Gertrude Behanna
Author of book-The Late Liz, (was also made into a movie 1970's)
God isn't Dead !! AA Speech,
Who is the Alcoholic?? AA Speech Gertie's Prayer
Dear God
I ain't what I wanna be,
and I ain't what I'm gonna be,
and I sure ain't what I oughta be.
 But thank God I ain't what I used to be!!!
There is a line in my book that
I like very much and since
no one ever quotes it to me I have to quote it to them.
That line is: "(...Being Alcoholic) It was
as if we were Siamese twins --
one of whom must die that the other might live."

Gertrude Behanna was the only child of a Scotch immigrant who had become very wealthy.
She had her choice of all that is worldly from money to entertainment.
In an inimitable fashion she tells her highly personal story of alcohol, drug addiction,three broken marriages
and attempted suicide. Sunk to depths of  moral and physical misery, her body wracked by
psychosomatic illnesses, a  physician advised psychiatry, but strangely Gertrude turned to Christ, the "Great Physician."
At age 53 she discovered that God was not dead ... that through the miracle of Christ's divine love and power ... drugs, liquor and despair itself could be conquered. Her health regained, she has spent at least 15 years touring the country, telling her story, giving
hope and encouragement to thousands in all walks of life.
In quoting from her own book "The Late Liz," Gertrude Behanna says,
"In standing aside and looking back at this woman I used to be, it is more and more possible to detach myself, to
view her in third person. She was she and I am I; Siamese Twins perhaps, one of whom must
die that the other may live."
