Step Six is actually pretty simple. We just tend to make these Steps harder than they have to be.
Step 6 is "Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character." All that means is that we must be WILLING to give up the defects that have kept us sick for so long. That's all this step is asking -- BE WILLING. We don't want to continue on the way we were, because that's why we were so sick -- we held onto the "old" ways -- the BAD ways, instead of getting rid of them. We cannot stay sober if we're going to stay selfish, angry, resentful, dishonest, etc.
So just as long as you're WILLING to have God remove our defects, you've basically done Step 6 (as long as you know what your defects ARE  )
I agree with Splitimage -- why NOT go to AA meetings? That was the only way I was able to STAY sober. They saved my life! You won't find "brown bottle, trenchcoat-wearing bums" there -- they're all people just like YOU. I think you'd get alot out of it.
Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
