[quote=DeeAnnaD1913;4729781]You're not a loser. That's amazing that you have your bachelors! I am about to start back to college for the first time in ten years. I am terrified. I had to drop out back then bc i was getting pretty bad off with the pills back then and school just wasn't in the mix. I am so ready to do this but I am terrified that I am going to fail or something because I have failed at everything else in the last ten years- but I wasn't sober, either. So yeah, you should be super proud of yourself! Give yourself a break. As addicts, we are very hard on ourselves, aren't we!?

Yes, we sure are.
Good for you on getting over your pill addiction- I almost dropped out of college back when I was getting my degree because of drug issues as well and am lucky I was able to make it through- Good for you on going back and giving it another go! I'm sure you'll do great now that you're on a more even keel and clear headed!
