"Complete the Housecleaning"
"Having persevered with the rest of the program, they
wondered why they fell.
"We think the reason is that they never completed their
housecleaning. They took inventory all right, but hung on to
some of the worst items in stock. They only thought they
had lost their egoism and fear; they only thought they had
humbled themselves. But they had not learned enough of
humility, fearlessness, and honesty, in the sense we find it
necessary, until they told someone else their entire life story.

de Grace, Aberdeen, Spesutia, Riverside, Abingdon) please
