Me too... I was a very busy girl when I was drinking, out practically every night of the week, lots of projects. But then my body and mind started to pack up on me. We can only cope with so much.

^^ I'm just like this too. I always have too many jobs on the go, my mind flits from one thing to another and I find it hard to concentrate. But I do know that I work really well under pressure. Stick a deadline in front of me or an exam to work towards and I'll get the job done. This is why I think structure is really helpful. The addiction counsellor I see writes out tasks for me to do and I know I'll get them done because I'll get told off if I haven't done my homework! In the mean time procrastinating on SR can never be a bad thing
Maybe think about how you learn best. If you need more structure then getting a sponsor might provide that.
