THE 12 STEPS TO A RELATIONSHIP

STEP ZERO
Sobering up and realizing we were lonely, horny and desperate. We sought to find that special someone, to fill that gaping hole inside us that you could fly a Boeing 747 through.

STEP ONE
Admitted we were obsessing on someone other than ourselves (miracle) and that our lives were soon quickly going to turn to shit.

STEP TWO
Came to believe that we needed to have sex with this special someone as soon as possible… And as often.

STEP THREE
Made a decision to turn our bodies and minds over to the care of this special someone, in the hopes that they will fix us.

STEP FOUR
Made a searching and fearless physical examination of each other.

STEP FIVE
Manipulating and rationalizing with the committees in our heads, the justification of this relationship.

STEP SIX
Pointing out their character defects whenever possible.

STEP SIX And A HALF
Fighting and breaking up….

STEP SIX And THREE-QUARTERS
Getting back together…

STEP SEVEN
More Sex. (Called "I'm Sorry" Sex.)

STEP EIGHT
Made a list of all the things they were doing wrong and became willing to let them know about it.

STEP NINE
Admitted to them, we were always right. Making sure when we did so it would make them feel permanently inadequate.

STEP TEN
Continued to take each others inventory whenever possible, justifying how we were the victim in this relationship.

MOMENT OF CLARITY! ... Taking Action!

STEP ELEVEN
-Asking for help
-Calling your sponsor
-Taking the steps
-Reading and writing
-Complete Housecleaning
-Being Honest
-Making amends
-Trusting in God
-Utilizing prayer
-Helping others
-Being of service

ANOTHER MOMENT OF CLARITY, Then…
-Began admitting when we were wrong and seeing our part 
-Showing love through action (Outside of the bedroom)
-Showing up for the relationship (What a concept)

STEP TWELVE
Having had spiritual reckoning. We realized we needed to forgive and love ourselves… before we could love another….

STEP THIRTEEN
Refer back to Step One…… ( Didn't you learn the first time?!?)
