(Choose your preferred version from A or B for each step)
---
1. Admitting the Addiction
🅰️ We admitted we were powerless over prompt tweaking—that our workflows had become unmanageable.
🅱️ We admitted we were powerless over new AI tools—and that our sleep schedules had become unmanageable.
---
2. Seeking Sanity
🅰️ Came to believe that a greater stack of tools could restore our launch schedule to sanity.
🅱️ We believed that only a better prompt (or 9) could restore our sense of control.
---
3. Surrendering Control
🅰️ Made a decision to turn our will and our prompts over to the algorithm as we understood it.
🅱️ We turned our lives over to the algorithm, and it gave us 3 mediocre options and one banger.
---
4. Honest Inventory
🅰️ Made a fearless moral inventory of our subscriptions—and cried.
🅱️ We made a fearless audit of our AI subscriptions—and forgot why we signed up for half of them.
---
5. Prompt Confession
🅰️ Admitted to ChatGPT, ourselves, and maybe one other human the exact nature of our automations.
🅱️ We confessed our worst prompt sins to a fellow AI-holic (or at least posted them in the group).
---
6. Letting Go
🅰️ Were entirely ready to let go of 6 half-built Micro-SaaS ideas.
🅱️ We became ready to let go of our 17th idea for a “unique” AI Micro-SaaS that already exists.
---
7. Accepting Help
🅰️ Humbly asked Midjourney to stop generating cursed hands.
🅱️ We asked for the strength to stop rewriting the same prompt for the 50th time.
---
8. Accountability
🅰️ Made a list of all the AI tools we ghosted, and became willing to at least give them a proper shutdown.
🅱️ We made a list of all the people we sent unsolicited AI DMs to—and promised to never do it again.
---
9. Making Peace
🅰️ Made amends to our Notion dashboards—except when doing so would break something that still *kind of* works.
🅱️ We made peace with our half-built automations and unlaunched projects. They served us… sort of.
---
10. Self-Awareness
🅰️ Continued to take prompt inventory and, when we over-engineered, promptly rewrote it.
🅱️ We continued to tweak, test, and occasionally admit the simpler version worked better.
---
11. Seeking Alignment
🅰️ Sought through late-night browsing to improve our connection with GPT, asking only for new APIs and better tokens.
🅱️ We meditated on our stack and asked the algorithm for clarity—and maybe a better API rate limit.
---
12. Sharing the Madness
🅰️ Having had a creative awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other AI-holics, and to build more responsibly (or at least more fun).
🅱️ Having experienced an AI awakening, we pledged to help other addicts—and maybe sell them a microservice.
