| 0:00.0 | Step six to me was an invitation to do something that felt good. I like the idea we read. Instead, we are reminded that we are in a partnership with the power greater than ourselves. That idea that I'm not doing this alone is very comforting to me. |
| 0:24.1 | Welcome to episode 423 of The Recovery Show. |
| 0:28.0 | This episode is brought to by Shira, Jennifer, Cecilia, Rebecca, and Karen. |

| 0:35.8 | Thank you, Shira, Jennifer, Cecilia, Rebecca, and Karen for your generous contributions. |
| 0:41.2 | This episode is for you. |
| 0:43.7 | We are friends and family members of alcoholics and addicts who have found a path to serenity and happiness. |

| 1:08.5 | During this show, we will share our own experiences. The opinions expressed here |

| 1:50.2 | Thanks, Spencer, and very happy to be joining you today. |
| 1:55.1 | When I started Step 6, I didn't know quite what to make of it, and my sponsor suggested I read, Drop the Rock, |
| 2:02.5 | which is a book from AA. Page 1 at the bottom, it says step 6 tells us to relax. We don't do it all |
| 2:11.3 | alone. Reflect. We turn to our higher power with confidence. Think of the relief that is waiting once we become |
| 2:19.0 | entirely ready. It's like heading into a hot shower after working at a grubby chore. Feeling the |
