Hello All,
I just wanted to post and see what my sisters’ thoughts are on the New Year.
I am one of those that reflects on a year. And likes to make plans for future. For me my goal is simple:
To no longer tolerate/live with active addict behavior. Now, I don’t what that means in logistic terms yet. Move out, file, some miracle occurs where he embraces recover at break light speed, the specifics are not clear.
2012 will be the year of decision for me. No going back.
what about y’all?
March of 2012 is my deadline – 70th birthday. I, also, do not know where this will take me, and I doubt a miracle will occur.
Pam,
Right now I’m just trying to figure out how to get through tomorrow night, lol! We’ve become sort of homebodies on New Years Eve–probably my idea more than SA’s. Still, I always viewed it as a nice evening to reflect on the year that was, close the door on the holidays, and toast the future.
Right now we have no plans for the evening–not even really communicating well. I’m dreading the emotions of New Years Eve, and wouldn’t mind sleeping from tomorrow right through New Year’s Day. The past year brought some horrible emotions. The year to come seems like a big question mark looming ahead. I know I need to count the joys of the past year, not the least of which is finding my SOS sisters. I know I need to stay positive and continue my emotional growth into the new year. So maybe that’s the key for tomorrow night…staying focused on what “is” and not what “I wish it was.” What is everyone else doing for New Year’s Eve? If it seems like a tough holiday, what are your plans for getting through it?Love ZG
Pam, your question made me realize something that might be a positive step for me. Because the first thing that came to mind was that I want to start exercising and lose ten pounds that seem to have decided to take up permanent residence on my thighs. It surprised me that for once I wasn’t thinking about my h, since I’ve been in SA obsession land for the last few months. Forget the damn SA, bring on the Thighmaster, I says! 🙂
Wishing all of you all the best in the New Year. xoxoHi folks,
I’m planning to do more writing and speaking. A colleague and I have been providing consulting and workshops for congregations around conflict, property issues, and planning.
Also, for my sweetie’s Christmas present I wrote 365 thoughts/prayers—one for each day. He’s loving it. So I’m wondering if that’s worth cleaning up and maybe self-publishing.
Happier New Years to all the great sisters here.
love,
Diane.diane you should publish it i love reading your posts. i would bet you will be very successful. when you post i get so much from it. you get to the heart of everything, you always have a way of making me see and feel better.
happy new year and i hope life will be good to all
love kattI spent the first six months after D-day raging. This past year I spent crying. My plans for the New Year are to respond with less emotion, more cognitively, and detach emotionally from people and circumstances that cause me pain. I am practicing phrases, that I hope will become reflex, to use in difficult situations.
Besides avoiding pain, I am also going to become more active in pursuing pleasure for myself. Doing anything that will make me engage in living. I miss myself and I going to go find me.
Love, Debora
I start a new job on jan 3rd and plan to put together a comprehensive piece of work for schools personal, social, health curriculum and I also plan to spend more time with the children run a half marathon and dedicate my life to world peace. I may also just turn 40 on February 10th and my little girl is 16 end of Jan… Oh my!!
Love you all and happy new year xx
