Episode 39: Humility is defined as having or showing a consciousness of one's own defects. 
Humility is the cornerstone of all recovery
Here are my reason's why.

* The first step in all recovery is to admit you have a problem. So, if you aren't aware of, or don't want to admit it, you're not going to recover. Many people choose vain pride their whole life rather than show any emotional authenticity to those that love them. It's an unhappy existence and entirely unnecessary. 
* 12-Step Recovery has been around for 80 years unchanged from it's original form. Well, they have 12 Traditions too. Anonymity and humility are related. No one is the boss. Everyone serves each other in fellowships that stand the test of time.
