There can be no absolute humility for us humans.
At best, we can only glimpse the meaning and splendor
of such a perfect ideal.
As the book Alcoholics Anonymous says,
"We are not saints . . . we claim spiritual progress
rather than spiritual perfection."
Only God himself can manifest the absolute;
we human beings must needs live and grow
in the domain of the relative.
We seek humility for today.
- Bill W., July 1961.
Humility, expressed by anonymity,
is the greatest safeguard that AA can ever have.
