Sapling/Fred: As one who often misses the distinction between "simple" and "easy" - thank you for the reminder that it's ok for this to be hard; we don't have to beat ourselves up when we struggle with a "simple" task. It's NOT easy.
Forabetterlife, a recovered alcoholic told me recently not to trouble myself with the why's and the should's - it's a dead end. We drink because we have an obsession with alcohol. That's it. Simple and hard!
