22.
  ... itself, takes most of us a long, ...  12&12 Step Seven, p.73
To get completely away from our aversion to the idea of being humble, to gain a vision of humility as the avenue to true freedom of the human spirit, to be willing to work for humility as something to be desired for itself, takes most of us a long, long time.
