"In the Seventh Step, humility means understanding our role in our own recovery, appreciating our strengths and limitations, and having faith in a Power greater than ourselves."* ~ IWHW, page 69
My recovery is about me - Just because I "humbly ask" doesn't eliminate my responsibility to do my part. The 7th step informs us that:
"We have the freedom to choose to act constructively or, when appropriate, do nothing at all."
I contend that "acting constructively" is a positive behavioral change as compared to acting destructively (like during active addiction).
