“Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”
“Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 5 · How It WorksWhere it comes from
Step Six as printed in Chapter 5 of the 1939 first edition.
Today’s reflectionThe quietest Step, and many sponsors call it the hardest: nothing to write, nowhere to go — just readiness. Because our defects were never random; each one worked for us once. Resentment felt like protection. Control felt like safety. “Entirely ready” means done pretending the old tools still pay. You don’t have to remove anything today. You just have to stop renewing the lease.
