Blast From The Past: 12 Step Program for Robaholics
Maria first posted this brilliant creation back on 28 August 2009 & I Â know how much all of us who were here at RPAU at the time loved it. Â Thought I’d share again today for us to enjoy once more & also for those who missed it the first time around. Â Over to Maria *giggles* – I LOVE this so much.
Here is my 12 step program for those of us addicted to Robert Pattinson because I’m sure most of us are happy to remain that way:
Step1 : We admit that we are powerless over the need to see Rob on a daily basis and that our lives had become unmanageable.
 Step 2: Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves – um that would be Rob – could restore us to sanity.
Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to Rob.
 Step 4: Made a searching of the internet to find every bit of information or picture of Rob possibly available.
Step 5: Admitted to ourselves and to other human beings, especially on RPAU site, Â the exact nature of our addiction (albeit sometimes with a little “too much information”).
Step 6: Were entirely ready to remove all these defects and by this I mean the watermarks on some of his photos, since Rob is perfect (well he’s not but that’s what we love about him).
Step 7: Humbly asked Rob to accept our shortcomings (not that we have any, but just in case).
Step 8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed & became willing to make amends to them all  ie. our friends and family who didn’t see us for days on end while Rob was filming Remember Me.
 Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, of course until Rob turned up at Comic-Con and Teen Choice Awards, then its back to making that list again.
Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it – ah yes, that’s right – it’s Rob at Collectormania in 2006 not Comic-Con – lol.
 
Step 11: Sought through prayer & meditation to improve our conscious contact with Rob, praying only for knowledge of his whereabouts while filming Eclipse or maybe some more outtakes.
 Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we carry this message to Robaholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Okay anyone willing to be my sponsor?

Just the thought that there was a need for a 12 Step Robaholic Program, way back in August 2009 ……. and the need remains to this day …… don’t tell me I’ve been missing weekly meetings all this time! Is there a Rob mantra I should be saying every morning and night?
