Wow - i'm amazed at all of the things you've learned. I've had a roguh history as well, and I have said those thigs to myself before, and i've had peopel say them to me before, but I don't think they've ever really sunken in. You're really learning to love yourself, and that is fantastic. Congratulations.

100 day milestone. We can all make it. We can. I grew up with physical, sexual, mental and verbal abuse. My parents did drugs and drank. My teenage years were quite turbulent to say the least. When I turned 18, I left. I got married right away to get out of the house. Needless to say the marriage didn't last. I started working on relearning things & raising myself since my parents didn't, but not of course without falling into my parent's behavior along the way. I had to beat many demons before I could get back to work on healing myself to become whole. In the process of getting help, learning, and healing, I had setbacks: I was severely lied to, cheated on, raped, I suffered post traumatic stress disorder and clinical depression. I have experienced the feeling of truly losing all hope. And when I say all hope, I mean ALL hope. My positive attitude comes from the strength God has blessed me with. I also studied cognitive therapy for many years. I do not look at any of the things I have been through in my life as horrible. Each experience is a gift because each experience has molded me and shaped me into the person I am today. A person that I am very happy to be. I am not speaking out of pride. I am speaking out of comfort; someone who is very comfortable in their own skin. Hopefully by me explaining a little of my history, hopefully it will shed some light, will inspire someone, will help someone in their quit, etc.. So here I am bearing my soul. I have beat all kinds of addictions. I have overcome all kinds of abuse. I've overcome co-dependency. I've learned to not live with walls built up all around me. I have learned to be assertive. I have learned how to have healthy personal boundaries and healthy relationships. I've learned how to trust people and how to love and how to love myself. I've learned how to not live in the past. I've learned that life has ups and downs and to not be shocked when the bad happens. I've learned that mistakes and wrong decisions get made; by us or by others. I've learned that we are in control of no one but ourselves. I've learned that change is a part of life; we can embrace it or we can fight it. Life is hard at times, and the choice is ours as to whether we want to make it even

Danielle ... Thanks. Hope it helps someone. MistyMoon ... Rough histories can be worked though, they really can. Another thing I've learned is 'letting go' and I mean REALLY 'letting go'. Somethings took longer to sink in than others, but one thing is for sure ... if you just keep working on it ... it WILL sink in eventually. Good luck on your journey Misty, if you ever need a friend ... I'm here. bgaineshunter ... keep up the quit BG ... addictive personalities can be tamed. ;) Mr. Ed ... thank you so much. I am really happy with my accomplishment. I'm giving myself a little breather and then it will be off to tackle my next goal. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. You are such a nice man. BonBon ... Thanks ... I can remember how very weird it use to be to hear someone call me amazing. That is something else I've had to learn along the way and that was how to accept compliments. When you are abused, you don't get many compliments by the ones that matter most and the ones you do get are lost because of the abuse. 15 years ago if someone had called me amazing, I would have said 'no I'm not'. What a prime example of negative self talk. Negative self talk or junkie thinking is one of the main things that keep us from accomplishing many of our goals in life, because we start to believe it. Boy have things changed. I humbly say thank you Bonbon for your kind words and for celebrating with me. RivMan ... I'm glad to see you are back. Thanks for reading, sharing and celebrating with me. I truly appreciate it. N2K ... Thanks a million girl. Penitent ... Thanks for being a lighthouse for me. Thank you for understanding my journey. Thank you for your compliments. I'm honored.
