I'm Jinxed.... This is my 12 Step Program with Unjeeenx, God of Unjinxing

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm an Alcoh Jinxed.

The second I start rooting for a team, 

they crash and burn. 

It's not a slow downfall, it is like the great crash of 29 downfall. 

Proof is in the pudding:

Tennessee Vols Football: Not a fan prior to 2004 when I started attending college...

Then they plummeted.

Ok, how about that time I moved to Dallas right at the end of the Texas Rangers season? 

Oh right, went from best record in baseball to NOT EVEN MAKING THE PLAYOFFS.

Oh and there was that time that I wrote THIS post about Josh Hamilton and his incredible season and then he proceeded to slip into the biggest hitting slump of his career. 

I can't even begin to count the number of times I have said, "Well, looks like they got this won!"

Followed by complete and utter meltdown with seconds left in the game. (Celtics -- playoffs 2012)

So this is now an open prayer to Unjeeenx

God of all unjinxing

 I'm sure you are reading, I bet you read every day (obvi)

 Please unjinx me.

So here I am, admitting I have a problem and that is the first step right?

I'm gonna go ahead and knock out the other 11 steps right now...

Just to be sure you understand I'm serious.

1. I admitted I was powerless over jinxing, that my life has become totally jinxable

2. I have come to believe that only a power greater than myself can restore my unjixing-ness

3. I have made a decision to turn my will and my jinxing over to the care of Unjeenx, as I understand

4. I have made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself (not sure what this means but yes)

5. I have admitted to Unjeeenx, to myself and to another human being (bloggers everywhere) the exact nature of my jinxing

6. I am ready to have God remove all these defects of character (just jinxing, good everywhere else)

7. Humbly asked Unjeeenx to remove my short-jinxings

8. Made a list of all persons I have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all
