• Reasons that Why New Years Resolutions Dont Work

2
Its that time of year when many people make
resolutions and set goals for the upcoming year.
Often, within the first few weeks or months of
the new year, they have been abandoned. People
struggle to figure out why they didnt work and
go back on autopilot with little or nothing
changing. Whether it is a goal to get sober,
lose weight, get in shape, save more money or
take a trip, most often resolutions dont happen
for one simple reason. There is no plan. For a
goal (resolution) to work, there are some simple
rules. First, it has to be more than some vague
notion. To achieve any goal, it has to be
something you are committed to doing. Goals
should be SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
 Realistic and have a Timeframe. That is the
framework for a plan. Because this is a recovery
site lets use getting sober as an example. You
can apply this method to any goal you want to set
or resolution you are making.

SpecificI will stop drinking or using
drugs. MeasurableZero drinking or drug
use. AttainableOf course it is, millions of
people have done it! RealisticYes, if you truly
want it. TimeframeYou can start today or any
day of your choosing. Remember A Goal or
Resolution Without a Plan is Just a Wish!

Many times after the holidays, people make a
resolution to quit drinking or using drugs. It is
usually because they have recognized a pattern of
drinking or using which is disturbing to them.
Maybe there are some difficulties in some major
life areas such as relationships, work or school.
Sometimes people making these resolutions arent
sure if they have a drinking or drug use problem.
If you are one of those people you can always
take the free online assessment tool to help you
make up your mind. Maybe you have already
decided you have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
If so you might want to check out our
online Addiction Help Program. Or possibly you
have already been trying to quit and the holidays
found you relapsing. You might want to consider
our three week Relapse Prevention Program. At My
Online Recovery, we wish you all the best for a
Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2019. If you are
making resolutions, remember to make
them SMART and always have a plan so you goals
will become a reality.
