Haven't been posting for a while, but I have been thinking of you all.  Especially after this week, which marks my 3rd year.  I just came back from vacation with my family- it was great...but the reason I am posting is to remind myself that this week, in 2006, I hit bottom and terrified my peeps by having a seizure on the beach (wellbutrin and sudden stoppage of alcohol dont mix-  even if I was trying to use our vacation as a way of quiting drinking...smile.gif.   I spent a week in Southampton Hospital (only the best- wry joke).   Every year that brings me farther from that horrible summer is a gift....

I am grateful for this site...and for you all....who help me stay sober.   BG

Hi There,

Congratulations,

I agree, Gift of Despiration, I recall that too. I tied a ribbon and around it and saved it securely, so it would help keep me just a little safer in this battle with this disease.

Here's to happy days ahead!

Hugs,

Toni

Props to you young lady. 3 years is something to be be very proud of...in fact it's an eternity for some of us.

Was your experience on the beach the inspiration for your name? So you'll never forget your bottom? If not you should say it was anyway...it's a good story wink

It was indeed the inspiration for my name- or "de-speration" if you will...neither the beach, nor the girl will ever be the same......smile.gif BG
