I copied and pasted the following from the Naranon-California website. Maybe you’ve seen it before.

COUNTDOWN TO THE 12-STEPS
12. I assumed control over the addict and began to arrange his life.
11. Came to believe that the addict was insane and that only I could restore him to sanity.
10. Made a decision that my will be done, come hell or high water.
9. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the addict.
8. Admitted to anyone who would listen that the addict was insane.
7. Were entirely ready to have God remove the addict.
6. Arrogantly pointed out the shortcomings of the addict.
5. Made a list of all persons he had harmed and lived in dread of ever seeing them again.
4. Went out of my way to make amends for our addict.
3. Continued to take his inventory and when he was wrong promptly berated him for it.
2. Sought thru denial and manipulation to increase my control over his life; praying only that God would fix things my way.
1. Having had a nervous breakdown as a result of these steps, admitted I was powerless over the addict and that my life had become unmanageable.

I love this, it seems to say it all doesn't it??
