    Excellent video, love how you explained step 6, also, did not understand steps 6 & 7 even after redoing the steps. Then I heard a woman do a step 6 chair and everything fell into place, I now understand the word 'remove' means not just 'get rid of' but also 'to distance myself from' - For example; if I am moving house, I hire a removal van to transport my furniture from my old house to my new home. When I spot that one of defects is activated, I ask God to help me remove my defect. I can't rely on God alone, I must take action and remove myself physically from "people, places and things" STEP 7-I obtain humility and ask God to remove my shortcomings

    Right on! What I exposed in my Fifth step in early sobriety is still being shown to me years and years later. What happens is that I become more awari become more aware later in God,s time to identify a deep rooted character defect. I sure couldn’t handle everything at one. I say the seventh step prayers morning and bam ! Thirty years later I arrive at a more acute understanding of something. Slowly but surely... good stuff. Thanks

    First time i really think i got what step 6 means was in aa meeting, just before i started to made my 4th step. I had a lot of antipathy toward God. Suddenly i just realized that i've been used God to mask my own insecurities, and that i can really just accept everything how it really is.... This led to so called ego death, i started crying because i was so happy. That was hands down, the best experience i have ever had in my life. Only lasted about 2weeks, but it was a really wild ride when i could just be, well, me. Without any of that harmful social programming or thoughts of how i think i should be to gain acceptance of others This video is pretty much how i have understand these two steps. Sorry about my bad english.
