Hi, All, and good wishes for your day!

Again, today, I choose accomplishment in reality over escape, particularly in these ways:

• I choose to be free of the compulsive trance of doing online puzzles--I know that doing even one is one too many, because one almost never feels like enough. (Did OK with this.)
  
• I choose to do my non-fiction listening only during chores or exercise or travel and before 22:30. (Did OK with this.)
• I choose to do my fiction listening only between 18:00 and 22:30 and during chores or exercise or travel. (Did OK with the timing on this, but am not sure all of my listening was during the specified activities.)
• I choose to read fiction by eye only between 20:00 and 22:30. (Did OK with this.)
• I choose to start preparing for bed in silence by 22:31 at the latest. I want to feel rested and energetic when I wake up, tomorrow, for my morning meeting! (Did so-so with this. I kept to the silence, but, again, made some notes for a story after 22:31, and also ate. Got to bed at about 00:30.)

Thought to consider:
What might it mean to ride the crest of my desire to do right?
What one little thing could I do right now?

Good morning PA pals!  Grateful for another day to be one of God's "try-ers." Figure if He loved me enough to hear my pitiful "Help!" whispered from the pit, He's certainly happy to help now that I'm at least trying a day at a time to do the next right thing. 

Can you tell from my cheerful tone that the dreaded webinar project is OVER? lol :-) Not only survived, even got kudos...which actually is terrible for my recovery because it reinforces my addiction to that adrenaline-slammed, last-minute, "pull it outta the hat," panic and payoff  of compulsive procrastination.

I have to remember the terrible beating I take from all that adrenaline on my physical, mental and spiritual condition.  I must be rigorously honest with myself that it is getting progressively worse and never better. My alleged payoffs are fewer and  further between. And they are ridiculously flimsy when compared to the acute episodes of pitiful and incomrehensible demoralization, where I'm banging my head against the desk cursing and wondering how the heck I got so slammed again.

Accomplished thus far:  Personal, pet, program stuff; breakfast and a little kitchen cleaning.  Now I need to pray and come back with a list for the rest of the day.

"My boundaries enclose a pleasant land." Psalm 16

I want to thank my Higher Power for this program, this website, the telephone and online meetings, and my life.

I want to thank maxbarraclough for starting this trend.
