June 2026
A.A. Principles:
Step 6: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Tradition 6: An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige invert us from our primary purpose.
Words from Bill W.:“A clear light seems to fall upon us all – when we open our eyes. Since our blindness is caused by our own defects, we must first deeply realize what they are. Constructive meditation is the first requirement for each new step in our spiritual growth.” Page 10. As Bill Sees
