STEP SIX
"Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character."
I just did not want to take a very good look at my
most glaring character defects
Because it was I did not think I had any but when I
look back mine were very defective ones
Well when I lost all and surrendered that’s when I
started to look at my character defects
Had a lot of work in that department walking thru all
the wrong choices I made in my life
Sifting thru all the lies I told to myself and everyone else I even believed the lies myself
I hurt a lot of people with my big mouth and excusing
it with saying you know I was just kidding
I had lots of work but did not need to go there alone
steps guided me thru the hardest times
Helping me to make rational choices today showing me
that life is not what Al can get out of it
I got real angry with people because of my short
comings anger was the biggest of them
How I treated people was not very good if I was to
remain sober I had to became teachable
At long last I started to look at Al's faults and how
I could change them drop the Ego
I needed a lot of help in changing my life thru
making amends and feeling the hurt I caused
And asking for the forgiveness that I needed from
those I did hurt did not always get it
But did clean up my side of the street because all I
can do is trying when I have the opportunity
My HP was all loving and forgiven and with his help I
could learn how to forgive others
I also learned how to forgive myself for harms done
and let go of the shame I had when drinking
I had some great expectations for myself when I was
out there drinking but all false expectations
Only these things Al wanted I still get emotional
over the torment and fears of looking at my past
Well I did become entirely ready to have God remove
all these defects of character from me
Today my Ideals are not so great that I will fall
short of them my expectations for today
Are of a God Centered life for my family and myself
and AA is part of my family in recovery
Together we can do anything with God watching over us
we live in harmony today
Now it’s what Al can put into life I choose to live free from booze also from the hurt and pain
The program is of unselfishness love forgiveness of
others as well as forgiveness of self
Every morning I choose how I want to live today my
way or Gods way
Choice is very simple today I want to tune my will
into what Gods plans are for me
