us, to make room for new attitudes and ideas. It
follows on from Steps Four and Five where we
identify the defects we need to get rid of. It may all
sound quite neat but in reality, we are often reluctant
to remove bad habits. The softer, easier way may not
have worked but \u2018softer and easier\u2019 was a comfort
zone \u2013 it was a coping mechanism, albeit a
maladaptive one. We turn to our Higher Power at
this important moment because there must be no
compromises and we need guidance. Am I entirely
ready to go through with Step Six?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The important thing is this: to be able, at any
moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could
become. His use of the word \u2018sacrifice\u2019 is important
here, because it recognises how difficult it can be to
give up our old ways. To use another phrase that du
Bos would have recognised, \u2018nostalgie de la
boue\u2019 (the attraction of degradation) is hard to
remove. It is a process that may take time, but it will
be time well spent \u2013 another new experience for
some of us. Today I ask God for guidance as I work
to remove all my shortcomings.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
