How To Cope With The Dope
Step 6 of the 12 steps
Welcome to another transformative episode of How To Cope With The Dope, dedicated to helping you live your best life while loving someone who struggles with addiction. Today, we embark on Step 6 in our journey towards personal growth and serenity. This step focuses on personal readiness and willingness to let go of character defects or negative aspects of oneself that have been identified through the earlier steps. It emphasizes the importance of being prepared and open to change, trusting in a higher power (referred to as God in the traditional 12-step framework) to assist in the process of transformation.
In practical terms, Step 6 involves introspection and acceptance of one's shortcomings, acknowledging the need for personal growth and improvement. It marks a crucial stage where individuals confront their own limitations and commit to the idea of spiritual and moral progress with the help of a higher power.
