My house..The place where I live
Mine will be the following:-

1 ) Restart serious training and diet
2 ) Keep cutting my methadone pills down with the view to getting off completely before the year is out - I've come down 60mg in the last 6 weeks. Also stop my daizepam and pregabalin
3 ) Find a new flat
4 ) Maybe look for a new job within my current profession (HART paramedic or something)
5 ) Be more understanding of others and try not to be offended so easily (sorry lurchy)
6 ) Not to spend my birthday and xmas of 2015 on my own (as I have for every birthday and xmas for the last 5 years including this one and including my 40th birthday this year).
7 ) To continue with my e-cigs and not smoke any cigarettes in 2015
8 ) To do everything I can to help serve and care for my fellow man (and woman!) <3

That's enough for now but I may add some as they come to me.....

Now what are YOUR new-years resolutions ;)
 
1.Get a new job, not that i have a choice.
2.Try not to end up with a new drug habit

Thats it really, i set my standards low so i wont fail
 
Many wishes...
0. Survive
1. Job
2. Take care of the people i love a bit more and be a better friend
 
That s always the prerequisite for the rest... and maybe also because i was a bit lazy to edit all the numbering. Yeah both numbers. Too much for me... :p

Can i in turn ask why you spent these years alone? Or is it a sensitive subject you d rather not discuss in which case sorry to pry

LOL! I guess surviving is kind of a pre-requisite

It is a little bit sensitive but I don't mind telling you....

I don't have any family at all. My mum died in 2010 and I don't see my dad (or even know where he is). There is no other family. I'm also not married and have no kids. Also relationships these past few years have been either very short or very spaced out and have never covered either xmas or my birthday. Part of the reason for that is work and part of it is that I ended a long term relationship just before my mum died and have been a bit wary since then and never seemed to meet the right person. Short-term relationships aside though it's really family that count at this time of year and I don't have any.

I wish this wasn't the case as it makes me desperately sad but I've agreed to work xmas day so someone with family could have the time off. All I would be doing is sitting in this tiny room I've temporarily rented on my own anyway so I agreed to swap with this woman paramedic who has kids so she could be with her family.

I'd love next year to be different.

that's really nice of you man! sorry to hear you re having such a hard time this month, but really, xmas is just a crappy holiday imho, taken over by materialism and propelled by social pressure. but i know its easy to say and harder to put up with in actual life... also, i bet your bl family here loves you just as much as any other family, and probably even more disfunctionally so.

and relationships are tough when youre in a highly demanding medical profession, for everyone involved, but im sure a noble heart will attract a similar one ;)
 
1. Drink less

2. Drink more

3. Remember to take my mental health seriously and be vigilant

4. Move to a place without so many ghosts and memories

5. Try to finally progress from adolescence at least a little

6. Not telling yers
 
1. Start to exercise more and loose some weight.
2. Do more psychedelics.
 
My boss just announced his retirement and I have been given the keys to the company. My resolution is to make coin and fuck bad bitches
 
To start getting shit done. Shift work will not make me it's bitch anymore!!! Spending my days off as I used to, reading and cleaning and what not. NOT SLEEPING 2 DAYS AWAY!!!!

I agree with you about xmas being taken over by materialism and propelled by social pressure. It seems like there's just no way to "escape" from it. You go to the shops and there it is in huge neon signs telling you what to buy, switch on the TV and everything is a so called Christmas Special (even this there is nothing Christmasy or special about them). Even at work, people are all talking about what amazing things they have planned for over the Christmas period. If your unfortunate enough to have no family and are spending it by yourself it's just a constant reminder of what you're missing and while you want to just treat it like any other day, the constant presence makes it impossible. It's one of those polarising times of year where for many it's the best time of year and the one which they look forward to the most and for others it's the exact opposite of that. Anyway like I say, I hope next year will be different.

As for resolutions though, now my back problems have improved so much since my last surgery I really want to get off opiate painkillers for good. I just wish I hadn't agreed to switch from fentanyl to methadone as methadone is such a bitch to get off. The problem with fentanyl patches though is that they aren't really designed for gradually reducing and weaning off.

I'd love to fast forward to this time next year and see how many of my resolutions I've achieved (although mine are kind of more goals that resolutions).....ah well....we'll see :)
 
Mine will be to read the Mental Health Act 1983, so I know the legal basis in the event of another incarceration sans crime.
 
1. Stay off opiates and benzos.
2. Work hard at my school work.
3. Get back in to good shape physically.

Not exactly following the SMART format there but never mind.
 
Mine are vague and dependant on how things pan out generally, but anyway:

* Weigh more than I do now.
* Get fit enough to do a significant run or bike ride.
* Have no more hospitalisations or surgeries (apart from the one I'm already booked in for, natch).
* Make some career progress (hopefully it's my poor health that has caused my enthusiasm for 3D art / games to wane, if not I'll be looking for a new job!).
