Why Are You Proud Of Yourself?

My priorities have definitely been realigned this past few months! This is Jamie by the way. I was diagnosed with Graves disease in February and then one month later in March diagnosed with breast cancer so I had to go through all of the treatment by myself because no one was allowed in the hospital with me. The best part is, I'm now cancer-free and feel amazing!

Lots of quiet time. I didn't have to work every Saturday so got my rest. Downside of this is no overtime pay.

Why am I proud of myself? Lemme tell ya: from 2013 - 2015 I was addicted to methamphetamine and struggling to keep my job and pay for gas to get to work........Fast forward to 2020, I am 5 years clean, I have an associates & bachelors degree, am working on a masters in accounting/CPA, have a great full time job in my field at wonderful company and a loving husband who saw me through every painful/difficult moment along the way. To everyone struggling with addiction, I want them to know there is hope . It is AMAZING what 5 years can bring, I wanted to bring some hope to the click of six by sharing some real stuff today. :)

Here is what happened… as I was cooking dinner on the grill, with our food was almost done. I went out to retrieve the food off the grill and there was a loose board on the deck under the grill. I stepped on said loose board and u fell with my leg went through the deck and the grill, which thankfully the lid was shut, came flying over on top of me. So quick instincts I grab the grill lid to keep it from falling on me and to save the food. While that happened I had the tongues in my other hand and saved the propane tank, which was spitting our propane, from coming over on top of the grill and the whole thing igniting me, my deck and my family on fire. It was a very adrenaline filled night last night but I am just very thankful that nothing more happened.
