Keep it Simple
People who have difficulty with the Twelve Step program are unusual indeed. What could be more obvious than: Don't drink and don't die. What could be simpler? We can only analyze something complex, because something absolutely simple doesn't have any components. A compound can be broken down into its elements, but an element cannot be analyzed. Imagine, then, the frustration we experience in trying to analyze the recovery program, one of whose axioms is 'Keep it simple!' The beauty of the Twelve Step program is its utter simplicity. Only an unusual mind would try to analyze it.
