The most important thing to remember for me at this point was not to drink, 
because if I did the same things that always happened would continue to 
happen and that is the insanity...
Then I remember that when I felt as you do the fear of humility vanished as I 
was accepted into the fellowship unconditionally and hurt bad enough that I 
heard the message...
And I am still listening and attending meetings, doing as is suggested, and 
just NOT TAKING THAT NEXT DRINK... and things are beginning to get better.
Good luck!
