Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 25! In this episode I cover the 6th Step: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.  While god isn't necessary, coming to terms with the need to remove attachments to personal traits that are causing harm is.  The 6th tradition keeps AA from becoming a sellable brand that, at one point, was almost slapped on educational pamphlets put out by big alcohol.  Despite the episode coming out on the 4th I choose to read January 1st from the Daily Stoic to commemorate the start of a new year.
