I'm proud that I went to someones house after my meeting last night and socialized. I never would have done that a couple of months ago. I'm actually starting to make some friends! And they seem like decent people for once!

Today, I am proud of how I have been able to back off an give my daughter ther space she needs.

As difficult as it is, I've learned she is having a hard time letting me back into her life. I am very proud of myself for accepting that fact.

Well, one of my tried and true avoidance strategies was to learn anything and everything - so I didn't have to face the reality of being an aging, single sole supporting parent. I have finally given up on this unhealthy obsessive compulsive act and am giving away all the foreign language books and cds I've accumulated over the years which sat collecting dust. With PTSD and severe memory probs, the only language I need is English. I accept this limitation today and forever more.

That's a tough thing to recognize midi GOOD JOB!

I have always been a big kid at Christmas and love the whole spirit of giving that the holiday brings out in me.

To bad that as this holiday fades I forget this side of me. Gotta work on that, but now to what I am proud of today.

My mother has a friend who has very impaired vision, lives alone and has no family. This evening I picked her up and not only drove her around so she could see what ever she could of the holiday lights but then brought her to my home to enjoy our decorations and our tree. She and mother visited for a while and shared some laughs and some stories.

She offered to pay for my gas but I refused and explained that this was my Christmas present to her.

Am I proud? You bet your sweet ass I am. Feels go to give someone the gift of happiness. I hope you can feel this incredible feeling as well.

Do something nice for someone this season, even if you don't feel the holdiay spirit, there are others who wish they could

I'm proud I told my sister of my abuse even though i would rather isolate than try to repair the damage taken to our relationship by my abuser.

I am proud to be alive still. I'm proud that I get up after I fall. I'm proud that I can still love. I'm proud that I can forgive. I'm proud that I've been reading more lately. I'm proud that I joined this group. I'm proud that I've posted some photos. I'm proud that I took those photos. Am I too proud?
