I use to use/drink/smoke when I felt overwhelmed and anxious. This happened daily since I wasn't working out the problems that arose in my life. I would think, "Oh, the stress" and reach for something that would take it away. Now I look at stressors as reminders that I have to do something, not just sit around. This doesn't mean that all of my desires to use/drink/smoke have disappeared, but with practice I have decreased them significantly. Now I only think about it once in a while. Procrastination-wow, that's a tough one! I would love some tips on dealing with this! Maybe you can give us a top 5 favorite ways to overcome procrastination in a future posting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, they're always interesting and helpful. Erin,
