Yay, Julie. I've been looking for you.
There is a thread here in the Alcoholism forum entitled Procrastination as well as one about Living Life which also has a discussion about the same topic. I intend to get to both of them soon, no joking. Lol

Have you read about AVRT in Secular Connections? Learning about that really helped me to handle the addictive voice. You/we give the AV all of the power It possesses. It is truly helpless (although annoying and bothersome) without our assistance.

First task: You are no longer allowed to call yourself stupid.
Wait, correction: First task; no drinking. Second task, no bad talking yourself.

If you feel like doing a "cool activity," go for it. If you don't feel like it yet, don't sweat it. The desire will come, I promise.

Hi Julie,

How goes?

Julie,

Been cyber stalking your thread.

I started the procrastination thread.

For me addiction and procrastination are both reactions to fear.

So now that I don't drink, seems I don't do much either.

Come over and chat on the other thread or here, take your pick.

Hang in there.

That is exactly what would happen to me at work! The witching hour began around 3pm. Maybe head it off at the pass - food? water? breathing?

Glad you posted, Julie.
I had more Day 0s than I'd like to recount.

Seems like you are willing to live up to the commitment to post - maybe we can capitalize on that?

Look forward to seeing you later.

Good morning/evening/night everyone...... I'm posting .... yay for me !!
Is Friday morning here. I have just got back from my weekly BNI (Business Network International)meeting. I am usually inspired after these meetings. I use Fridays to catch up on my home business ((work fulltime at another job Sunday-Thursday. As I never see a cleaning or washing fairy in sight (where DO they hide!!!)I try and get on top of that as well. Sometimes I achieve a lot on these days and sometimes I procrastinate (and possibly drink earlier in the day than normal
Today I will make time to visit all the links and forums you guys have advised me of. I will also post later and tell you how my day has gone.

Hope you are all in a good place at the moment....

Obladi

Good morning, Julie.
The washing fairy lives at my house!
I often say "The laundry fairy just came" after dropping a load of various cleaned and folded items in my daughter's room.

Here's hoping you keep out of mischief today.
Do let us know how it goes.
Rooting for you.

Julie59

Mmmmm does your "washing fairy" have any cousins in Australia ???

Obladi

Why she's right there in your own back yard... in fact, she's you! Doesn't that make you feel wonderful and special?

How did you make out?

Julie59

I'm back .... still with bad habits ... still up and down ..... got to get thru this....
How is everyone else?

Dee74
