Baby Steps

Why 12 steps? I mean, why couldn't there be a 20-step program? Okay, maybe that's a bit much, by the end you'd have forgotten why you were there in the first place. But why not a 10-step program, or a 5-step, or a 3-step program for people with ADD? I'd like to start a 12-step program for folks addicted to 12-step programs. It would start as a 12-step program, but the facilitator would announce at the end of the first session that the idea is to gradually cut back. How about a one-step program? Like, say, for chocoholics? Step One: "Put down that chocolate bar! Done."
