The 12 and 12

24 Hours a Day

Step 6 addresses the issue of our readiness to have removed the defects of character we identified in Step 4. After the hard work of the previous two steps, this step seems quick and easy. Not much is required in terms of action, but our experience is that a great deal is required both emotionally and spiritually. Ultimately, this Step asks us if we are willing to behave different.

If we do not recognize a problem, we cannot solve it. Working Step 6 allows us to see our problem clearly. This Step focuses our attention on our willingness to give up defects of character, even defects that we enjoy. But we know that all character defects can lead us back to our addictions, even the character defects that we like. Step 6 allows us the ability to see even those pleasurable defects and ncourages us to find a spiritual solution.

We conducted a survey of our listeners this week.

We simply asked, “Have you worked step 6?”

Let’s look at the results
