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!

Oh that was just what I needed.. thank you. :ghug

You are absolutely right. While I'm in my head stressing about progressing I'm at a standstill.
