Better late than never!
I just checked my 3 goals for 2025 that I posted earlier in this thread, and I know the year is still youngā¦ but right now the only goal that I have achieved, or that is still in place, is my sobriety! The rest I havenāt achieved yet (travel to a new place, or at least have the trip planned, and socialize more!) Oh wellā¦ as long as Iām sober, the rest will probably follow by itself!

Hard to believe another year is almost in the books. So Iām being this thread back to life!
Reflection of 2025.
I have spent most of 2025 sober!! A 2 slips which didnāt go very long, thank goodness. But I have both feet are in now. I have a total of 411 days sober since August 2024. Which is nothing short of miracle for say.
I did start to learn Spanish that is going very, very slow.i have started to take better care of myself, room for improvement there.
Got to spend a good amount of time vacationing at the beach.
Positivity 2025
got go to the beach a lot and Hawaii
enjoyed my summer and spent a lot of time outside
that my health is starting to go in better direction
Negative 2025
my two slips with my alcohol demon
my Husband health decline (almost lost him)
to much growth in my home town. They keep taken lager amounts of trees down, to build big corporate stores (seriously how many Starbucks does the world need) . Breaks my heart.
2026
go for a walk outside every day. ( Rain or Shine) And loss some weight as result
To appreciate each day and live my best life
to add 365 days to my sobriety
to payoff my debt I have accumulated over 2025
