New Years Resolutions Anyone/ 2016 Goals?

[Ronin]

I don't have resolutions, I have goals.

They boil down to 'stay healthy enough to get out' & 'don't shut down, in face of nothing'.

I didn't make resolutions since I was a child and my resolution had to be "Be a better, well-behaved little grown-up, don't make trouble, don't cry, don't get angry, don't complain, don't bother anyone, don't don't don't...". Basically it came down to don't breath or even exist.

This year I made two:
one) set boundaries and not let anyone run them over
two) make friends with myself

I'd like to take my dog on woods walks but the woods are a huge trigger for me. She has to make do with the beach or the road.

coming face to face with someone I know. I realize they are there for the same reason

Yes! The anonymity goes both ways. Many many years ago I ran into one of my bosses at a meeting! I almost died. But then I thought, "Wait, he's here too." And actually it was very good. I actually felt like we had this secret connection and he was kind of looking out for me. I've run into others I know from the community and it's been a little "Hey, whoa, hi!" and then it's just good. It's actually reassuring in a weird way. For better or for worse, we (alcoholics and our families) are everywhere. You just definitely aren't alone.

Thank you for the encouragement @Chava. It means a lot. It has been a source of major stress.

1. The only New Year Resolution I have.ever been able to keep past January 3 is not to make anymore NY resolutions.

 

[Gadgie]

Thankfully I never made any New Year resolutions, I was just so happy to be here to see it?

Things weren't looking so good when I first arrived at the hospital in Holland?

Hopefully everything works out @Gadgie . Speedy recovery. Warm healing thoughts and cyber hugs if wanted.
