As we walk into a new life, a life filled with possibilities for the future, how and when do you accept responsibility for all thoughts, feelings and actions during the course of a day? Procrastination coupled with denial are two of my most glaring ongoing deficiencies; for a variety of selfish reasons I am can be unwilling to set ego aside and handle what needs handling now. The majority of my daily inventories of late have some feature pertaining to my inadequacy addressing events and situations to the best of my ability when they happen. Consequently, I make more mistakes when I finally do address the problem because I am relying solely on memory.

As a drunk, I readily sidestepped responsibility by putting off or completely lying about my part in a matter. In this new life there is little room for error when it comes to honesty; to me and to others. The “white lie” is no longer acceptable. Putting off responsibility for the sake of self can turn habitual. Today I will endeavor to list my tasks and complete all in a timely, honest manner.
