Nineteen years in Al-Anon since 11/14/1978, Jan comes from a long line of alcoholics and has married two or three of them - she has lost count.
"I was like a chameleon on a plaid skirt."
She even tried Maidenform bras to try and keep him sober.
In Texas Al-non they say,
"Trying to keep an alcoholic sober is like trying to teach a pig to sing.
It doesn't work and it just annoys the pig."
After years of living in the family dysfunction this disease fosters, she went to see a psychiatrist. All she could talk about was them whenever he asked, "Now tell me about you." until she finally opened up to another human being.
He suggested she belonged in Al-Anon and she started this journey.
She had such a resentment to God, she left Him out of her program but she kept coming back.
