Reso-fucking-lutions

1.1.25

Getting clean isn’t the hard part. Being clean, vulnerable, unapologetically transparent, and learning to love yourself, that’s the challenge.

My resolutions for 2025 are all focused on learning to love myself. For some that may seem like a very easy thing to do, but for those of us suffering from addiction, it’s very hard to see any positive traits or qualities in ourselves. We carry shame and guilt like a chain around our necks that cause self-loathing, and we are constantly putting ourselves down. Loving others comes easily, but loving ourselves is really fucking hard.

I will be honest and transparent with others and myself

I will be vulnerable and express my feelings without holding back

I will sincerely compliment myself at least once a day

I will go out of my way to help others whenever I can

I will give grace to others and myself

I have a couple of goals for 2025 that I better write down to keep myself accountable. I want to read the big book front to back, I’ve read most of it already but skipping around based on the meeting and topic being discussed. I want to complete the twelve steps with my sponsor. I really need to get a sponsor, hoping to have that relationship finalized this week. Fingers crossed!

Bring it on 2025, I’ve got this.
