Maybe, but you have awareness, and from what I've been told and tend to believe, awareness is the key to the rest of my recovery. If I'm aware of something, I can take action to correct or modify the behavior.

I'm a procrastinator. Why do today what I can put out off until tomorrow?. But people who know me and observe me would disagree. They see a guy who's constantly in motion, getting things done because I can't stand having stuff hanging over my head. But there are some pretty big things I've been blowing off or putting aside because I don't feel like I have the time to focus on making those decisions. Ordering airline tickets for our summer vacation, planning a wedding and setting the date, deciding what to do with our old house, etc.

It's a mindset for me, I try to keep a mental list going of the big tasks and get them done one at a time. Thankfully, I got my taxes done last weekend. When I sit down and kick my feet up for too long, something's wrong, it's time for me to get centered again and get my goals in motion.

Good post matt
