What 3 things are you most proud of in your life?

I am finally able to come to terms and handle my illnesses.

Overcoming a fentanyl addiction.

Doing the best I can everyday, whether it is being able to accomplish one thing or many things a day.

There are many but I have to say my 3 kids.

I was given fentanyl in the ambulance this spring and it took away the pain without any weird side effects like morphine. I'm glad you kicked your addiction. Gotta be difficult. I think BP are more prone to "dual diagnosis".

Yeah, I was addicted to fentanyl lollipops. They made me feel so awesome.

I was also a very heavy drinker and coke head before I was put on meds. so I am proud of myself for giving up the coke. I still drink once in a while, but have a much better handle on it.

I must've felt really crappy then because all I felt was normal. As if a switch had been turned from "omg this sucks" to "Oh- I'm suddenly ok again".

My Kids
Earning a balckbelt in Karate

Surviving all that I've gone through without turning into an asshole.

1) beating my cocaine addiction
2) Going back to school so that one day i can have a job i will love
3) Getting my learners license (this one was hard as i am petrified of driving or even being in a vehicle)

My children
My sobriety
Graduating from nursing school

Three great things! I am proud of you! I tried nursing school and coudn't make it- anatomy and physiology and chemistry just didn't work. I could read the words but nothing made sense.

Serving in the Peace Corps
Graduating from College
My son

My children. Leaving my abusive husbad and starting over with my kids from the scratchiest of scratch. Lastly myself. Overcoming multiple drug addictions and alcohol abuse.

getting my bachelor degree and working on master's

learning English on the level that I can write poetry in it. Or a 60 page analysis of relgion and its effects on American voting.

Not being trampled by the world, but remaining myself. keeping my idealism despite everything. But being realistic enough to survive.

My kids. That's bout it. Maybe my ex if she wasn't my ex we were great while it lasted still love her too but ya that's bout it

Anika, the things you mentioned were really brave things to do and they are something that should be proud of. I don't know if I could ever do what you did and be okay.

I am so proud of you.

thanks sunangel, but I think you could. I think any of can do what we have to do to survive.
