Handling Things As They Come

Early in recovery I learned that is very important to handle things as they come up. What does this mean? It means not putting off any problem just because I feel like I can't deal with it at the moment. It means facing problems head on. It means not saying, I'll do it tomorrow... cause we all know that aint happening .

Somehow I let this practice slip to the wayside for a while. The result? I felt overwhelmed with problems and situations that I had left unaddressed. What does this overwhelmed feeling lead to? It leads to a sense of dread over the future. Things left unaddressed don't just go away. Small problems get bigger and bigger until they explode. Then you're left to pick up the pieces. Not a great way to live.
