Greetings and salutations. Always wanted to open with that. My thought for today is Pride. Pride is a multifaceted emotional state and character trait centered on self-evaluation, self-worth, and status. Pride can be a good thing, when we have a healthy self-respect of our achievements, but it can also be a bad thing when our pride becomes arrogance. In 12 step recovery, pride is seen as "a chief stumbling block to true progress". It manifests as self-will run riot, a refusal to admit powerlessness, an unwillingness to ask for help, an insistence that we are unique and do not see the need for us to do what others need to do to recover. the opposite and possibly the antidote to pride would be humility, the ability to have a clear, uninflated view of oneself.
