Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects – Steps Six and Seven – Quote 12

As it says in the *Twelve and Twelve,* it is not the blatantly obvious character defects that we have problems giving up, it is the ones we practice “in moderation” or only on occasion that are the most difficult. What appear to be natural instinctual drives seem to become our enemies when we start to contemplate and prepare to work Step Six. In becoming entirely ready—in deciding to be willing to surrender—we must examine our hearts and work with prayer and meditation to set aside self-image and move into self-awareness.
