Whatever Anonymous

I was at a meeting the other day, and decided it is about time for someone, maybe me, to bring out "WA" or "Whatever Anonymous"



Twelve Steps

1. We admitted we were powerless over whatever - that our lives had become unmanageable.
   
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
   
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of whatever, as we understood whatever.
   
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
   
5. Admitted to whatever, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
   
6. Were entirely ready to have whatever remove all these defects of character.
   
7. Humbly asked whatever to remove our shortcomings.
   
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became 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 personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
    
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with whatever as we understood whatever, praying only for knowledge of whatevers 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 whateveraholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
    

Twelve Traditions

1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon WA unity.
   
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving whatever as He/She may express whateverself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
   
3. The only requirement for WA membership is a desire to stop whatever.
   
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or WA as a whole.
   
5. Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the whateveraholic who still suffers.
   
6. An WA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the WA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
   
7. Every WA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
   
8. Whateveraholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
   
9. WA, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
   
10. Whateveraholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the WA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
    
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
    
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before WHATEVER!
    

There, it is done, it is a new day.

Don't use, do whatever else.

And be nice.
