38. Arachnoholics Anonymous Charles Gibson
40. 8-Step Program 1. We admitted we were powerless over arachnids.
41. 8-Step Program 2. Came to understand that learning about arachnids can restore us to our sanity.
42. 8-Step Program 3. Made a list of all the arachnids we have harmed, and recognize how they were helpful to our environment.
43. 8-Step Program 4. Admitted to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
44. 8-Step Program 5. Made direct amends to the arachnids wherever possible.
45. 8-Step Program 6. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
46. 8-Step Program 7. Sought to improve our contact with arachnids, for our knowledge of them will give us the power to carry that out.
47. 8-Step Program 8. Having had an awakening as the result of these steps, we carry this message to our friends and practice these principles in all our affairs.
