Alcoholics Anonymous - What Exactly Are The 12 Steps? Step 6

!: Alcoholics Anonymous - What Exactly Are The 12 Steps? Step 6

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

Using the tree metaphor, this is where we start going from the roots to the trunk of the tree.

We alcoholics are used to wallowing in our self pity. We like to use our character defect as a defense mechanism to keep the pain of the "real world" at bay. Letting go of these character defects means we won't have excuses any more.

If we are truly ready to have God remove these defects of character, then that means we will have to make a conscious effort to "better ourselves" and do what we know to be the right thing and not walk that path of self destruction.

In Step 4, we found and identified our character defects and in Step 5 we admitted our defects of character to God, ourselves, and another human being. Now in Step 6, we strive to become "entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character".

What exactly does that mean?

Step 6 of Alcoholics Anonymous is not really about asking God to remove our character defects, but about being "willing" and "entirely ready" to have God remove these defects of character when we do ask.

We all have character flaws that are blatantly obvious. The ones that we absolutely know we need to remove. But every alcoholic also has character defects that we are just not ready to give up, that we hold on to for dear life. Throughout the years as an alcoholic, we have rationalized these into being harmless, or perfectly acceptable. But if we truly did a "searching and fearless" moral inventory, than we have uncovered these defects of character and recognize them for what they truly are.

Once we can honestly say that we are entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character, then we will truly be ready to ask God to do so. But it is important to remember that this is a good example of progress and not perfection.
