the most important thing

It was boring.
When one day is like the next, they fly by so fast that you can see the last one speeding towards you.
You’re afraid you’ll never finish things anymore.
And every day is filled with thousands of small things.
After you finish with one you catch your breath and go on to the next.
In the end you don’t have the strength or time to do what’s really important. You tell yourself: its okay, I’ll just start it tomorrow.

But tomorrow never comes and it’s always today.


This is a quote that impressed me the most and kept me going. I don't know who gets credit for it, it was definitely not related to alcoholism, but for me it fitted like a glove.
I had a lot of "i'll start tomorrow" and lived more than a year in "today", unable to escape the vicious circle.

Maybe someone will appreciate and recognize it... because damn, that man is wise.

It can certainly apply to addiction - I don't know how many times I was going to stop drinking "tomorrow".
