My own 12 steps
Friday, May 2nd, 2008I know I come across as a sweet innocent little girl from the country {{choking on laughter!!}}
So to those of you who weren’t aware, I’m sorry to shock you like this, but the time has come to fess up!!
My name’s Anonymum and I’m a blogaholic!
Yes, it’s true!!! I can say it now because I need to face the truth about myself. I’m not a recovering blogaholic however, I’m loud and proud of it!
For those of you who need help, I have developed a 12 step paln for you. In order for this to be successful, you need to first admit you have a problem. If you can’t do this, the plan will not work.
So, for your assistance in coping with an addiction of titanic proportions, here we go:
1. I admitted that blogging had taken over my life. {I was powerless to stop it, so i thought fuck it, and just kept going} You may be able to resist but I’m stuffed if I can!
2. I’ve come to believe that a higher power than myself is in control {in my case it’s Wordpress, the theme devil who constantly get in my ear, and an addictive FTP, and I have bugger all chance of beating the 3, so I figured I may as well go to the dark side. Having said that, I’ll admit the CSS devil is hot on my arse too} Again, you may have better luck than me, your will power may be stronger!
3. I’ve made a conscious decision to hand myself over to said higher beings as I understand them {the aforementioned 3 big ones, so in fact by doing what I’ve done in step 2, I have actually achieved Step 3 without even trying! Huge bonus, one less step to worry about}
4. Make a fearless and searching moral inventory of yourself {I did do this step and decided that i was indeed addicted, so I’m hoping this counts as Step 4 done and dusted!!!}
5. Admitted to my higher powers, and to other bloggers, the exact nature of my wrongs {So I’m admitting to you and the theme devil I’ve fucked up now and then. Step 5 done!}
6. Entirely ready to have the higher beings remove all defects of my character {I think my character is fine so I just ignored this this step!}
7. I’ve humbly asked them to remove said defects of character {Now, in spite of not thinking I HAVE any defects of character, I did the right thing and asked anyway. They refused! What’s a blogger to do??}
8. I made a list of all the people I’ve harmed in the process of blogging and had a good look at it, with the intention of making amends {I then decided every last one of them were either fucktards, morons, idiots or simply didn’t count, so, again, I ignored this step!}
9. I tried to make amends {See Step 8…they don’t deserve to have amends made so I ignored this step too!!}
10.I’ve continued to try looking inside myself to make sure I wasn’t deteriorating into bad habits, and to ensure I admitted when I was wrong after all this cleansing {Wrong?? What is this word?? When was that invented?? I just KNOW it wasn’t meant for me!!}
11. I’ve tried and tried to ask for strength in order to control the blogging urge {The words refuse to come out of my mouth. I gag on them!!}
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, I’ve tried to carry this message to blogaholics, and to practice these principles in all things blogging {I’m not sure I’m having a lot of luck though!}
My concern is all I’ve done is encourage you to blog????
Shit I hope so!!
