@missy @charmaine and @lyxzen came up with a wonderful topic: what are your greatest accomplishments
I take great pride in my accomplishments, sometimens it worries me i have nothing left to fuck up since I already did it before! Haha. I've come a long way, so here it goes.
8 years ago I quit hard drugs. I did meth for 3 years, coke for 2, and heroin for a year. Long story short, like most drug addicts, I lied, stole, cheated, and was just a shitty person. I saw things I could never undo, stayed places you only imagine in movies, and met some interesting characters. I would never change that part of my life, even with the horrifying aspects to it. I once saw grown adults blow speed into a babies lungs, tortured animals, and prostitutes lined up in abandoned houses for the picking. With this, comes my next accomplishment: losing weight.
When I was on drugs, I was also on a cocktail of prescription medication for bipolar disorder (looking back now, it was probably more the drugs and being crazy if anything) causing my to have adverse reactions. I gained excessive amounts of weight over the course of 3 years, weighing over 200 pounds.
There was one day, I remember. My boyfriend slash enabler was showing me a video of us and I couldn't recognize myself. My shallow teenager brain took offense, and thats what made me quit drugs. I began to focus on losing weight, ditched the boyfriend and friends, stop dealing drugs, and became obsessed with eating healthy and working out instead.
I felt so awful from losing weight that I don't remember quitting drugs to be honest. I think it was too traumatic to remember, so that's what I normally say. But to be honest, I'm about 50% sure thats how it happened. I don't remember detox because it was probably too sucky, but I do remember Billy Blanks telling me to punch it out.
Special contender to accomplishments include quitting cigarettes (probably one of the best decisions I never thought I'd do!) as well as taking care of my mother 2 years ago during her breast cancer surgery and chemotherapy. All of these moments in my life have made me stronger and more appreciative towards people and myself.
This blog would have been 10 times better with photos, but once again it's not working for me. Maybe @courtneyriot could help me out with that one? I know you guys said you were having trouble with ios8, which I have now. It just says it's at 5% for a bazillion minutes but never loads
