THE TWELVE STEPS OF INSANITY

1.I believed I could control my drinking and I was the master of my own life.

2.I believed I was all powerful, the center of the universe, and that I was sane and rational in every respect.

3.I decided to run my own life and expected my will to be carried out at all times.

4.I made a thorough and searching inventory of everyone else and found them lacking.

5.I admitted to no one, including myself, that there was anything wrong with me.

6.I sought through alcohol to remove all my responsibility and to escape the responsibility that is life.

7.I got drunk to remove all these shortcomings.

8.I made a list of all persons who had harmed me, whether real or imagined, and swore to get even.

9.I got even whenever possible, except for when to do so would injure me.

10.I continued to find fault with the world and the people in it and swore I was always right.

11.I sought through lying, cheating, and stealing to improve myself at the expense of others, seeking only to get drunk and stay drunk.

12.Having had a complete moral, physical, emotional and financial breakdown as a result of this kind of thinking and living, I tried to drag everyone I loved down to my level. And I practiced these principles in all of my affairs.
