Re: I did it, I did it.

[Guest guest]

Yayyy Bonnie! Wow you sound so strong, you are an inspiration! What

you endured must have been so rough, with detoxing and all. I've heard

that can be pretty brutal.

Your email is such an inspiration and brings a lot of hope to many!

Thank you for sharing!

Hugs,

Melody
