I think I might get it, step 6. The step itself makes little sense to me the way it is written. The June "The Forum" has an article on step 6, it's the last one in the magazine. These are a few quotes of what particularly stuck out to me:
"trust the process"
"My defect or defects may become so exaggerated that I find it becomes too painful to go on living with them."
"I can choose to muddle through the way I have in the past, or I can choose to ready myself for God's help. I can choose to be open to a new way."
And it is that last sentence that really drove it home for me. Do I want a new life or am I happy with the one I have now? Obviously I am not happy with the life I have now. If I were, I wouldn't need meetings. Am I ready for a new way of life? I think I just might be. I've been doing things lately that I've always done, and it's been pissing the hell out of me. Or rather, I'm doing things I've always done, and it really bothers me that I'm still doing them. I can't remove my character defects myself. I want a new way of life.
I think I get it.
