Step Six is often misunderstood.

“We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”

For many people in recovery, the hardest part isn’t identifying the defects. It’s becoming entirely ready to let them go.

By Step Six, you’ve done the inventory. You’ve seen who you’ve been. The question becomes simple but confronting: Are you willing to change?

In this reflection, I share a therapist’s perspective on why Step Six is the turning point. A doctor doesn’t heal a broken arm. A farmer doesn’t force growth. They set the conditions. Recovery works the same way.

Step Six is the bridge between who you were and who you are willing to become.

Willingness is where transformation begins.

Humility gets misunderstood.
It doesn’t mean shrinking yourself. It doesn’t mean weakness. It means being grounded enough to tell the truth about where you actually are.
The word humility comes from humus, of the earth.
In recovery, growth begins when defensiveness softens, and someone can say, “I don’t have this figured out.”
You can’t heal from a pedestal. You heal when your feet are on the ground.
Stay teachable. Stay grounded.

At The Recovery Collective in Annapolis Md, we are grateful to offer a free weekly Vipassana meditation group rooted in the same tradition as these Buddhist peace walkers. Our facilitator, Zaw Maw, brings a depth of experience and cultural connection that makes this practice even more meaningful.

Meditation is not about escaping life. It is about learning how to meet it with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

Free Communal meditation and Vipassana guidance every Sunday at 7pm. All are welcome.

Thirty days ago, this series started with a question.
Not a rule. Not a label. Just an honest pause.

Since then, you’ve looked at effort.
Mental load.
Stress.
Relief versus peace.
What actually works… and what quietly costs you.

This final video isn’t about pushing you toward a decision.
It’s about giving you a real way forward if you’re done guessing.

If you want to keep doing this on your own, that’s awesome! You got this!
And if you want structure, tools, and guidance to decide whether control or quitting actually works for you, there’s a clear next step available.

No forcing.
No white-knuckling.
No pressure.

Just clarity, structure, and a plan you can live with.

👇 If this series helped you think differently, follow or save this video, and leave a comment about it.
And if you’re ready for a step-by-step process, you’ll know where to find it.

After nearly a month of paying attention, most people are closer to clarity than they realize.

Not certainty.
Not a forever decision.
Just clearer information for healthy action.

👇 Quiet check-in:
Does your drinking feel easier, harder, or unchanged compared to a month ago?

Super Bowl Sunday: Control or Quit?

Most people judge progress with alcohol the same way they judge a game: wins, losses, streaks.

But that way of tracking often creates pressure instead of clarity.

Today’s video is about a different approach to tracking progress—one that helps you notice patterns, effort, and impact without obsessing or beating yourself up.

This matters whether you’re cutting back, questioning your drinking, or simply paying closer attention after big events or weekends.

If this perspective is helpful, feel free to react, save, or share it with someone who might need a calmer way to look at progress.

Most people don’t struggle because they don’t care.
They struggle because they’re relying on intentions without guardrails.

This video breaks down what a real plan looks like for cutting back and for quitting, especially the moment where people usually say, "I'll be fine" or “I’ll decide later.”

That’s not a character flaw. It’s a planning gap.

Low-pressure check-in:
If this is the moment where things usually go sideways, comment “Yes!.”
No explanation needed.

If you’re still unsure about your drinking, that doesn’t mean you’re doing this wrong.

Clarity doesn’t come from deciding harder.
It comes from looking honestly at patterns, without judgment or labels.

This video is about what to do when you’re still unsure and how to move forward with better information, not pressure.

👇 Reflection question:
What do you notice most after you drink?

If you want to keep doing this on your own, that’s valid.
And if you want more structure and guidance, that option exists too.

Follow along as we keep moving forward.

This is part of a 30-day Control or Quit series about alcohol, effort, and what actually brings peace.

Not to rush you.
Not to label you.
But to help you notice what’s getting easier and what’s still costing you.

If something in this video resonates, you don’t have to do anything with it yet. Awareness is enough.

👇 If you’re open to reflecting:
What feels lighter right now than it used to?

Follow along to keep going, one day at a time.

Relief and peace can feel similar in the moment.
But they don’t lead to the same place.

Relief is fast. It quiets discomfort quickly.
Peace is quieter, slower, and tends to last longer.

Today’s video is about learning to tell the difference, not so you can force a decision, but so you can notice what you’re actually chasing.

👇 Honest check-in:
When things feel better, does it feel like relief… or peace?

You don’t need to answer out loud. Just noticing the difference is progress.

Follow along as we keep unpacking this together.

Day 23 of Control or Quit

If the idea of being “done forever” with alcohol makes you tense, that doesn’t mean you’re failing.

You don’t need a lifetime decision to take care of yourself today.
Space first. Pressure off. Clarity later.

You can choose differently now.
You can build support.
You can reassess later, intentionally, not impulsively.

👇 Honest check-in:
What part of the word “forever” feels heavy for you?

Follow to keep walking this out, one day at a time.
