Wealth & Power 
Assets or Addictions?

The Addicted Corporation's 12 Steps to Recovery

1. We admit that our corporation is powerless over its addiction to wealth & power, and that our grandchildren's quality of life and the planet's quality of  life are in danger.

2. We no longer think of our corporation as a separate entity from ourselves.

3. We believe that our higher powers can restore us to health and sanity.

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory our actions in the name of our corporation.

5. We admit to ourselves, to our employees, and the general public, the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. We are entirely ready to remove all these defects of character.

7. We humbly ask  a Higher Power to help us remove our shortcomings.

8. We have made a list of all employees and other consumers we have harmed, and are willing to make amends to them all.

9. We have made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. We are continuing to take a personal inventory, and when we are wrong we promptly admit it.

11. We seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our higher powers, praying for the power to carry out our recovery.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we carry this message to other corporations and intend to practice these principles in all our affairs.
