Pride-blindness

We scarcely need to be reminded that excessive guilt or rebellion leads to spiritual poverty.
But it was a very long time before we knew we could go even more broke on spiritual pride.
When we early AA's got our first glimmer of how spiritually prideful we could be, we coined this expression: "Don't try to get too damned good by Thursday!" . . . This is our AA way of warning against pride-blindness, and the imaginary perfections that we do not possess.

Swallowing my pride will not get me drunk.
