Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Simplicity and greatness go together.
-- Monty Cralley
We have probably heard the phrase Keep It Simple thousands of times. It's possible we are mystified by it, even yet. So many things in life have seemed complicated: getting an education, starting a new job, advising children and friends. Not many things can be pursued without careful consideration. When we have approached situations carelessly, we have often blundered badly.
Keeping it simple means doing only the next right thing, not a sequence of fourteen things all at once. To keep something simple means to focus on only a tiny bit of the problem at a time. If we employ a little hindsight, we'll quickly recall how many situations began to improve as we attended to just a portion of them.
God never gives us more than we can handle. How many times have we heard that? It means we'll always be shown the way to handle something little by little, very simply, in exactly the order we need the information. Don't we see this is how it has always been? Why would it change now?
Today I need to listen. I don't need to figure out all my problems at once.

When I came to the program I was able to maybe hear 2 words out of every sentence, I did not speak more than my name and disease the first year. But it was not simple for me. My life had become so complicated that I saw no light at the end of the tunnel. I keep coming back at first because I had no where else to go. Once again lost it all. Came in with a pink duffle bag (still have it) and today learning how to keep it simple after many many years.
If this is a hard concept for you to do or understand that is ok also, as I feel sometimes the harder and slower it is the better some of us get it or need it.
And keeping it simple as our author has written for us is one thing at a time, sometimes one minute at a time. Very very good post. Thank you
