7/4 Passage From "How It Works:"
"This is the how and why of it. First of all, we had to quit playing God. It didn't work. Next, we decided that hereafter in this drama of life, God was going to be our Director. He is the Principal; we are His agents. He is the Father, and we are His children. Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to freedom."

7/5 Basis
STEP SEVEN: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
"For thousands of years we have been demanding more than our share of security, prestige, and romance. When we seemed to be succeeding, we drank to dream still greater dreams. When we were frustrated, even in part, we drank for oblivion. Never was there enough of what we thought we wanted...In all these strivings, so many of them well-intentioned, our crippling handicap had been our lack of humility....We never thought of making honesty, tolerance, and true love of man and God the daily basis of living."
c. 1952, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, pages 71-72

7/6
From "Annie the Cop Fighter:"
"Today I have a lot to be thankful for. A.A. has taught me the way of life. It has given me back my respect. It has given back the love of everybody I know. It has taught me to show gratitude, which I never did before. It has taught me to be humble when I have to be humble."

7/7 Complex Disease
From "Statement on alcoholism:"

7/8
Right Size
From "'Perfect' Humility:"
"I see that my journey toward God has scarce begun. "As I thus get down to my right size and stature, my self-concern and importance become amusing."

7/11 Relationship
From "There Is a Solution:"
"If what we have learned and felt and seen means anything at all, it means that all of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form a relationship upon simple and understandable terms as soon as we are willing and honest enough to try."

7/12 Growth
STEP SEVEN: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
"The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear -- primarily fear that we would lose something we already possessed or would fail to get something we demanded. Living upon a basis of unsatisfied demands, we were in a state of continual disturbance and frustration.... "The Seventh Step is where we make the change in our attitude which permits us, with humility as our guide, to move out from ourselves toward others and toward God."
c. 1952, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 76
