12 Steps for Model Horse Addicts

THE TWELVE STEPS

OF MODEL HORSE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS

1. We admit that we are powerless over plastic ponies - that our lives and spending habits are unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. We also made clear that it was not a horse-shaped deity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will, our lives, and our Paypal accounts over to the care of God as we understood Him. No, not Epona, not Demeter, not the Uffington White Horse... God. 
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory. Unfortunaly, came up with such things as "152 Classics, 290 Traditionals, 3 Eberl resins, and a Jellibaby".
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, to our dealers and to another human being the exact of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Unfortunately, some asked that He specify to others whether they were LSQ, PSQ, shelf or body quality, and whether they had NAN cards.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings, and also the parts of our character that were in mint condition.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Many had trouble with this as they didn't know the names or identities of all those people in the Ninja Pit of Death/Doom.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. For this reason, the NPOD was avoided at all costs.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong or a little to close to Tractor Supply Co. for comfort, promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our concious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Had to stop one or two for asking for the going price of Alborozo on eBay.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Model Horse Addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. However, some wayward patients attempted to carry the message, but instead became distracted by their friend's newly acquired Sue Kern piece.
