Thinking the way I used to think got me where I am today ... I, personally, needed a new way of thinking. I, too, overanalyze everything and have a need to understand everything inside,out, and backwards. I had to accept that "my" way wasn't working for me and that perhaps my sponsor's way might be a better solution ... that is why I have her as a sponsor, after all. Keeping things simple has been good advice for me, it has made my chaotic life a lot more pleasant.
