ALL WE DO IS TRY
Can He now take them all -- every one?
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76
In doing Step Six it helped me a lot to remember that I am striving for "spiritual progress." Some of my character defects may be with me for the rest of my life, but most have been toned down or eliminated. All that Step Six asks of me is to become willing to name my defects, claim them as my own, and be willing to discard the ones I can, just for today. As I grow in the program, many of my defects become more objectionable to me than previously and, therefore, I need to repeat Step Six so that I can become happier with myself and maintain my serenity.

So true. The longer im sober the more i see, and do become more willing to let go,,progress not perfection,,and very good point as to why it says continued to practice these princaplas in all our affairs, We never realy finish the 12 steps,,we or i apply them to daily living, because all kinds of things arise that were not seen before, and now i have tools to deal with it,,and allow god to do what i cant, Getting better,,,Thank you HP.
