We clutterers have found that no amount of willpower can make us stick to a sensible program of organization for any lasting lengthof time. In seeking an answer to our problem, we have instinctively realized that our cluttering is only the outward manifestation of our inner emotional problem.
We feel that the Clutterers Anonymous program, which is patterned after that of Alcoholics Anonymous, has an answer for us. We use the Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. We believe this program works as well for those who have problems with clutter as it does for alcoholics.
Clutterers Anonymous is a spiritual, but not a religious, program. Therefore, we may substitute the words "Higher Power" for the word "God".
We ask that you be open-minded and patient. Take what you like and leave the rest. Proceed at your own pace. Recovery means a new way of thinking and this takes time. Attend meetings, read our literature, take phone numbers of members, and begin using the Steps and the Tools, and you will find the fuller life that we have experienced.
