Serious What are you most proud of that you've accomplished in life?

[jewel13]

After 44 years in this life, I can finally say I am proud of myself. For getting help with my brain.

When I was 42, I got diagnosed with Autism (ASD). It put many things into perspective, gave a lot of answers, but also really sucks. I have hated my autism all my life, I just didn't know it was autism. Females are quite skilled at masking behaviour, or so I'm told. So yeah, I basically hated myself I guess.

After the diagnosis, I learned how my brain works, how it's different, what I can control and what I can't. And I decided alcohol was always my medication, but it was not my friend. So I stopped drinking 7 months ago. Now I feel things. I don't like it. But I know I have to work on that, to be a good person. Currently at home with burn out issues. Not being around people is very peaceful.

But yeah, within two years, made some big changes. For a lady that detests change, I think that's something.

And good topic, it's great that it has a place on these forums

If you can identify all of the ‘toxic shaming’ (aka trauma) in your past and then truly let go of it, then practice being comfortable in the present moment, you will achieve what you want.

Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth is amazing. I’ve completed the audiobook 8.5 times now. It keeps my mind as close to Zen as possible.

Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw is an excellent resource to learn about where the ‘toxic shame’ started and how to let go of it.

You can be sober, and the universe will let you know when it’s the right time. Even if the message is fucking horrible at the time. Nothing genuinely worthwhile is easy, or quick. Good luck my friend.

I really like this. A lot

Getting away with mass murder is my best!

Jerking off into an old sock does not count as mass murder sweetie...

I made a fake gore magazine once.

Even I'm proud of that, if only by proximity and the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I absolutely LOVE this ! You rock !

I’m proudest of my son. He’s grown into a good man. He’s never been in trouble. He graduated with a degree in psychology. And he genuinely loves his mom and his younger half brothers. The only reason I know he came from my seed is that he loves Family Guy. (And he looks just like me) I love him more than life itself.

Reaching over 50 seeing I was only given 24 hours to live after a difficult birth resulting in me being stillborn... It took 10 minutes to revive me..

Being a spastic for 50 years is a feat!

I'd say stopping opiates where many of my associates lost their lives is notable, and it's something to be proud of. I quess it's been long enough I don't even think of it a lot anymore which is an accomplishment in itself.

Quitting methadone cold turkey. That's the holy grail as far as I'm concerned. Lol

4 awesome biological and 2 incredible step children, along with 5, soon to be 6 grandchildren.

Nothing beats the highs and lows of parenthood, especially when they are all out of the house and on their own.

It’s the hardest job in the world. It’s all on the job training, the hours are intense and you pay for the privilege, but the rewards are priceless.
