“Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.” — Step Six

Today, if we’ve been thoroughly honest in our Fourth Step, the Sixth is an extension in which we become ready to have our character defects removed — incredibly, maybe one of the Program’s “easiest” steps because to continue harboring our defects risks significant and possibly insurmountable roadblocks to recovery. Recovery and serenity cannot be fully realized if we hold onto selfishness, egoism, fear, regret, resentment. Becoming willing to let go of our defects is simple; the work comes in Step Seven. But, today, I am not only ready but willing and eager to unload the garbage of my soul. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2024
