a great quote leed. procrastination was my middle name. it all came from fear. fear that had no basis. so i put off making decisions. then i found i could bounce things off to my sober friends. not at a meeting but later. as i learned to not see everything as fearful i gained confidence. afterall i was fearful of staying sober yet i did! then as well as today i consider my options and make the best choice based on facts. i am now willing to accept if i didn't make the best choice cause i did my best. and the best part for me is i no longer use the option to drink. i know it will only create a mess and the decision still needs to be made and awaits when i "come to". sobriety has given me far more than what the literature tells me. i think of the promises, big book, and those promises have come true. so i correct myself re that last sentence. today i'm free to make decisions thanks to my sobriety.
