Addicted! 12-Steps of Teardroppers Anonymous

Hey Gang,

Just doodling around, posted these in the newbie area after someone mentioned being 'addicted' to teardrops! Decided to post them here, too!

There is help! Through Teardroppers (and tiny trailers) Anonymous


12 Steps of Teardroppers Anonymous

1) Admitted I was powerless over my teardrop build and my life had become unmanageable.

2) Came to believe a power greater than myself (the teardrop and tiny trailer website) could return me to sanity.

3) Turned my will and my life over to building my teardrop, as I understood it.

4) Took a fearless and moral inventory of all my mistakes, mis-cut wood, un-squared corners, while building my teardrop.

5) Confided to at least one other teardrop builder the nature of these wrongs.

6) Became entirely ready to let the teardrop group members help me correct these mistakes on my teardrop build.

7) Humbly posted request for step-by-step instructions, with pictures, to the group.

8.) Made a list of all the RV building materials I still needed to buy (More wood, miter saw, power converter, fantastic vent fan, harbor freight trailer…)

9) Made a sincere effort to order all these parts, except when to do so overdrew my bank account.

10) Continued to take personal inventory of my teardrop build, and when I made a simple carpentry error, promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and meditation to keep my cool, when I had to redo my floor frame for the third time, because I still did not have it right.

12) Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of my teardrop build, sought to help other poor teardrop addicts like myself.

Submitted, with all due respect, to all of my fellow friends of Bill W. out there in teardrop land.

Great post.

I have completed all 12 steps, so now I can start drinking heavily!

I wonder how many 12 step programs I can do at the same time?

I, too, have completed all 12 steps...it doesn't seem to help.

Could it be that tear drops are more addictive than other vices. Do we need more steps. Possibly dealing with second, third or even more builds. Ed

Well see there is no cure for teardroppalitisbuildatearorus. There is only treatment and you have left out the most important treatment for the group as a whole.



The order isn't as important as the

Except when you run out of money before you run out of build.

You forgot the most important step- "Repeat as necessary." I've seen a number of people on here who have built more than one TD. Tear drops are like children and pancakes. The first one or two usually come out so great, so you have to keep trying.
