Humility Is Essential
As a rule, people in recovery express gratitude for their sobriety, for having been given a second chance, for the recovery of loved ones and salvation of families, and support of fellowship. Active addiction is often characterized as an ego gone wild. So recovery requires not only abstinence but also elimination of character defects. This is why there are frequent expressions of thankfulness at Twelve Step meetings. People whose egos stand in the way of expressing gratitude are not too likely to be at these meetings, because their inflated ego has not let them admit their powerlessness.
