The basic concept of humility is expressed in the Eleventh Tradition: it allows me to participate completely in the program in such a simple, yet profound, manner; it fulfils my need to be an integral part of a significant whole.
Humility brings me closer to the actual spirit of togetherness and oneness, without which I could not stay sober.
In remembering that every member is an example of sobriety, each one living the Eleventh Tradition, I am able to experience freedom because each one of us is anonymous.
