One of my favorite things used to be picking stuff apart. I'd ask why over and over and over.

My sponsor always nailed me on that one and said it wasn't the 'why' that was important, but rather 'what am I going to do about it at this moment'. I could figure out the why later if it was that important (which it usually ended up not being).

I saw a phrase here recently at SR that really struck me-analysis paralysis. That is exactly what I used to do!

As long as I was in my head trying to analyze things, I didn't have to take action!

I understand it's not easy. There are a lot of things in life that are not easy, and have nothing to do with alcoholism either!
