| 12 Steps of Insanity |
1 |
We admitted we were powerless over nothing. We could manage our lives perfectly and we could manage those of anyone else that would allow it. |
2 |
Came to believe that there was no power greater than ourselves, and the rest of the world was insane. |
3 |
Made a decision to have our loved ones and friends turn their wills and their lives over to our care. |
4 |
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of everyone we knew. |
5 |
Admitted to the whole world at large the exact nature of their wrongs. |
6 |
Were entirely ready to make others straighten up and do right. |
7 |
Demanded others to either "shape up or ship out." |
8 |
Made a list of anyone who had ever harmed us and became willing to go to any lengths to get even with them all. |
9 |
Got direct revenge on such people whenever possible except when to do so would cost us our own lives or, at the very least, a jail sentence. |
10 |
Continued to take inventory of others, and when they were wrong, promptly and repeatedly told them about it. |
11 |
Sought through nagging to improve our relations with others as we couldn't understand them at all, asking only that they knuckle under and do things our way. |
12 |
Having had a complete physical, emotional and spiritual breakdown as a result of these steps, we tried to blame it on others, and to get sympathy and pity in all our affairs. |
