And what exactly does the below photo have to do with Step 6?
It helped me to get centered and settled as I begin an extremely short Post about Step 6.
Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.
Copy and paste is great.
Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.
Now, in addition to having known Step 6 for all of your time in A.A., will you all tell me precisely where it says what, if anything, God IS going to actually do?
I do not see where it says, or implies, that God is going to do anything!
All Step 6 says is that we, as individuals, are entirely ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.
A week or so ago, in a meeting, a friend brought Step 6 up and in discussing it pointed this fact out.
Ask 1,000 members of A.A. what Step 6 says, and my money is on them saying that, in Step 6, God is going to remove all of these defects of character.
Let's all smile!
Do you suppose that the Ducks are pondering Step 6?

I think most people are unclear as to the difference between 6 and 7. We are a stubborn lot, so we need a whole step just to become willing to part with the things that bring us so much trouble. Heck, we spend a whole step just trying to accept that there is a power greater than us. I am thankful it got broken down to basic, small steps.
