12 steps to incomplete recovery.
Step 1. We admitted that we were powerless against aquariums, and that our lives have become unmanageable against the urge to buy "that fish".
Step 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will, life, and aquaria, over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Step 4. Made a searching and fearless visit to Saltwaterfish.com, and proclaimed that we had a problem.
Step 5. Admitted to God, ourselves, and our family, the exact nature of our wrongs (buying fish or corals over food for our children).
Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these desires to overpopulate our aquarium.
Step 7. Humbly asked Him to remove the urge to install a 2 thousand dollar lighting and sump/refugium set up.
Step 8. Made a list of all persons and live fish store owners that we have harmed with bodily injury, because they gave us the wrong advice.
Step 9. Made a direct ammends to such people wherever possible, except if they offer us more bad advice, and then we injure them some more.
Step 10. Continued to take inventory of our aquarium stock, and when we kill a fish or other creature, we admit our wrong on SWF.com.
Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our aquaria, as we feed them, praying for knowledge of God's will for us and our obsession with this fricking hobby.
Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other obsessed aquariasts, and to practice these principals in all of our marine affairs.
