My experience of drinking, taking drugs, etc is based on my lack of care for myself caused by not thinking and feeling that I can do anything on this planet. I.e. After drinking and taking drugs since I was 15 years old I suddenly felt my inner self screaming at me to “care for me”. I realized that I thought…we’ll everyone drugs and takes drugs so I can to cause it makes me feel better. I had zero self esteem and when I realized this i stopped and took care of myself. My self talked to me and I became and felt stronger in my esteem … more than I ever did.

Learning to tell myself the right things has been life changing. I used to tell myself I was many negative things that I wasnt. I'm now 15 steps away from being an anonymous kidney donor through Mayo. I feel like I'm about to jump from an airplane with a parachute. I've never done that. I'm not a thrill seeker by all means. But I'm doing this as much for myself as for the donor I may never meet. I am afraid. But I will face this fear on my own terms. My life is in my hands now. And I will risk it in order to save another.

I am very "HAPPY" for you. Ego and Pride are sometimes down falls.
