Another Way to Explain the 12 Steps to a Newcomer


Step 1. I had an old clunker parked in the driveway. I
had just about given up on it, but decided to make a
whole hearted attempt to restore it.

Step 2. I couldn't fix it, but I came to believe someone could.

Step 3. I turned the car over to a mechanic.

Step 4. I took the inventory of all that was wrong with the old clunker.

Step 5. I shared the inventory with the mechanic.

Step 6. I helped take off the old parts.

Step 7. I let the mechanic handle the rest.

Step 8. We made a list of all the parts that we needed, and got
together and went over them.

Step 9. I admitted I hadn't checked the oil and fluids properly or fixed
the other things that were going wrong. It was my responsibility to
take care fo the car and I had not. I wanted to help, but being unfamiliar
withe process, I allowed the mechanic to fix things.
The car turned out beautifully!

Step 10. I checked the oil, fluids regularly, and when I didn't
the engine didn't hummmmmm.

Step 11. I called on the mechanic whenever there was trouble,
asking him to fix the car.

Step 12. The mechanic and I had become such close friends....
we decided to take a trip across the country, and stopped to
help all that needed help along the way. <!--
