We gather at Conventions, online to chat and E-mail, to follow
his career, to learn more about him, to adore him.

Some people may be shocked and find it hard to accept that their lives revolve around this
addicting man. Therefore we offer the following 12-step program (adapted just a little)
to help those who want to conquer their addiction.
1. We admitted we were powerless over our Adrian obsession -- that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that turning off the TV and our computer could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our obsession into something good.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our obsession (and realized it was hopeless!).
5. Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our obsession and that it was wrong.
6. Were entirely ready to have help to remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked friends and family to help us stop this addiction!
8. Made a list of all persons we had sent FRUs to and promised never to do it again.
9. Made direct amends to friends/family that we ignored or threatened while watching Highlander/Adrian.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we are tempted to just sneak a peek, promptly admit it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with normal non-Adrian life and the power to carry that out. (Can this be done?)
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other Adrianoholics and help them with their obsessions.

Even after finding out your true Adrian diagnosis, you may find it hard to explain to family and friends. Don't worry...we all have gone through the same thing.
They'll get used to it...eventually.
