Casey, volunteering is something I thought about a couple of months ago but as always I put it off for another day, still the daft / selfish old side of me telling me that's not something I'd ever do.
I definitely have a tendency to talk a good game and then not actually follow it through with the plans that I have come up with. I can make plenty of excuses to put things off and do something else none productive and just get lazy, the thoughts and intentions are there but I don't carry them through and take the easy option instead.
I have found sobriety is about what I do not what I say or think.
