PROCRASTINATION

“You cannot build a reputationon things you are going to do.”
– Mabel Newcomber

Procrastination is the addicts’ game. I will give up alcohol tomorrow.
Soon I will take an inventory of my eating habits. Later I will talk to
him about my anger and pain. Tomorrow and tomorrow — but it
never happens!

The tragedy is that we not only bring pain and problems into our lives
but we keep them there. Recovery requires action; sobriety and the
spiritual program demand movement.

Today I will talk about my pain.

I ask a lot of people if they know what happens to people who procrastinate…Nothing…I was & to a degree am still a horrible procrastinator…Why do today what I can put off till tomorrow…But AA & the 12 steps have really helped me deal with this problem…I found that when I started doing a consistent 10th step every night…no matter what…(I might interject here that sometimes I fall asleep while doing it & wake up in the morning with unrecognizable ink marks on the page) I discovered a discipline that has helped me in many different areas of my life…Procrastination being at the top of the list…Forcing myself to do my writing every night has been a great tool…Till next time…
