“"The attainment of greater humility is the foundation principle of each of AA's twelve steps."”
What makes humility such a crucial part of the recovery journey? In this episode of Transitions Daily, Kurt L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, shares daily readings that highlight humility as the cornerstone of Alcoholics Anonymous' Twelve Steps. The episode brings together a collection of recovery quotes and reflections from renowned AA literature, including 'Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions' and 'As Bill Sees It.' You'll hear how humility isn't just about being modest but is a vital component for staying sober.

The episode touches on the idea that spirituality can't be handed down; it's something each person must earn through their own journey.
