Welcome to SR, Psalm12140
If you read through the stickies at the top of this forum you may get some insight. The 'Characteristics of ACOA's' sticky has one identifying characteristic as the inability to follow through on commitments.
I have been going through the 12 steps in a Al-anon group and have gotten more insight on my procrastination (among other issues - both parents were alcoholic). I am getting some help by focusing on the present and not being distracted by my thoughts, as they tend to drift into the future, the past, and to rewriting the script of the present. In the present is where, for me, God's will can be found. God's will is that I get done what is best for me to get done.
Full disclosure: This technique and my recovery are a work in progress. You are doing well to see your problem and seek help.
