Nothing remains as it was. If you know this, you can
begin again, with pure joy in the uprooting.”

Rexroth Check In 08.48
Woke late and very tired with my place in a mess so...
Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Checked emails and posts
Todo:
x Clean up everywhere and clear up everywhere - some done
x Look at book writing file - a very little done
Look at craft work
x Deal with mail if any
x Write journal
x Prayer and reflection
I've checked my dental appointment for tomorrow.
The truth is that I have wasted most of today and I don't know why and I don't feel good about myself for having done so.
Bed and sleep to come
Night Rexroth 23.33
clement ci - day 15 attempting abstinence
11:57 pm wed night : Hi, i'm clement and it's been 4 min since i last went off plan. I'm posting tonight for tmrw's plan:
:) R
:) quiet time
:) microburst cov let
:) 1:30pm leave
it's incredible the topic for this day, cuz that's eactly what i was experiencing--new beginnings--in my post this night on wed thread. Nice coincidence. Probably God did that.
11:27 am : It's been about 30min since i last went off plan. And i was off plan for not even 1 min. But regardless, i have a new beginning. Time for quiet time.
11:46 pm :
For god has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements and how inscrutable his ways.
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
The above verse is quiet similar to steps 1 2 & 3. It says that this is the way God wants it, failing humans who must depend on him. He wants to give us mercy, rather than us not needing it in the first place. Which confirms what i feel i have been learning, that this addiction is part of God's plan to call me to himself.

Thank you, EleanorBE, for starting the thread. I love that quotation.
I would appreciate it if anyone who feels moved to comment on my post here would write to me privately rather than post in reply to this post - so I can still edit this post here. Thank you!
Scrub the 2nd quarter of kitchen floor
Then
And
Best wishes to my fellow procrastinators with your days ahead.
Thank you to Mole for the suggestion about doing one tile at a time for my kitchen floor. I assumed you were joking about breaking it down quite that far, but today I was successful in cleaning the first 1/4 of it - YIPPEE! And thank you!

Finding a way CI
I just had to check in because I related so much to the quote in today's thread - thankyou EleanorBE! Very relevant for me today.
I have been getting through my work reasonably well, but feeling a lot of stress as I am driven by the fear of 'not getting it done'. I've been finding that keeping a time log is useful as it takes away that feeling of time just disappearing. I can see what time I did 'waste' and it also keeps track of my billable hours.
Thank you all for being here! :)
