12 Step reply to "You might be a model railroader...."

[dgwinup]

1. We admit we are powerless over trains — that our lives have become unmanageable and the train schedules hopelessly overdue.

2. Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity (as we understand “sanity”).

3. Make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Great Dispatcher, as we understand Him.

4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and a real inventory of our trains

5. Admi to the Great Dispatcher, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our derailments.

6. We're entirely ready to have the Great Dispatcher (or Bergie) remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly ask the Great Dispatcher to remove our shortcomings and our short circuits.

8. Make a list of all persons we have harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all by getting them started in model railroading.

9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others (don’t buy them brass when plastic will do).

10. Continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admit it. Continue to take a railroad inventory and when we were wrong promptly admit it, even if you don’t believe it.

11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the Great Dispatcher, as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His train orders for us and the class authority to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to other model railroaders, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Peace unto you.

Darrell, peacefully quiet...for now
