Sending good wishes and a full recovery for Liza. (MINNELLI *not* "The Headache").

I'm glad she's one who seeks help when she needs it, and I'm sorry that she needs it.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Interesting discussion with Chris Hayes about the success of AA. Little data as anonymity is at the core of the program.
I have a family full of addicts (some recovered successfully through AA) - addiction SUCKS~

Like you, I have a lot of addiction in my family, and in my experience, those who view sobriety as a lifelong work in progress often fare the best. So it's wonderful that Minnelli continues to work on her sobriety and approaches setbacks by getting treatment. I wish her nothing but the best.

I wasn't going to add this to such a respectful thread, but some of the commentary on this in social media, FB in particular, has been despicably insensitive, even cruel. Needless to say, pointlessly so, as Minnelli has never demonstrated arrogance, hypocrisy or anything close to indifference to addiction as a disease or a lifelong personal struggle. If anything, her honesty and vulnerability have bordered on heroic. I don't think that's hyperbole.
It's the nature of our culture perhaps to kick anyone and everyone when challenged. But stepping back, the bigger issue here is the strange ambivalence about addiction. When a Houston or a Hoffman dies, the outcry generally runs in the direction of "why didn't someone help them?" I heard it repeatedly, a kind of generic finger pointing at the immediate circle and the society at large. And often the individual who died (Winehouse comes to mind.) Anyone who has dealt with addiction in their family -- and I have on two levels, a generation before and a generation after me -- knows that death is always possible. Always.
We are appalled when the warning signs seemingly go unheeded. And yet at least some of us too often giggle and find comedy in shallow commentary when the warning signs are dealt with responsibly, as Minnelli has. Sadly, perhaps that binary response -- anger when it's too late, and glib indifference when it's seriously addressed -- seems part of who are are.

Oh Pal Joey, you made me tear up...Judy looked beautiful...
Liza Mae has been very lucky. She just needs a good tune-up. I can't believe she will
be 70 years old next year.
