As a cg we are all too familiar with all the promises we make ourselves around a New Years. I remember I use to almost plead with myself and set high expectations because I had to punish myself for all the bad things that came out of cg. I would like to remind everyone who is reading this, not to be too hard on yourself. The worse thing we can do is set ourselves false expectations, that only make everything worse when we stuff up. I am about to sit down and set myself some financial goals but I am going to go easy on myself. No more punishing myself, I need to live with myself and I need to start loving myself. I am going to celebrate another year of sharing this journey with you all and for being just over one month clean (by a couple of days).
The first six weeks are always the hardest and I am currently visiting my parents. And it is hard, this whole place smells of my cg adventures. And I have found myself more then once talking myself into almost gambling. Till I asked myself, why do I need to gamble? I do not even need money, sure things are tight. But I know too well how easy it is to lose. And id rather lose in life then lose at cg.
Stay strong everyone, 2016 is going to be your year.
