The Anti-12 Steps of Ex-offender Reentry Anonymous (R.A.)
(We admitted we were powerless over our criminal addictions, and that our lives had become unmanageable.) (Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.) (Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him.) (Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.) (Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.) (Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.) (Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.) (Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.) (Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.) (Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.) (Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.) (Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.)

1. I declared that I have total control over breaking the law use and that I can completely manage my life and still get away with crimes.
2. Came to know that I need no one and that breaking the law helps me maintain my happiness and sanity.
3. Made a decision to harness the benefits (as I understand them) of any crime I want to commit.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of all others.
5. Admitted to no one, including myself, any of my wrongs, no matter how evident.
6. I became entirely ready to defend, excuse, and justify my actions, using personal attacks on others (if necessary), and to minimize any mistake I make.
7. Boldly declare that I have no shortcomings (while secretly believing that anything bad I ever did could not be forgiven).
8. Made a list of all persons that had (or that I thought had) harmed me and searched for opportunities to collect on those debts.
9. Collected whatever I felt that I was owed whenever possible, regardless of the fact that doing so may cause injury or harm to someone else.
10. Continued to take an inventory of others’ wrongs against me and promptly collected on them when possible.
11. Sought through experimentation, expert opinions, partying, and the advice of my law ignoring friends, a better, punishment free crime. I search only for more knowledge of how and what is fun and profitable to do, and the means to do so without consequences.
12. Having an enjoyable experience from not getting caught, I tried to carry this message to other suffering law fearing people to lead them to practice these principles in all their affairs with me.
