Haha, we are on a slightly different page, trach. I'm wasn't talking about the being humbled by other people, places or things humility. I am searching to replace some of this alkie ego I've had by placing humility first.

Here is a recent example. We were discussing humility at a mtg last week and one of my favorite takeaways was someone saying how humbled he felt by just the ability to attend that meeting. Just being there among all of us recovering drunks was humbeling to him.

Heck, 17 months of meetings in, I was already taking the fact that they exist for granted. It's Tuesday at 7 pm and here is a meeting...what else is new? Every mtg I've attended since he said that I now think to myself...Wow, what a gift this mtg is to be thankful for...I'm lovin that type of humility! So different from the bring me to my knees type.
