In our Fellowship meeting today, we asked and answered these questions: 
1. In what ways have the first five Steps helped you prepare for the removal of your ineffective behaviour?
2. What behaviour changes indicate your readiness to have your Higher Power remove your character defects?
I believe that these two questions are showing us that we are well equipped to take Step 6: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
As an adult child, I think that I am used to (and good at) setting myself up for failure. I’m not as good at setting myself up for success. Now I see how it is done. I will try to set myself up for success more often, by looking at what skills I have already learned and also by looking how far I have come on my way to my goal.
Once more, our program says that we seek progress not perfection and when I look at my basket of skills and experience, I see plenty of progress. This gives me hope that I can manage Step 6 and that I become willing to take the step.
