I was proud of my family and my life before alcohol took its toll ... now I am divorced and recovering and trying to regain my personal confidence

was proud of my Black Belt...and was still proud after the fall too, because all the training for the belt taught me how to fall in a manner to reduce the fall's damage...then I was proud of the way I fell....
strange as it may seem I am really very humble

Actually, pride goes before destruction
and a haughty spirit goes before a fall....
I was haughty about my new 5 inch Italian stiletto heels right before the fall.......

Darn it! That's what I was going to quote before I saw your details!
"Pride" suggests to me self-righteousness, even a faulty estimate of one's own virtues. Consider the synonyms: Boast, brag, crow, gloat. strut, vaunt. A few steps further--conceit, egotism, vanity.
You won't be surprised that I've never fallen.
Edit: Best not to confuse value, satisfaction or accomplishment with PRIDE....

I used to have rich friends during my high school days. Now there is no turning back with my new life. I have to struggle for a living.

My good health and independence; now I have a chronic and debilitating illness, and I'm forced to depend on others to help me with a lot that I used to do for myself. Sometimes it really sucks, but most times I'm grateful for the help.

I was proud of my cleverness.
I thought I was a player, but I was being played.
