Topic: Step 6 –  Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Paths to Recovery: Pg 65
The key principle of Step Six is readiness. If we believe we re ready but find we are procrastinating, we need to consider each character defect more closely to see what is stopping us. In most cases we can find several factors that block us from being entirely ready. A longtime member of Al-Anon suggests that, by closely reading, studying, and understanding Step Six, some members begin to understand the spiritual basis of this Step. As discussed in Steps, One, Two and Three, we learned that we couldn’t handle the disease of alcoholism, we acknowledged that the God of our understanding could, and that we would let Him. Without true unconditional acceptance of Step Three, the action of Step Six is impossible.
