I go to Al-Anon, a 12-step program for family members and friends of alcoholics. ----Al Franken

Franni Franken: Campaign Ad When I was struggling with my recovery, Al stood right by my side and he stood up for me. After what we went through, Al wrote two beautiful movies. And he wrote them because he wanted to help people…. “

The other movie: “When A Man Loves A Woman”, 1994

Al Franken: One valuable thing I learned in Al-Anon is that you can learn stuff from people who aren't necessarily smarter than you. Which is kind of an obvious thing, but I didn't understand that.

Al Franken: I'd be in an Al-Anon meeting and I'd hear somebody say something and I'd be very judgmental and say, "Oh, that person's an idiot," and a month later that same person would say something that would touch me very deeply.

Al Franken: I was brought up to do well in school, and you learn from people who know more than you, and that's about it. So Stuart is kind of a character that people can learn stuff from, even though he's an idiot. For every hundred steps forward, he takes 99 backward, but he does end up one step ahead.

Al Franken: There's a part of me that's definitely Stuart … that's very lame, that worries I'll never live up to my expectations for myself and that I'm a lousy father. I worry about all sorts of stupid things I don't need to worry about. I have a real love for Stuart… And I think what's funny about him is just externalizing all this lameness I have inside me."

Questions to Ponder How much is Stuart’s family realistic or an exaggeration? Does it feel OK to laugh at the dysfunction? Does Stuart have a clinical psychological disorder? (Personality Disorder? PTSD/Trauma? Anxiety Disorder?…???)

Melody Beattie In all his struggles and innocence and sincerity, and dedication, Stuart made me laugh. He helped me see myself in a new light. He gave me hope. He helped me appreciate the Stuart in me. And that’s okay.
