The Clear Horizon

From oblivion of alcoholism into the light of sobriety

Time for Introspection

The days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve offer a great possibility to check my current state of being:

Interestingly, I experienced no craving or triggers in the time before and after the holidays and everything went by quickly and with a great festive touch.

Now I am exhausted, and like it always happens, the first signs of being sick shine through. After a wonderful run yesterday in brisk winter air, today I feel tired, exhausted and sick.

So, I find the time to reflect on this year and I must say, I can not find anything I would put on my bucket list for New Year’s resolutions which went. wrong this year. I do not need to “invent” new resolutions, just adapt the ones I could not finish this year, but it doesn’t give me a bad feeling.

Normally, I would consider throwing everything under the bus I had as resolutions for the ending year, but this time it feels like genuine process.

I think I jumped off the razor’s edge concerning a possible midlife crisis. At least it feels like it.

I am going to elaborate on this in an additional post.

Until then: Keep up the faith in yourself and take one step at a time.
