Threshold,
I was in the tail end of the divorce process when I got sober, and I know that can be a really rough deal in early sobriety.
This elusive, spiritual awakening thing, where does it come from? 'Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps'... is written in Step 12. Is there any practical reason for 'working' on Step 6? Are you willing to have these character defects removed? If so, say the 7th Step prayer and get busy making amends. I sponsor guys to do 6-7 an hour after we finish 5th Stepping. There is no need to be stuck where you are.
