For those of us suffering from muzzle loading addiction, I recommend Cayugad's Twelve Step Program.
Step 1 - State firmly at every opportunity - "I have enough guns."
Step 2 - Buy a gun.
Step 3 - Post pictures of gun and shooting results.
Step 4 - State firmly at every opportunity - "I do not need another gun."
Step 5 - Buy a gun.
Step 6 - Post pictures of gun and shooting results.
Steps 7 through 12 - (Repeat steps 1 through 6.) This program may be repeated as many times as necessary as it takes to acquire a KRB.

[/align]A
twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles for recovery from
addiction,
compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from
alcoholism,
[1] the Twelve Steps were first published in the book,
Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939.
[2] The method was then adapted, and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as
Narcotics Anonymous,
Overeaters Anonymous,
Co-Dependents Anonymous and
Debtors Anonymous. The process of twelve-step recovery has been characterized by
Dr. Bob - one of AA's co-founders - as "Trust God, clean house, help others".
[3] As summarized by the
American Psychological Association, the process involves the following:
[1]
[ul][*]admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion;[*]recognizing a greater power that can give strength;[*]examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member);[*]making amends for these errors;[*]learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior;[*]helping others that suffer from the same addictions or compulsions. [/ul]
[/align]Cayugad put true meaning to the last step, by helping us overcome our addiction or compulsion.
