EPLAYA TWELVE STEP PROGRAM

cowboyangel · Post by **cowboyangel** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 8:41 pm

We Have a bar. We have plenty of addicts. Here's your chance to process your plight in a safe, annonymous nearly place. Welcome. Bring your friends. And bring your shares!

The Twelve Steps For Eplaya Addiction

1. We admitted we were powerless over eplaya, that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity… ( no not you Rob).
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Goddess as we understood her.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves (reward is a drink)
5. Admitted to Goddess, to ourselves, and to another human being (no cats) the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have Goddess (or Lydia) remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked “Her” to whip away our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all eplaya and other persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them ALL.
9. Made direct amends to such people (even socks) wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer, bribery, meditation, flattery, Burningman tickets, to improve our conscious contact with the Goddess as we understood Her, preying only for knowledge of Her will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other eplaya addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. (Does not mean sexual affairs)

I'm stuck on number 8 Cowboy. If we can't get them to accept our apology, may we move on, or do we have to keep begging?

You must work ALL the steps to be successful at the program. It's ok to skip a few while you struggle with it. But the steps are pretty much crafted to be done in order..it's evolutionary sort of... Keep trying the results are incredible!
( we may have a serious drop off of eplaya visitors.....)

Number 11, preying?

cowboyangel · Post by **cowboyangel** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 9:05 pm

yes preying...not praying

I confess. This place has been on my mind too much lately.

I'm having trouble with this one, but I sure hope I'm wrong.

cowboyangel wrote: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Goddess as we understood her.

Is it possible for a male to understand a goddess?

cowboyangel wrote: 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves (reward is a drink)

I do this all the time. Do I get multiple rewards now?

cowboyangel wrote: 5. Admitted to Goddess, to ourselves, and to another human being (no cats) the exact nature of our wrongs.

I can admit that. I'll admit it right now. Everyone listen: I may be a knucklehead for more than 51% of the time, but if I like you (and you're a hot chick) I'll do anything you want for the remaining 49).

cowboyangel wrote: 6. Were entirely ready to have Goddess (or Lydia) remove all these defects of character.

Please Lydia, help me.

cowboyangel wrote: 7. Humbly asked “Her” to whip away our shortcomings.

I've been trying to do this ever since I saw her avatar.

cowboyangel wrote: 8. Made a list of all eplaya and other persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them ALL.

This could take a while.

cowboyangel wrote: 9. Made direct amends to such people (even socks) wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Badger, I was a dickhead. I mean it, I am sorry.

cowboyangel wrote: 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

I'm below the poverty level emotionally, but I have a bank account and I am serioulsy saving up. Lay it out for me. And when I get a good savings up you're welcome to help me spend it. (Hmm, that sounds like something after a certain elected official.

I'm working on this. I'm hoping I'll eventually have something awesome to hand out. Hopefully soon. I am going to try to emulate the DallasPlaya.

I can't wait for this fulfillment to be attained.

Thank you Cowboy, I'm beginning to feel better already. I'll be over at the bar. =)

Hi, my name is gigglesnort, and I am an eplaya addict. I pledge not to visit the eplaya during regular working hours this week, not even lunch time, or in the morning before I log onto my job, because I am powerless in the face of my addiction. Thank you for your support.

Well, I mean, where's the fuckin support, anyway? How am I supposed to get any work done with all these voices in my head asking me questions? I distinctly remember asking (in the bar, no time to look up quotes goddammit) for you eplayans to blow spit wads at me if you caught me sneaking around in here. Well? NOT ONE FUCKIN SPIT WAD. Now leave me alone.

Thank you for your support.

Now now Miss Snort, you've been on the eplaya long enough to know that if someone is going to blow a wad at you here chances are that it will contain little to no spit.

Cowboyangel...I think an intervention is in order..gigglesnort is obviously in the throes of eplaya addiction.

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 2:56 pm

a Power greater than ourselves

highly unlikely, that

turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Goddess

take responsibility, do not cede it.

remove all these defects of character

I like me the way I am

whip away

not at all down with the angry, violent god concept

willing to make amends to them ALL

only if they go first

when we were wrong

this is somewhat presumptuous

Her will for us

see above

cowboyangel · Post by **cowboyangel** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 4:02 pm

goddess is knocking on your door stuart...even sceptics are welcome

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 4:08 pm

knocking on your door

clearly she is not omniscient because she did not notice the no soliciting sign

So Mr. Angel, It would seem you are looking for some form of redemption by attempting to save the souls of your fellow e-playans once again. First with the neo-religion of sports, then with the collar and priestly impersonations, and now with the righteous 12 step group leader.
All these exhibited personalities would seem to put you in the position of leading the way your banner held high.
In your dreams do you often appear in the role of a messianic leader, or say, the head of a movement, how about a revolutionary,.....

( This is "deflection" it suggests you have a problem so the focus on my addiction will no longer be the issue)

i think CA's addicted to cross posting and to trying to 'save' us by harassment.

Hi I'm Kristy Kreme and it looks like it's my day to admit I'm addicted, not only to eplaya but to sex and adrenaline as well.

Being a redhead means that there is a hot temper and firey passion burning in your soul everyday. I have used some of my stimulents for 4 years now and I'm not sure, when or if I will ever give them up.

I'm happy and everyone I come in contact with seems to leave with a glow.

Thank you! Kristy Kreme

So I show up and the meetings over, darn I wanted to corrupt someone!
