V and R

and

Richard and Tracy K

addiction recovery

the
GetAFuckingSponsor.org
and
TheAddictedPlanet.com

would have been
impossible for me
to create

Thanks guys!

I am
eternally grateful to
my first sponsor
(rest in peace)

for sharing his
experience
strength
hope
knowledge
and
wisdom

and

for guiding
me through
my first time through
the traditional 12 Steps

A little birdie
told me
you’re chasing after
hot young
angels again.

Thanks Felix P!

Thank you
Indian Hills Community Center
for the punny funs

I am ever-so-grateful
to the
taxpayers
and
donors
who funded the

Pine Street
Old Rehab boot camp in
Fort Worth Texas
where I got my indoctrination
in how to be a
recovering addict

and the

truly caring
well-trained professional
shrinks
counselors
techs
staff
and
everyone
and
everything else

who removed just enough
but not too many
bats from my belfry

Thanks MHMRTC!

I am grateful to
clinical psychologist
Stacy B
whose
Alice Miller recommendation
taught me
what I needed to
know about
Momma Trauma
and
the root cause of
my addiction

Thanks Stacy!

Thank you
Helen Fisher
for informing me
why we love
and
why we cheat

Thanks Helen!

Special thanks to

smartest lizard

Without my
current sponsor’s
courage
wisdom
and

neither

nor

would exist

dear olde English prof

William S Kilborne

protest
too much
methinks

but place her dutifully
in my Writing Guide
anyhoo

Thanks to
James Gregory

laugh
great big belly
laughs

Thanks to
Scotty Kilmer
for keeping my
hooptie running as
smooth as a

Were it not for the
genius
and
simplicity of the
Alcoholics Anonymous
and
Narcotics Anonymous
programs

and

for the
psychopathic nature of
my Big Sister

worms and bugs
would be
feasting on my
corpulent remains
right now

Thanks guys!

Thanks to Dr. C
and
everyone else at
The Mission

for their
mighty struggle to
keep me vertical
and
in one piece

long enough to finish
GetAFuckingSponsor.org

Thanks guys!

During my first
three-and-a-half-year
slog through
the traditional 12 Steps

I made direct amends
to the people I harmed
during the time
I spent as a
suffering addict

Although I devoted
an entire year’s work on

Traditional Step 8
Made a list of
all persons
we had harmed
and became willing to
make amends to
them all

and

Traditional Step 9
We made amends to
the people
we had harmed
except when to do so
would injure them
or others

during my first time
I worked through
the traditional 12 Steps

I never
really felt that
I had gotten my
karma all set straight

After completing
this third slog
through the
traditional 12 Steps
and
publishing the results on
GetAFuckingSponsor.org

I now feel that my
karmic energy is
finally balanced with
the universe

I feel much better now
and
I hope the people I
harmed feel peaceful too

I know that
what I did was wrong
and
I hope you agree that
what I’ve now done
finally makes it right

Thanks for your
patience guys!

I am
ever-so grateful for
Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies Treats™
crispy marshmallow squares
and that
I can pee standing up

Thank you God!

Thank you
Michelangelo
for creating God

THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS
FORGIVE THOSE WHO HARMED YOU

AND THAT’S THE TRUTH
