A Progressive 12-step Program?

I'm still not over the election. And yet I realize that this cycle of grief (anger, sadness, confusion, despair, you name it) I'm in isn't helping anyone. If you also feel that it's time to move on, Alternet's Bob Burnett offers an exit strategy: "To escape from our abusive relationship with the Bushies, progressives will have to engage in all the classic steps of recovery: admitting our wrongs, seeking the aid of our higher power (democracy) in overcoming these, reclaiming true democratic values, and making amends."
