Countdown to the 12 Steps (satire)

Alot of you have seen this before, but it cracks me up every time!

12. I assumed control over the addict and began to arrange their life

11.Came to believe that the addict was insane and that only I could restore them 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.Was entirely ready to have God remove the addict

6. Arrogantly pointed out the shortcomings of the addict

5. made a list of all the persons they had harmed and lived in dread of ever seeing them again.

4.Went out of my way to make amends for the addict

3.Continued to take their inventory when they were wrong and promplty berate them for it.

2.Sought through denail and manipulation to increse my control over their life; praying only that God would fix things my way

1.Having had a nervous breakdown as a result of these steps, admited I was powerless over the addict and that my life had become unmanageable
