12-steps (Keep Reading)

My friend has problems saying No.

She has officially hired me to A. Teach her how to say no, and B. Teach her how to be mean. I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that it is ME teaching her these things.

Anyways...

Step 1: Admit that you have a problem. CHECK

Step 2: Hand yourself over to a hire power. CHECK (It's me, in this case, temporarily anyways)

Step 3: Recognize where you have gone wrong and make amends... erm... lets try this again. Recognize what to say no to and what to say yes to... We're working on it

Step 4: Recognize when to be rude, short, cold etc, and when to be polite and kind... Working on it

Step 5: Say no to everything for a day... Lets just say it's still a goal

Step 6: Relax, AND STOP CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK. This Might take a while

Step 7: Consider your motives. If they turn out to be unsound... head back to step 1.

Step 8: Consider your judgement calls; when tested say no to the correct problems and yes to the correct problems, be rude when needed, and polite when necessary.

Step 9: TEST TIME

Step 10: Dwell and think about you reasons for doing the 12 step program, then, write down your reasons, and recognize WHY you are doing this. Understand why this needs to be done, and how you are harming yourself more than others by never saying no.

Step 11: Skip school and walk around saying no to random people. (Hint Hint, Say no to this)

Step 12: Once it is determined you can say no and be mean, you can graduate the 12 step program. However, if you are not ready by step 12, you can begin a more extensive 12 step program. Of my creation. It involves weed whackers.
