> Subject: You Say You Want a Resolution -- a forum at Makepeace Manor 12.27.17
>
> It's a few days until New Year's Eve, the prime time for RESOLUTIONS. A resolution is a commitment to change; a decision or determination for a course of action.
>
> For some in our Burner community, resolutions may be tied to our relationship with substances. "You Say You Want a Resolution" is a forum for people who are making or considering a substance-related resolution. Substances include alcohol, pharmaceuticals, narcotics, and tobacco. Making such a change is a personal choice but if it's a thought -- it's worth thinking through.
>
> At this forum at Makepeace Manor, we will share openly the resolutions we are considering or committing to, and how we can prepare for success. Topics can include:
> * Understanding your goals and motivations in making a resolution
> * Determining the resolution you want -- and that you can keep
> * Should you share your resolution -- or keep it private?
> * Is this something you can tackle alone or do you need a support team?
> * What is success and what is failure? If one fails, what next?
> * How to share with others that your lifestyle has changed
> * Identifying potential pitfalls to avoid
> * Accepting that others may not be ready to share or celebrate your progress
>
> We will meet from 7:30 to 9:00 at Makepeace Manor on Wednesday December 27th. You are welcome to drop by early for snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, and conversation, but please be committed to being present and focused for the 90-minute session from 7:30 to 9:00.
