"Easy does it" is a real bear for me, that got to do it all NOW, that perfectionism is an ongoing battle for me, I am doing better, but have so far to go. I find life so much easier when I accept that I can not do it perfectly and in many cases I can not do it all, I need to take things at a pace that allow me to live life, otherwise, like alcohol did, other things can take over my life.

I throw complexity into things that are easy, I did that when I was working the steps, my sponsor would always remind me to stop making easy things hard, to only read what was written and not inject stuff between the lines. "Keep it simple". another way of saying "Easy does it"!

I am so thankful it say "Progress, not perfection" or I might still be drunk today!
