This week, we started Chapter One, "Step Six," reading pages 1-10. We discussed the step's emphasis on surrendering our will and allowing our higher power to remove our defects of character. The group shared personal experiences of striving for complete readiness and overcoming challenges in this process. Step six encourages us to stop fighting and embrace a new way of life.
It's about learning to trust, surrender, and move beyond self-will. We begin to recognize the value our defects once had, but also see how they no longer serve us as we evolve into a healthier lifestyle—one that seeks balance and awareness.
"Finding balance means integrating the insights from Steps Four and Five with the action from Steps Six and Seven. As we shift, our extremes begin to align, and change happens."
Next week, we'll continue on page 10, starting with "Charlie's story." Looking forward to the next part of the journey!
How has your understanding of surrendering your will and trusting in a higher power evolved through this process?
