| Hello, New here + the art of follow through
Hello everyone:
I'm not sure where to start - or rather what to save for other postings, I suppose; this is my first experience with any kind of online support group.
Alcoholic mother, died shortly after I proposed to my fiancee. Only just now seeing the depth of the dysfunction in my choices in how I live life even though I've done couseling on/off for years. While I am experiencing some real hope and progress, what has come under the magnifying glass recently is my
deficiency in making a plan in realistic goals, committing to it and carrying it through - basic organizational life skills. This is essential as my wife and I are both striving to move forward professionally and as I drop the ball, it causes deep pain and mistrust. I've been so use to living life from one escape to the next- in essence, dealing only with the present circumstances with no vision for the future and diving into the latest SF novel on coffee breaks.
Can anyone else relate? I'm very interested in hearing other stories as to strategies people use to stay engaged in the present, staying organized, making sure they do what they say they're going to do.
