1.We admitted we were powerless over baccy buying disorder - that our lives had become unmanageable(and fun).
2.Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves(usually our significant other) could restore us to sanity(or drive us insane).
3.Made a decision to turn our will and our credit cards over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4.Made a searching and fearless inventory of baccy stash.
5.Admitted to God, to ourselves and to pipesmagazine.com the exact nature of our wrongs.
6.Were entirely ready to smoke all our baccy.
7.Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings and to extend our credit limits.
8.Made a list of all baccy we have acquired , and became willing to make smoke them all.
9.Made direct amends to our financial resolve wherever possible, except when to do so would threaten or injure our ability to purchase more baccy.
10.Continued to take personal inventory of our stash and when we were running low promptly reordered.
11.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 purchase more baccy.
12.Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to TAD sufferers and to practice these principles in all our affairs and smoke a good bowl always!!!

Not to suck the humor out of this, but every f'n one of my hobbies that has an internet group, has identified the exact same condition. It's that hunter-gatherer-survival gene kicking in. In days of yore it served us well: The guy with enough stash survived the lean times, the others perished. And it's why I have 3 safes full of old Russian rifles, enough brewing gear to supply my own Hofbräuhaus, a sufficient quantity of soapmaking stuff to cleanse every homeless person in the nation, and...and....and....

Woodsroad, may i suggest you appear on the new tv show called "Tobacco Preppers" a show that combines tobacco hoarding and doomsday prepping. Of course I would have to "inspect" all your relevant stashes and confiscate those materials deemed "inappropriate".....by me =)

Wonderful! I've printed these and posted them directly above my stash. Wish I'd thought of them myself, but don't worry, someday I will claim that I did. :idea:
