A Failure to Plan is a Plan to Fail

I learned a great lesson about myself yesterday. I have tended to in a lot of ways fly through life by the seat of my pants and then wonder why things don't work out or I forget things. Due to failure to thoroughly plan my day out after church this past Sunday I was unable to attend a 12 step meeting and I didn't get to the gym until about 11 PM. I see I need to plan things out beforehand and not just assume I can do everything and then get upset when I can't or claim"Its not my fault," when things don't go my way. It is important to know you can't always get your way too. A very important lesson in recovery.
I know exactly when and where I am going to a meeting tonight which will allow me to get to the gym before 10 PM tonight. I probably don't even need to workout after shoveling 4 drives today!! Everybody watch your backs out there.
Ready for my counseling session and my group encounters this week.
Later Tater
