Step 7: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Humility is not the absence of self-worth—it’s the presence of self-awareness 🧠💬. Step 7 invites us to see the patterns that sabotage our recovery and to ask for them to be removed 🛑➡️🕊️. We don’t do this alone or through sheer will. We rely on a power greater than ourselves 🙌. This is an ongoing process that deepens our recovery as we let go of what no longer serves us 🌀.
