12. Cleaning addicts..(I just thought of that one) Yes there are people who want their homes so clean and neat and they spend lots of their time just cleaning and neating!! Of course, no one would say that they are addicts unless they are close and observe all of it

That is why there are many kinds of 12 step programs. We are ...addicts.!!!!
