The 12 Steps
1. Admit that you are powerless over your compulsive behaviour with Pentax -
that your lives had become unmanageable.
2. Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves (SO or Bank Manager)
could restore you to sanity.
3. Make a decision to turn your will and our lives over to the care of
SO/Bank Manager
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of Pentax collection
5. Admit to your SO/Bank Manager, to ourselves and to the PDML the exact
nature of our wrongs. (eg Why do you need 3 x 135 2.8's?)
6. Become entirely ready to have SO/Bank Manager remove all these excesses.
7. Humbly ask SO/Bank Manager to remove your shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all persons you have harmed on Ebay and become willing to
make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so
would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take a Pentax inventory.
11. Seek through photography to improve your art, not your Pentax
collection.
12. Having had an awakening as the result of these steps, carry this message
to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
One day at a time.
