Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana

Can I appeal a sentence if it was a Plea bargain? I was charged and convicted of a Class B Felony for selling less than a gram of Crack Cocaine. I am a Drug Addict that has 2 years Sobriety. I am just now finally coming out of the addiction I had. I can think better,my motor skills have improved , I realize that I am going to come back to being a normal person. I did not realize the addiction was so strong. I would have never committed the Crime of selling Crack because I was under the influence of my own addiction. I can only remember parts of what took place because of my being under the influence of Crack and Pain medicine. I am not the person who was wrapped up in a drug world. It has taken me 2 years to realize this. Is there anything that can be done?
