To the Adult Children of Alcoholics
who have taught us so much about the
strength of the human spirit
and to those ACOAs who have turned their pain
into the gift of helping others to heal.
FROM JANE:
My loving husband, John R. Fletcher,
the wind beneath my wings,
My brother, Alex E. Ward, who was always there for me, and
The memory of my parents, Jane and Bill,
who never had the opportunity to recover from alcoholism
or heal their painful wounds of the past. I thank them for the
gifts they gave me and for doing the best they could.
FROM LORIE:
The memory of my two brothers, David and Bill Dwinell,
and to my mother Betty Lou Archer.
Mom, I so desperately wish there had been avenues
for healing childhood wounds when you were the age many
of the readers of this book will be. In the face of
tragic losses and abuse, you tried so hard to heal and
not be broken by your history. God knows you tried
and tried again and I admire you for that.
IN MEMORY
Janet Geringer Woititz,
a giant in the ACOA field, whose books on
children of alcoholics and alcoholic families have
touched and are continuing to touch
the hearts of millions.
Della Hill, Judalon Jeffries, Vera Manuel,
and Dr. Rudolph Moz, who dedicated their careers
to working with ACOAs, alcoholic families, and
families affected by generational trauma.
DAUGHTERS OF THE BOTTLE
until i was twenty-two
i didnt think anyone else
had a drunk for a mother
then i met lori, joanie, and susan
i recognized them immediately
by their stay-away smiles
they were leaders in their work
competent imposters like me
who would say they were sorry
if somebody bumped into them on a crowded street
i call on them once in a while
they always come
children of alcoholics always do
Jane Middelton (Moz), from Juggler in a Mirror, 1980
