  • One of the post popular Al-Anon slogans is the "three C's" which Ellen talks about in such a powerful way in this talk. It was recorded just a few months ago and she is absolutely wonderful to hear. I really like this message because it is uplifting and freeing at the same time. For anyone who has alcoholism in the family, it is such a challenging and draining circumstance. Thanks to the Al-Anon Family groups and people like Ellen, there is a way to be restored to sanity!

    Ellen L. passed away early this am due to a brain aneurysm. She was sharing her experience, strength and hope in Amarillo, Texas when she collapsed 3 minutes into her talk. She was a great example of working a program along with her husband. Southern California is sad today in the loss of this very special woman.

    As a long-time member of both Al-Anon & ACA programs I hear Ellen's story and know the pain and disruption alcohol caused. When she talks recovery I listen - when she goes into some screaming, garbled Jerry Lewis impersonation to describe a feeling or past situation, she loses me.
    I appreciate humor and have laughed many times in a meeting but think about how this might sound to a terrified newcomer who hears that loud screaming comedy performance. We all need to hear the truth, experience and hope of those in the program, Ellen is who she is, and her share is Her's not mine. I listen and take what I need and leave the rest.

      There are different styles of meetings that are more workshop oriented that u may find the recovery richness you seek.trust an alcoholic is by spiritual design.a new comer can NOT be beat out of the program by any person,word,or tone.

    did cause it. can cure it. no higher power to throw the responsibility toward. its you alone that can change and you alone who is responsible for the change.
