We progress to the Sixth Step by working diligently, to the best of our
ability, on the first five Steps this work readies us for a change of heart,
an openness to becoming changed by a Power greater than ourselves.

The path to this willingness can be long and hard. Many of us have to struggle
with a behavior or feeling before we become ready to let it go. We need to
see, over and over again, that the coping device that once protected us is no
longer useful.

The defects of character referred to in Step Six are old survival behaviors
that once helped us cope with people, life, and ourselves. But now they are
getting in our way, and it is time to be willing to have them removed.
