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!

I’m an uggo, can I tempt you to a night of whoring @Blackberry? xD

In all seriousness I’m proud of myself for surviving. I left an Abusive household at a young age, and live independently despite being disabled and queer (leaving home as an Asian woman was a big deal, plus being queer doesn’t help)
I’m proud of choosing to carry on despite wanting to not exist, for quitting smoking, and trying my best to stay healthy.
I’m proud of myself for pushing myself out of my comfort zone and going travelling and not giving up on my dreams.

So proud of all the jellies on this thread seriously you’re all a bunch of badasses <3

For graduating college and law school while working full time with two children. Yes, I was proud when I finished. I’m also proud of those wonderful girls I got to mother and help along the way to adulthood. There are other things I’m proud of but that’s enough shared.
