One Thing at a Time
When I got to work the next day, several of our clients were talking about New Year’s resolutions. A forty-something man was telling the group he planned to quit smoking, lose 35lbs., attend church every Sunday, run five miles a day six times a week, and volunteer at the food bank.

“And no more swearing,” he added.
“Easy Does It,” I said, quoting an AA slogan. “How about
after you haven’t done heroin for a while you pick one or maybe two more things
to work on?”
He rolled his eyes. I started to say something sarcastic,
but wished him well instead.
“Thanks,” he said, “Trust me, when I set my damn mind to
something, I get shit done.”
A woman in the group laughed and said, “You just swore
twice.”
Today I will focus on one change.
