Jillian came to Al-Anon the way most of us did—desperate for relief and fearful she didn’t belong. Jillian comes from generations of alcoholism and sexual abuse on both sides of her family and still, she was nearly convinced that she couldn’t possibly qualify to be in those rooms because neither of her parents drank. What kept Jillian coming back was the painful and healing realization that abstaining from alcohol doesn’t cure the family from the effects of alcoholism. Jillian’s 4th Al-Anon birthday will be on Mother’s Day. Her home meeting is an LBGTQ focused meeting in Los Angeles where she has been living for 15 years. However, during the pandemic she suddenly lost her home and found herself living in Saint George for a year. It was the first time Jillian had the opportunity to test the borderless support of our program and the significance of the Al-Anon Traditions. In Saint George she found a fellowship that sincerely welcomed her and ultimately saved her life and her relationship with her partner. Jillian currently lives in Los Angeles with her partner and angel-puppy Sage, where she is a yoga therapist and bodyworker for eating disorders and sexual trauma. She also leads all-inclusive corporate wellness programs and yoga retreats.
