If there's a harder way of doing something, someone will find it. - Ralph E. Ross
When we used alcohol or other drugs, we did most things the hard way. We could turn a simple task into a day-long project. We could turn a simple problem into an argument. We were creative giants in doing things the hard way!
We need to change this. We deserve easier lives. It's okay to take the smooth road. In our program, we have slogans for this: Keep It Simple, Let Go and Let God, First Things First, and Easy Does It. These slogans remind us that it's okay to live with as little trouble as possible.
Prayer for the Day Higher Power, show me how to live a simple life. I don't have to do everything the hard way if I listen better to You.
Action for the Day I'll list three or four things I do that make my life harder than it needs to be. I'll share them with a friend.

Quetzel, that title had me grinning before I even read it. I especially liked that 'action for the day' deal. But to think up 3 or 4 things I do to make my life harder and then call someone and tell them would make my day harder than it has to be. Uh.. I'll get back to yall on this one.
I'm back. If you put the old, drunken me on a road and pointed out the town I needed to get to was a twenty minute walk due north, twenty days later, I'd stumble into that town, coming -from- the north, soaking wet, bloody, bruised, carrying a goat, mumbling something about 'bat country'. Nowdays I'd probably be there in twenty minutes.
