Thank You

Thank you to everyone for all the support. Steve and I are really pleased with the show, and are grateful to have been a part of it. I have been following the discussion threads on Oprah.com today, and there are women coming forward and talking about their drinking; this is such an important first step.

I really appreciate all your comments - thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm looking forward to settling back in to our little routine here, and moving ahead one day at a time.

    Hi Ellie - we actually worked together a few years ago in Boston (I was an Administrative Assistant to a Recruiter who worked down the hall from your office). I was really surprised to hear about your appearance on Oprah and the addiction you've battled. I wanted to let you know that I think you're incredibly brave for coming forward with your story in such a public forum. I'm certain your story is one that will inspire other people to seek help and find comfort in the knowledge that you were able to get well. I'm a Stay at Home Mom now, too, and can relate to the challenges and guilt that come along with day to day life. I just wanted you to know that your story touched me....and also, your jewelery is beautiful!

    Hi Ellie! I just finished watching Oprah & I must say, you were so amazing! I think it is so courageous for you to go on national television like that and to speak about something so personal. I myself am not an alcoholic but many years ago I dated a man who was. It was very hard. I felt myself able to connect to what Steve was saying.
