Yay! I just got my scores back from a state teaching test I took and I scored really high, and to think, I was worried about not passing! I scored the highest score possible on the writing which makes me really happy. This was kind of a big deal for me because one of my fears in recovery is not being “as smart as I thought I was when I was on drugs.” In college I used A LOT (all day, everyday) of speed to write every paper and take every test so I have this irrational fear that I am not smart enough to do any kind of academic work without drugs. I realize this is insane because speed probably kept me down a lot academically but I got really good grades in college so I thought the two went hand in hand. This is my first “proof” that I don’t need that shit. I’m okay on my own.
