> November 8: Have I lost my inferiority complex? My note: or, perhaps our superiority complex is masking our fear of being inferior.
> This is November, the 11th month of the year;
> • The 11th Tradition reads: Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

> I have lost much of my inferiority complex. I was always trying to escape from life. I did not want to face reality. I was full of self-pity. I was constantly sorry for myself. I tried to avoid all responsibilities. I did not feel that I would handle the responsibilities of my family or my work. Owing to my inferiority complex, I was eager to be free of all responsibilities. I wanted to drift; I wanted to be "on the beach." A.A. showed me how to get over my feeling of inferiority. It made me want to accept responsibility again. Have I lost my inferiority complex?

> "One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things that are before, I press onward toward the goal." We should forget those things which are behind us and press onward toward something better.. We can believe that God has forgiven us for all our past sins, provided we are honestly trying to live today the way we believe He wants us to live. We can wipe clean the slate of the past. We can start today with a clean slate and go forward with confidence toward the goal that has been set before us.

> The following is Excerpt No. 301 from As Bill Sees It : “To Rebuild Security”
>
> In our behavior respecting financial & emotional security, fear, greed, possessiveness, & pride have too often done their worse. Surveying his business or employment record, almost any alcoholic can ask questions like these: In addition to my drinking problem, what character defects contributed to my financial instability?
> Did fear & inferiority about my fitness for my job destroy my confidence & fill me with conflict? Or did I overvalue myself & play the big shot? Businesswomen in A.A. will find that these questions often apply to them too, & the alcoholic housewife can also make the family financially insecure. Indeed, all alcoholics need to cross-examine themselves ruthlessly to determine how their own personality defects have demolished their security.
