I find a lot of defects are hard to let go of. Partly because my faith and trust in my God needs to improve and partly because they're just so darn habitual. That's precisely what I'm talking about when I say steps 6 and 7 can be so challenging.
That you recognize your defects or at least are on the lookout for them is a good sign though. It shows you're taking an active role in your recovery and that you're WORKING to be a better person. That's a whole lot better than most of us did while in our addiction....which was usually to just THINK about being a better person.
