What is something that you are very proud of yourself for doing?

Surviving and thriving on my own.

Quitting drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
Surviving.

Asking for help instead of going berserk, and blaming everyone when life happened to me from university to now.

Also never missing a dose of my mental health meds in 23 years.

Being sober for 25 years.
Never smoking, and avoiding cola for 3 years with one exception to find out how it affects me. Turns out that pop and low blood sugar caused my dizzy spells. So no forever to soft drinks.
Also finding out what foods I can’t eat for my ibs and medicine.

Getting all the ‘over 50’ tests done. Kinda hate it.

Haven’t had any caffeine whatsoever for 16 months and counting. Finally got the monkey off my back. HA!

Surviving the death of my late husband. I never attempted to hurt myself
(tho I did think about it). I didn’t end up in the hospital (that sometimes surprises me).
I didn’t go stark raving mad (only a little bit)

Raising my daughter as a single dad 24×7

Raising happy, healthy kids despite my psycho ex.

Getting sober. Coming out. Being stable while living with a diagnosis of mental illness. Finally thriving after being disowned.

Not being a whore just because I’m handsome. Turning down women actually makes you stronger!

Andrew Doosh Clay claims that as a “handsome” hooker, he lived high on the hogs, because the uggos paid big bucks!
