Defects keep us stuck.

We often make Step Six harder than it needs to be by overthinking whether we’re “completely ready” to let go of certain traits.

A lot of these traits have become weirdly important to us by the time we get to this point in the program. They’ve felt like survival tools during tough times. So, believing we don’t need them anymore takes a lot of courage and an open mind. That’s where our friends in the program can help us out.

At first, it might seem impossible to change—after all, it’s just who we are. But with the support of our friends and a Higher Power, it becomes possible. Little by little, as we get ready to let go of these behaviors, we start to realize how stuck we were. And, in the end, we feel true joy discovering that we’re capable of becoming someone new.

…

Today’s Affirmation:

Today is a fresh on being who I want to be, free of any defect.

A Life Of My Own

Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.

Karen Casey, also the author of Each Day a New Beginning for women, she has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her own recovery from addiction started in Twelve Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
