The 12 Steps of Warmoholics Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over Warmoth - that our lives had become unmanageable because of a lack of finances, space, and/or tolerance.
2. Came to believe that a power tool greater than ourselves could restore us to incredibly low action and unbelievably high sustain.
3. Made a decision to turn our secret guitars and parts over to the care of a good friend whose wife never goes in the basement.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our parts drawer, garage, and secret hiding places.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being that we really prefer gold hardware to chrome.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects on our early builds.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our budgetary-, space-, and/or relationship-based constraints.
8. Made a list of all persons we had sold Warmoth gear to, and became willing to buy back every bit of it from them all.
9. Made direct offers to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would alert our wives or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly bought more stuff from Warmoth.
11. Sought through fretwork and finish applications to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for accelerated price reductions in the Showcase and the power to tell our wives about that guitar under the bed so we could play it while she's at home.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to get other people to buy lots of Warmoths so we could tell ourselves we don't have a problem and to practice saying "I've had that guitar for years..." enough that it doesn't sound like the bald-faced lie it is.
