Ok, who is making not gambling a New Years Resolution?  

Great idea of course…. how many times have you made it before?  I know I did lots of times!!

So what’s going to be different this time?

I think it’s a human reaction to rebel against not being able to do something.  Take a diet – NOT eating snacks between meals is hard, a positive resolution to eat a piece of fruit between meals is more likely to succeed.

So yes make that no gambling resolution but back it up with positive actions, positive resolutions.  This year i will be honest with my partner, this year I will be accountable, this year I will get to a GA meeting, this year I will post on the forum at least x number of times a week…. etc etc

Now please post your resolutions here, gambling related or not, but please also post the positive actions you are going to take to give those resolutions more chance of success.

Last year my Resolution was to listen to more music, I’m pleased to say that one is still going strong. 🙂  

This year I’m not making one, I made a resolution/commitment a few months ago that will keep me busy until April, maybe I will make another one then.  Of course New Year doesn’t have to be the time to make changes, for anything positive the best time to do them is always NOW.

 

A couple of quotes I have heard recently:

Life doesn’t have a remote control, it’s up to us to get up and change it. (On the side of a van)

Never let your past be bigger than your dreams. ( Planet Rock!)

 

Happy New Year.

Good idea Charles..

My resolutions are not gambling number one as if i don’t have that i don’t have anything. GA meetings, counselling, chat groups. Staying connected to other recovering gamblers.
Thats my number one and anything else is secondary
I will get fitter this year, 30 mins daily exercise is not too much
Looking after myself as well as others

My New Years resolutions are: To be more supportive to others on this site. I want to be more healthy and will obtain this by exercising, losing weight. For my spiritual self, I will medtitate daily and will continue to set boundaries with others and go with my instincts. I am going to put myself out there and meet new people through groups activities. My last resolution is to connect to my creative side by trying my hand at writing and new crafts and projects. Looks like I have a lot to work on and look forward to. It’s going to be a great year!

Resolutions won’t stop me gambling.
Barriers will.
I resolve to create as many barriers as possible, to make gambling IMPOSSIBLE!
