"WE ARE ENTIRELY READY TO HAVE GOD REMOVE ALL THESE DEFECTS OF CHARACTER"
The recovery process is a series of deaths and rebirths. We die time and again to the old relience our carnal dependencies. We continually give birth to new life that is spiritually oriented and infilled with the love of God. In step 6, we ask god to remove defects of character, and this removal requires that we die to old ways of being and acting. We must die on a false relience on possesive and jealous human relationships. we must die to a pre occupation with material wealth, power or authority. we must die to our dependency on mood altering chemicals or food as a means of satiating spiritual needs.
The expression of the holy spirit within us can only be alive to the extent that we have died to our old ways. We seek to be thorough in this invocation of God's help,for half measures availed us nothing.
