Remember that we deal with compulsive TV viewing - cunning, baffling, powerful! Without help it is too much for us. Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely. With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start. We thought we could find an easier, softer way. If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it - then you are ready to take certain steps.Īt some of these we balked. Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now. There are those, too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. They are not at fault they seem to have been born that way. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. My only adaptations were changing references to alcohol to "compulsive TV viewing," and changing the masculine references to God ("Him") to "God." These are the same adaptations that other 12-Step groups have made to create a version of the Steps for themselves. The text before and after the steps themselves is also from Alcoholics Anonymous in many groups, it is read along with the steps. This is adapted from the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which you can read in Chapter 5 of Alcoholics Anonymous.
