E is for "Easy does it...but do it!" They say it is a simple program for people who like to complicate it. There is no race to be run, so easy does it. You deal with your issues, one day at a time, so easy does it, you didn't get this way overnight, so everything isn't made right away. Recovery is a process, it is finding a program that works for you. I can be sober, but if I want sobriety (soundness of mind), I have to continue working on my emotions, my spiritual condition, and all aspect of my dis-ease. The drugs I used were but a symptom of my disease. The problem was me, so if I don't continue to work the program and apply it to all areas of my life, I set myself to slip (sobriety loses it priority). When I surrender to the program, I am empowered to do what I need to do, one day at a time.
