sometimes. Shit, it kinda helps balance the scales a little.
