I skipped my nar anon meeting tonight because it was a 30 min drive away and now I wish I had gone ... anyone else ever done this?

Ummm. The gym. Because it's a whole 9 blocks away.

I think we've all done it, Lily. For me, part of me doesn't want to believe I need help. I've been avoiding going to Home Depot to get parts to fix my sink. I'm pathetic. You aren't.

I used to do that all the time. Lately, I don't give myself an option. If I need to do something, I just do it and don't let myself talk myself out of it.

I have also found that not putting things off til later helped me avoid regretting not doing something later. For example, when I would think "I just need to sit for a little and relax, I'll go to the store/meeting/appointment/etc. in a couple minutes" I found out I would just keep putting it off another half hour another half hour and then another until it was late and then I would say "I'll go to tomorrow". Now I force myself to go and that i'll relax later.
