Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
There are two fatal errors that keep
great projects from coming to life:
1. Not finishing
2. Not starting
Buddha
While living at a farming community, our group planned to erect a new house. For many months, we discussed the plans, and because we did not fully agree, nothing was done. Then one day, one man went out to the building site with a plumb line and began to hammer stakes into the ground. It wasnt long before the house was built.
You can think and talk about a project for a long time, but only action will manifest it. If you wait until youre ready, youll never get anything done. Dont wait until all the conditions are perfect for you to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.
Work through my hands to bring about the things
that will serve You.
I step forward with the trust that Spirit
is moving through me to create good.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
Peace!
Thanks for posting this, what I needed to read right now :-)
"In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions or tasks with low-priority actions, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision.[1] Schraw, Pinard, Wadkins, and Olafson have proposed three criteria for a behavior to be classified as procrastination: it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.[2]
Procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as social disapproval for not meeting responsibilities or commitments. These feelings combined may promote further procrastination. While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological disorder."
Kinda like, spending my time here instead of working on my 8th step, which I am meeting with my sponsor to go over :-/
And trying to get more snow off the roof before it collapses the house.
Yep, priorities :-)
