Boredom was one of my emotional triggers, it was due to my procrastination and having lack of faith and confidence in myself.

Hi

The recovery program for me  is non religious.

The recovery program for me was about healing the hurt inner child in me.

No one could stop me gambling that was going to be my own choice. 

I use  to fear being honest.

I use  to fear emotional intimacy.

I use  to fear being my self.

I found that the deep honest heart felt therapies reduced my fears.

I found that the deep honest heart felt therapies helped heal the hurt innner child in me.

The recovery program it helped me write down my needs, it helped me write down my wants, it helped me write down my goals.

The recovery program it helped me write down all of my fears. 

Then I reduded my fears and face each one.

Am I allowing procrastination to limit me living my life to the full each day?

With procrastination, I needed to identify face and reduce my fears one by one.
Boredom was one of my emotional triggers, it was due to my procrastination and having lack of faith and confidence in myself.
Sticking with healing, recovering and overcoming procrastination really accelerated my recovery.
How committed am I in writing down my needs my wants and my goals.
Another thing was not able to ask for help.
I now know that asking for guidance and to get people to show me how to do things was very helpful.
The simple fact is someone shows me how to do it and I do it my self that is part of my learning curve.
By doing things no matter how imperfect they are, each time I learn some thing new healthy for me and for next time.
At one time I tried doing dry wall with my wife , we did the garage and then after that we did about 70% of our basement, it was very rewarding and helped raise our confidence.
Each day we do a list of things for the next day.
Writing down our needs our wants and our goals is very focused and very rewarding.
Over time it got easier understanding the difference from our needs and our wants.
For me Procrastination is not very healthy, procrastination is a complete waste of time and energy, procrastination was white knuckling my recovery.

In time I would understand that Procrastination was due to my fears my lack of confidence my lack of self esteem and lack of self worth.

I soon realized that sitting on my hands doing nothing was not gettting me any where healthy.

Like many people I would learn that by my mistakes and my errors I would F**g btetter healthier skills.

The longer I am attending meetings the less of a loner in my self.

Shared therapies would help me open up my self more, be able  to articulate my feelings and emotions, I would seeeand feel my self in other peoples therapies.

In the meetings as they get more and more healthy you find that most people will heal and grow at different rates.

I am very much dedicated to a non religious recovery.

I am a much healthier spirtual person today.

I no longer want to be a fear filled person.

I no longer want to be an unhealthy scared person today.

Love healing and peace to every one.

Dave you always trigger my thoughts and get the grey matter churning.

On boredom my initial thoughts were to try to fill my time doing stuff to avoid being in that situation, but as my recovery evolved so did my thought process, i could never sit and be just .....well bored. These days i not only can but do now love just sitting doing nothing, maybe thinking or day dreaming or maybe just watching the world go by. Boredom is no longer a trigger its now a pleasure.

Best Wishes
