The Inverse 12 Steps of A.A.

From my Inbox, enjoy:

1.We admitted that we were powerless over nothing; we could manage our own lives perfectly and those of anyone else who 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 lives over to our care.

4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of everyone we knew.

5.Admitted to the world at large the exact nature of their wrongs.

6.Were entirely to make others straighten up and fly right.

7.Demanded of others to either "shape up or ship out".

8.Made a list of everyone who had ever harmed us; and became willing to go to any length to get revenge upon them all.

9.Got direct revenge on such people whenever possible except when to do so would cost us our own lives - or a term in jail...

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 get sympathy and pity in all our affairs.
