Here are the steps we take which are necessary for recovery:


   1.We admitted we were powerless over clowns, that our lives 
     had become uninteresting.

   2.Believe that a Power greater than ourselves could lead us.

   3.Made a decision to turn our will, our lives and our money over 
     to the care of Gibe.

   4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves,
     and found nothing.

   5.Admitted to ourselves, and to another human being
     the exact nature of their wrongs.

   6.We're entirely ready to have Gibe remove all our money.

   7.Humbly asked Gibe to remove our shortcomings.

   8.Made a list of all clowns we had harmed, and became willing 
     to make amends to them all.

   9.Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, especially 
     when to do so would injure them or others more.

  10.Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong,
     promptly deny it.

  11.Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious 
     contact with Gibe, as we understood Gibe, praying only for 
     knowledge of Gibe's will for us and the power to carry that out.
     (or you could just e-mail me)

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