| Humility is one thing...being proud of our accomplishments through sobriety is another!
I started taking college courses while I was still drinking...and was majoring more in Student Pub. After two semesters, I dropped out before they had a chance to suspend me!
It took six years sober through AA before I got up the courage to go back to school. And, then it took six years to earn a two-year Associate's Degree...all while taking a couple of courses a semester and working two jobs (also making AA meetings)...the 3.93gpa was well-earned, and no small accomplishment.
One of the proudest days of my life was to receive my diploma with my Mom, Daughter, and Grand Daughter in the audience. I may have been a late bloomer, but when I bloomed, I really blossomed...you can do whatever you set your sights on, as long as the goals are realistic!
