Directions for the Sixth Step 76:1-5
Quote:
If we can answer to our satisfaction, we then look at step six. We have emphasized willingness as being indispensable. Are we now ready to let God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable? Can He now take them all----every one? Should we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing.
These are the directions for Step Six. They are simple and straightforward. Are we willing to abandon our selfish and self-centered way of life and adopt fully a life guided by God? We have discovered many character flaws. Have we admitted that these things are the truth? Are we willing to let go of our old ideas, attitudes, and actions? Are we willing to adopt this new outlook on life? Are we willing to pray for willingness in those areas at which we balk? If we are willing, we will continue to the Seventh Step.
