The best antidote to procrastination is being kind to ourselves.

clement ci - day 210 attempting abstinence, 130 from self

Abstinence from unplanned time.

  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.

Abstinence from relying on self. AA Big Book says to rely on God. Quoted in my bookmarks : scroll down to "AA Big Book on fears : relying on God not self-reliance:"

5:19pm : Reflecting on Day Counts: it's been 74 days since i had an off-plan bender >4 hrs, but only 30 days ago i had one 3hrs 14min. I dont get the impression that i'm cured, just that the drugs (recovery) are fighting back the illness (procrastination), but i might have a break-out some day and have a 4hr, 6hr, or whole-day off plan bender.
