And all good things stem from that exact goal! It is truly the only resolution that matters

2023:
Become more patient with my elderly Mom-92.
Eat more greens
Continue to form the boundaries to distance my soul from the verbally abusive people in my life.
Work on my recovery and attend in person AA meetings. Confession: I’ve been to Zoom mtgs, not in-person since pandemic. I found one in schedule I’ll try this week.
Judge less and be grateful.

- Continue to stay sober from alcohol and pills
- Quit energy drinks
- Talk better to myself/ be nicer to myself
- Learn to swim / get over my fear of the ocean
- Get my ged
More then anything on this list I really want to get my ged. I already bought a practice test book. I keep putting it off and saying I can’t do this but there has to be a way. I’m tired of retail and restaurant work and I really would like to go to school for something in the hospital field. I want to help people. First this starts with ged and maybe get a tutor.

Welcome Joshua.
I get my best support actively working a gratitude list over here Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #2 - #2206 by Jon_Ian
reading and writing about how much gratitude we have when we are sober is one of my strongest tools. Come check us out on the daily. It will change you life. Changed mine.
Happy New Year to you.

I want to go on vacations this year, cycling. Doing it not only planning it. @Mno 
I need to join the activities that are set up in my house for community building. I have to go downstairs and join them.
Not moving this year is on the top of my list.

Today is day 18 sober and 3 months and 19 days without smoking my resolution this year is to do things that will make myself smile and be happy. Life is hard enough and doing little things to make myself smile makes the beginning process of being sober that much easier 
Happy SOBER New Year my friends

Okay I decided on a resolution.
Stretching!!! Every day. I can do it while watching tv and even if I don’t do my Physio exercises (which I still PLAN to do) stretching should help with pain and mobility.
Gotta take better care of this old lady body.

I find monthly resolutions are far more attainable and fun, knock the months off and you’ll do the whole year. I’ve done that the last couple of years and knocked each resolution off the list.
Like anything break it down into smaller chunks. After January if you’re not liking it or it’s negatively affecting you, you can call it a solid month earned. Don’t want to be getting to May resenting that diet, especially people like us don’t!

I adore stretching and it really helps!!! Plus…feels so good!! Go you!!
Here we go! Happy new year folks! London is a little gloomy and rainy but yumm I can smell a great year ahead 362 days to go. New years Resolution is to get in the best shape mentally and physically as well as making some investments here and there. First things first every morning is to keep putting myself in check, sober is better. Alcohol is a drug and should be illegal, cocaine even worst. None of it is real happiness it is fake. I even took shrooms recently which helped me understand that it’s my subconscious that likes these substances not even my conscious self, proving to me that alcohol and drugs are in control just like my subconscious but that is not my actual consciousness, once we all understand that our silly subconscious has these desires and not our conscious self, it’s easier to get rid of these bad habits. Just admitting we are not in control and letting that be, and guess what that makes you strong and stronger than you think actually saying and teaching the subconscious you are wrong and you are dangerous to my well being, eventually it will learn and will be one with your conscious. Honestly, I feel good, I could be better and I will! Health is everything and so is family. Don’t let anything else get to you. It’s all superficial, we gotta look after ourselves and others. No matter what. Love you all from my whole heart! I wish you a successful year in sobriety and everything else will fall into place, positive energy! Let’s gooo!

Hi everyone and anyone who reads happy new year 
I haven’t made any new year resolutions but a small goal I have is to prioritize rest because I spent most of 2022 stressed out and this was before I started this journey in recovery which as of the 5th I’ll have 5 month’s and I’m so pleased with myself and I say that lightly because I’m going through this not punishing myself for being an addict. Each day I’ve woken up throughout these 5 months I’m just glad I’m not hungover and sick and I try my best to appreciate and thank God for letting me see this side of recovery even when I’m frustrated or feeling like a failure due to my finances which I’m taking heed to better and I’m hopeful I’ll have more time with my nana and my family in general because I landed a job with a good schedule and just more time with my small goal to get better rest.

As the end of 2023 is approaching I want to revivid and bounce this thread again.
A shoutout to all who posted in 2022! I hope you are doing well 
I would like to invite you taking an inventory what happened to last year’s resolutions for 2023. If you like, post about it. Sometimes a retrospect can be very helpful before setting up new resolutions and/goals. Of course feel welcome if you didn’t share here last year!
I would also like to invite to post your resolutions for 2024 if you have some. Or think about setting goals for the new year.
For some of us christmas and the end of the year are difficult times. I hope this thread can also help a bit on focussing on yourself. Because you and your decisions matter.
