I took a look at the AA 12 step program and made some revisions/replacements, ne ver liked the mentality of perpetuating helplessness

it disseminates anyway. 1. (We admitted we were powerless over alcohol eable.) that our lives had become unmanag

* Take Control of you own life, stop playing victim. Harden the fuck up.

2. (Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sani ty.) * Come to terms with reality instead of relying on imaginary friends.

3.( Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.) * Make a conscious decision to take responsibility for your self.

4. (Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our selves.) * Understand yourself, your thinking and motivations. Accept and love yourself, let go of the need to account for everything as if you are being watched.

5. (Admitted to God, to our selves and to another human being the exact nature o f our wrongs.) * Take God out of the equation, renounce guilt games, harden up and accept the c onsequences of your actions.

6. (Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.) * Look at the standards you have set and adopted, change what you find to be neg ative or hurtful to self/others. Stop making excuses about behaviour you don't r eally want to change embrace it and enjoy life.

7. (Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.) * Make an affirmation to the imaginary construct of god that enslaved you to go fuck himself. Contemplate why you still need to demonstrate strength of spirit/ character etc to christian friends.

8. (Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.) * Accept you have hurt people do what you can about it.

9. (Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so wo uld injure them or others.) * If they need help getting over what you did, keep your ego out of it, this is damage control and is about them not you.

10. (Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admit ted it.) * Be aware of your actions and motivations, aim to be consistent this will take away with the need to make apologies for what you truly believe you were right t o do.

11. (Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and th e power to carry that out.) * Spend time in the real world, accept that there are things you can't perceive and/or understand, live life unashamedly and ready to acknowledge there may not be anything out there and even if there is you are here not there.

12. (Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our af fairs.) * Stop prancing like an evangelical egomaniac fucking moron, just because it wor ks for you doesn't mean it needs to be shoved down peoples throat. Think of spir ituality as a phallus, keep it in your pants if someone wants to enjoy the use o f it make sure they are of sound mind to consent.
