Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to wash my car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice that
there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before
I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can
under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash
first, but then I think that since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check
left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I
find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my
checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over.
I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in
the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter and I discover my reading glasses
that I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I'd better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to
water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with
water, and suddenly I spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight, when we
go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will
remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in
the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the
floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and
wipe up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't
watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find
the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did
with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long and I'm really tired. I
realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Im vigilant in my recovery. I BOAT as much and often as I'm able, at every waterway possible, just to ensure Im not getting addicted again and I can handle the pressure that surrounds me. :)

Its the riff raff and lack of support at these meetings that dont help the cure. You are either committed or your not. ;)

What's that old saying, "If you're not part of the solution, you must be part of the problem"? :D
