A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems.

1. We admitted we were powerless over the computer, and that our lives have become unmanageable.
Principles - Honesty and Acceptance

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Principle - Hope

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God.
Principle - Faith

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Principles - Action and Courage

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Principle - Integrity

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Principle - Willingness

7. Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
Principle - Humility

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Principle - Brotherly love

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Principle - Justice

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Principle - Perseverance

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of Gods will for us and the power to carry that out.

Principle - Service

I am addicted to the mouse. There, I have stated my stupid addiction! Once my hand touches it, I can't remove my hand for a long time. Nobody knows cos I always put myself as appear offline on msn...sigh...I don't even do anything useful online & this addiction is taking too much time especially since I need to discipline myself to study for the last leg of the race before I graduate. How can I be in school right now & still be on the computer slacking?? Get off, girl.
