Hello my friends,
I'm here for the simplest reason you can imagine. I need you. I need your support because I think that I can't solve my condition of chronic and compulsive procrastinator by myself. I don't want to annoy you with the description of my syntoms, fully similar to yours. I think I will be able to survive my disease (I call it so) only with the help of other procrastination addicted persons. I'm sorry that so many persons suffer from this, but at least we are not alone in sustaining this misunderstood and underestimated condition.
Thank you for being here.

p.s.: sorry for my English, I have studied it at school, and currently read it, but I have only a few opportunities to write it.

Welcome! This disease is indeed misunderstood and underestimated, but we're lucky to have a support group like this. I just found this website a few days ago, but I already feel comfort in knowing that I'm not alone.
Welcome Pythagoras
Yes, it is wonderful to discover that you're not alone in this struggle! We will overcome it together.
Don't worry about your English, it's excellent! About a million times better than my Italian.

Thank you very much, Jo,
Thank you very much, Jo, for your kindly words of encouragement....
I'm motivated to overcome this misery. How could I begin to use your site, or your methods, at best? I've already read a few interesting articles about the problem here in this website.
Sorry if my questions seem a bit ingenuous...
@Pythagoras
Start by reading the articles that Pro has posted in the articles section, and post your intentions in the Daily Check In Thread. THe daily check in helps me the most, by posting what I intend to do and then post if I have done it. !

the articles are great, but if you're like me, you've read many articles and tried to recover many times only to give up at some point.
The key appears to be consistently applying one of the many techniques. there's one on this site. the 12 steps including the tools for recovery. I think recvoery comes by using the Daily Check-ins at http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/forum/6
this tip from the membership here might help: typical use of chat and the check-in board http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/1949#comment-28516

Thanks
to Jo and Clement for all your informations. I will try. I'm going to read the twelve steps, first, and some articles, then I will try to use the check-ins. I hope this is a space where, talking, someone can find some psychological relief from that horrible condition. I'm willing for anyone desiring to share his/her problem with me and try to solve our problems together. Thank you!
right attitude
fwiw, you seem to have an attitude that is the same as many people who make great progress in this fellowship.
Yes, the daily checkins are a place to discuss with people. As is the chatbox in teh top nav bar.
