Dr. Tian Dayton: Founder of Alanon, Lois W's Life Starring Wynona Ryder

Still Waters

Wow, I'd love to see that! Thanks!

Spiritual Seeker

Lois Wilson was one of the 20th century's most important women.
Her tireless efforts and vision made Al-Anon the organization it is today.
It continues to attract members through its message of hope and renewal.

I am grateful. Al-Anon gives me the courage to change the things I can
and accept the rest.

CAPTAINZING2000

make sure, we keep bumping this up or, I'll forget about it

Spiritual Seeker

I am not a big Wynonna Ryder fan, but a huge fan of Lois W.
Therefore, I look forward to the telling of Lois' story.

Bill W. it's no secret, was a philanderer all his life. Had a mistress living up the road. I wonder if they'll be honest in this movie!

Please bump the morning of, because I WILL FORGET. :-)

Pelican, thanks for bumping this - I missed the original post.

I heard a clip on the radio yesterday and I cringed. It was of Winona crying saying I'll fight for you till the very end. I hope they show the reality that WE can't do it for them... I hope they don't portray it as a powerful love story or that love saved him. We all know love is not enough when it comes to addiction.

Thanks for the reminder

CAPTAINZING2000

I'm curious how much in love she was as opposed to being a codie!

Thanks for posting!! I saw it advertised and then had forgotten all about it, I will be sure to watch now,

Spiritual Seeker

Al-anon and AA still offered for free all over the world.
Another example that some of the best things in life are free.

I just watched the trailer for this movie. I will need my tissue box(es) tonight

I will have to set the vcr...yes, I am old school.

CAPTAINZING2000

what did every one think of the movie?

MissFixit

It made me sad watching her.

I thought they did not emphasize the codependency thing enough.

Pelican

I liked it.
I appreciated the honesty that alcoholism affects the whole family.
I appreciated the honesty that alcoholism creates great loss financially and emotionally.
I appreciated the honesty that sobriety doesn't fix everything.

I thought there were some really good scenes that showed the raw emotion.
