Step 6

Step 6 begins an inner purification if you will. By the addict sublimating himself or herself to a higher source an inner cleansing takes place. Its this inner cleansing that allows the addict to feel renewed and thus begin anew.

Step 6 starts the addict on a path to spiritual and inner maturity, allowing him or her to feel distanced from what was once the terror and despair of addiction and draw close to the joy of inner and outer peace. Of course this is a process and in the beginning, allowing these defects to become removed might actually be traumatic like severing one’s limb from it’s body, but in reality a beautiful flower exists inside and through the shedding of these defects through the connection to an infinite source, the flower will be able to blossom.

Step 6 is not task-heavy; recovering addicts admit to being ready to have the character defects already explored in prior steps, such as resentments, fears and remorse, removed from them by their higher power.

Where do calls go?

Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider. Calls are routed based on availability and geographic location.

The 12Step.com helpline is free, private, and confidential. There is no obligation to enter treatment. In some cases, 12Step.com could charge a small cost per call, to a licensed treatment center, a paid advertiser, this allows 12Step.com to offer free resources and information to those in need by calling the free hotline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses.
