Wow, snowboarder, look what you have created. You rock! This is a beautiful thread.

Effie, your list is epic!

Everybody, hope is alive and well and that is a good, good thing.

Hehe my list is absurd. But I reckon with that many rough goals, I'm sure to hit at least one or two :D
 
Quit smoking
Quit abusing most drugs except for special occasion's
Get in shape
Go do some college courses or anything to get my life back on track and work towards a goal
Get the fuck out of where i live somehow
 
Learning to let go and move on.

A strange thing happened this NYE, a bead bracelet that i had been wearing on my wrist for the last 3-4 years fell off on it's own just as the night was approaching midnight.. i started wearing this bracelet when i got involved in the party/drug scene and for some time now i've really wanted to move on from certain people i associate with and the lifestyle in general, i found it rather unbelieavble at the timing of losing the bracelet. Perhaps it was just coincidence, but im going to take it a sign to finally move on in a new direction.
 
I think that is a brilliant idea, some things happen for a reason. I believe i was run over and developed crps because i am now trying to raise money for research to be done into better treatments. It is the most painful, awful degenerative chronic condition that there is and is the highest scoring pain condition with a score of 46.5 out of 50.

Be strong man you can do it.

Love and healing to you <3
 
My main one is....

Quitting all research chemicals and most drugs in general. Accept the occasional weed or benzo when I can't sleep and keeping alcohol use moderate. (I would like to try MDMA and LSD though before I die.) :D I've got about £** worth of RC's stashed away, they're all getting flushed tomorrow because I don't know anyone who would want them. I've finally realized I'm ruining my life with them. My poor brain, liver and kidneys don't deserve it all over a bunch of untested chemicals. If I don't stop, things will get worse and worse, especially my mental health. I understand the first week is going to be pretty difficult though. I've been a reckless teen for three years now, pretty much taking any RC on a daily basis. I used to take a lot of Mephedrone, when it was legal. Was addicted to MDPV for over a year and other stims, and been on and off MXE since it's been around. Or anything that would give me a quick rush.

I Just had to get that off my chest.

Grow up
Socialize more, meet people
Find employment
Go to the gym, or find some sort of hobby
Maybe get a nice girl

I am completely sober writing this, gods truth.

I have a heap of goals, although a lot of them I doubt will actually happen.

- Cut back again on my drinking
- Stop relapsing on benzos and abusing the shit out of codeine
- Not piss so much money away
- Start exercising more

Last year I was lucky enough to quit smoking though
 
Not in order of importance or in any order at all

1. Finish the screenplay I started last year
2. No more stimulant drugs
3. Write down the best things about my day each and every day, and then review this each week and choose the top 5, then review the weekly list each month and choose the top 5, then at the end of the year I will have a list of small things and maybe big things that I would usually have forgotten about that made me happy to look back on and be grateful for. :)
4. Lower my alcohol intake at weekends and never drink on weeknights
5. Gain weight (muscle mass) so I am at least 140 pounds (am only 126 at the moment)
6. Be at work on time every day
7. Wake up in the morning every day with at least 90 minutes before I have to leave for work so I can relax before starting work.
8. Eat healthy home cooked meals at least 3 out of 7 days
9. Take advantage of my unlimited cinema card and watch as many new films that come out as I can
10. Blog about my random thoughts at least twice a week
11. Finish the basics in the language I am creating
12. Learn to and practice meditation
13. Go swimming at least twice a week
14. Learn Latin American Spanish well enough to hold a conversation with a native speaker
15. Phone my dad, or have him phone me and speak to him at least once in every 2 weeks
16. Skype with my Mum and Sister who live in another country to me once a month at least
17. Save between 20-40% of my wages each month for my planned trip to South America in 2013
18. Plan and book my trip to South America in 2013
19. Get a portable GPS and go out geocaching whenever possible
20. Taper off benzos by the end of the year
21. Visit my friends and family as often as possible
22. Get rid of as many unnecessary possessions as possible so I can fit everything that I NEED in two big bags
23. Test out WWOOFing in my own country a few times for a week here and there to prepare myself for WWOOFing in other countries in the future.
24. Read more books about subjects I am interested in, i.e. learn more without actual formal education.
25. Don't make as many assumptions
26. Don't take things personally, even if they seem personal
27. Show the kindness to others that I would expect to be shown to me
28. No more sick days off work due to drugs
29. Post more in the P&S forum on BL

That was a bit of an epic list, I believe that I can achieve all of those goals, but I will add one more to the list.

30. Don't beat myself up if I don't achieve all of the goals I have set, but don't use this as an excuse to not even try.
 
be a better person.
its vague, but easier to achieve than lofty specific goals.
work at it every day.
 
^ Be a better person is something I've wanted to do all my life, even though my family and friends tell me I am a good person who is too hard on myself. You are probably already a better person than you think you are! :)
