AA Thought for the Day
March 21, 2009
Procrastination
I wanted to rest on my laurels after my first attempt at making amends.
I was relieved, and thought my task was finished.
I was tempted to skip the more humiliating meetings that still remained,
and to find plausible excuses for dodging certain issues.
I wanted to procrastinate, telling myself the time is not yet,
but I was really passing up many good chances to right serious wrongs.
In AA, I've learned not to talk prudence while practicing evasion.
Thought to Ponder....
Procrastination is really sloth in five syllables.
