Kudisanga 380 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Well done mate! I know the effects of addiction can do in a person. One childwood friend passed away with a drug overdose and i have another one which is sad to say but waiting the same fate with alcohol, no matter what family and friends do he always go back. He was diagnosed with liver disease…… Congratulations and keep up with living well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silenttigercd 863 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yesterday marked 18 months dry and 1 year without cigarettes! Things have got so much easier and I'm starting to appreciate the simple things in life, for the first time. I wanted to add to my AA coin collection but unfortunately 18 month coins are not made in the "speciality range" that I like and I'm completely underwhelmed with the shitty bronze they use to make it. There's also been a six month wait for the coin, whereas before that I was buying one every month. It's been a long wait to end up with a POS coin! To ease my disappointment I decided to buy this display case and wanted to share it here. You can see all the coins from the first year are bright and colourful, the 1 year coin is gold and silver plated (the photo really doesn't do it justice). The 18 month is just pathetic and dull. Still, I'm really happy with the display and look forward to completing it later in life. To highlight just how shit the 18 month coin is, these are coins from the speciality range that I plan to add to my collection: 2 Year Classic Black Tri Plate 3 Year Mandarin Red Tri Plate 4 Year Midnight Blue Tri Plate I actually hope it will look more like this: 5 Year Gold Plate 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Good stuff Tiger, don't let the looks of the coin bother you, just remember what it represents. 2 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

silenttigercd 863 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks Hatch! I have been obsessing on the looks and ignoring what I've achieved. It's amazing how a single sentance can change your perspective on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silenttigercd 863 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 I just found out I'll be graduating with an upper second law degree! I achieved a grade of 68.25 overall. 70 would have been first class. Rather frustrating but I tried my hardest so feel very happy and proud of myself! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryannosaurusRex 1,173 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Well done mate. It's not easy to get marks that high without putting a lot of time and effort in. You should be proud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALJ 541 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 As someone who has dealt with addiction i know its not easy, not just being sober but living a regular life after an addiction. You've come so very far and its all because of your determination. Congrats Tiger! 2 Quote One day the sadness will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyB 2,086 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Congrats Tiger! Exactly as Hatch said, it's what it represents and most people (luckily) will never know how strong you have been and how hard it was to achieve what you have. Most (ignorant) people would laugh but it truly is like an average person deciding to hike Everest without any training. Stay strong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
