Were entirely ready to have god remove all these defects of character.  Step Six, Alcoholics Anonymous

Questions from the Contents page in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions:
Step Six necessary to spiritual growth.  The beginning of a lifetime job.  Recognition of difference between striving for objective - and perfection.  Why we must keep trying.  "Being ready" is all-important.  Necessity of taking action.  Delay is dangerous.  Rebellion may be fatal.  Point at which we abandon limited objectives and move toward God's will for us. 


Reading Assignment:
Step Six - Re-Read - Chapter 6  - Into Action

A few questions for focus:
Reflect on what you have learned about fearlessness, humility and honesty.  How do you utilize these realities in your life today?
How are defects of character lifted from you? 
How are the three parts of the program coming together in your life today?  (spiritual, emotional, physical)
