Apologies to Alcoholics Anonymous for corrupting their 12 steps.

    Accept

    ...  that the purchase of three boxes of Lemonades was wrong; you should have gotten more S’mores.

    Purchase

    ... a few boxes of Caramel Delites and Peanut Butter Sandwiches to share with your co-workers. Don’t forget a box of gluten-free Trios for the health-conscious colleague down the hall.

    Seek

    ... through the haze of your sugar high, to improve your connection with your local Girl Scout Troop to ensure a steady supply of cookies.

    Rush

    After you crash from your sugar high, rush out to purchase even more boxes, this time making sure to hide some deep in the freezer and labeled for removal in a few months. Because, if a Girl Scout cookie addiction is your biggest problem, is that so bad?
