Humility and being Humble

Please, all of you wise people.. please tell me about humility and being humble.
Please tell me what it is and what it means.

I could use some help with this. I think I am messing up hugely.
This has to do with living with others.. not with my XABF. It has to do with living recovery.

I think I have been very arrogant and I think that I still am.. Judgemental at times tho I often ask my self if I am doing my job (taking care of me) or God's job and thinking of myself as superior.

Sometimes I feel as if I say too much.. almost as if to say, "I am better because I have.... "
Other times I not.. other times I know no one is better than I am because we all put our pants on one leg at a time.. we all face life and death pretty much the same way.

Yet sometimes I think I am better perhpas.. even tho I am not better than anyone just as no one is better than me.

I don't WANT to be arrogant and I want to accept humility.. not the facade of humility. I want to be honestly humble.

Thank you.
