The 12 Steps to Benchism (1-6)
 
1

We admitted we have an interest in benches - that our Benchism was burgeoning.


2 Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves was leading us into Benchism.

3 Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Supreme Benchmaker as we understood Him.

4 Made a searching and fearless inventory of our cameras, lenses and accessories.

5 Admitted to the Supreme Benchmaker, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our Benchist tendencies.

6 Were entirely ready to have the Supreme Benchmaker instill within us the desire to find and record benches where ever they may be.

7 Humbly asked the Supreme Benchmaker to guide our Benchism.

8 Made a list of all persons we knew who possessed a bench, and became willing to approach them all.

9 Made direct contact with such people wherever possible, except when to do so would invade their privacy or right to enjoy their bench unhindered.

10 Continued to take personal inventory of our bench images and share them.

11 Sought, through Internet sources, maps, etc., to improve our consciousness, regarding benches, seeking knowledge of their whereabouts and recording them.

12 Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Benchists, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
