Ego

Someone once defined the ego as "the sum total of false ideas about myself."
Persistent reworking of the Twelve Steps enables me to gradually strip away my false ideas about myself.
This permits nearly imperceptible but steady growth in my understanding of the truth about myself.
And this, in turn, leads to a growing understanding of God and other human beings.
Do I strive for self-honesty, promptly admitting when I'm wrong?
