  1.. We admitted we were powerless over geocaching - that our lives had
become unmanageable.
  2.. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us
to sanity.
  3.. Decided to turn our will and our lives over to the care of
AzGeocaching.com as we understood them.
  4.. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our own caches.
  5.. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another fellow geocacher the
exact nature of our wrongs.
  6.. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
and senseless virtual caches.
  7.. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings and no finds.
  8.. Made a list of all caches we have found and became willing to not look
at the numbers, but only the experiences.
  9.. Made direct amends about caches found only for a number count wherever
possible, except when to do so would drop my position in the Arizona
standings on AzGeocaching.com.
  10.. Continued to post all caches found and when we didn't find one,
promptly admitted it.
  11.. Sought through prayer and meditation  to improve our caching
abilities without addictive behavior, praying only for knowledge of how to
solve the tough ones and the power to carry that out.
  12.. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we
tried to carry this message to geocachers, and to practice these principles
in all our affairs.
