Not at all. I believe we have a few former drug addicts on this site, myself included. Sure, we can't be proud that we got ourselves into that situation in the first place, but we can be proud for getting ourselves out.
That's reassuring, cheers mate! You said it well, i'm ashamed of myself for getting into that situation but am proud of myself for breaking the cycle as very few seem to manage it. Generally when I do tell people they can be quite understanding but occasionally I get a very negative reaction. They way I see it everyone has a past, we've all made mistakes (in my case a very big mistake!) but its those mistakes which make us who we are today. We are the sum of our experiences.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan
