"No matter how many times I watch Kay's DVD or read her writings, her story is a powerful message that touches everyone. If there is one person who cannot find one thing to relate to Kay's story then I for one would be amazed. Since Kay has been a columnist for Recovery Times her powerful stories have touched the hearts and souls of many people. Keep up the wonderful work Kay."

"No amount of preaching or teaching can help people heal the way Kay's story can. She speaks with riveting honesty and clarity. Her underlying message - more powerful because it is unspoken - is If I can turn my life around, so can you."

Carolyn Shaffer, MA,CCHT

"Kay, listening to your story reminds the world that no matter what, we have the strength within us to overcome all that is presented to us by life and our choices through life. That, as a training ground, we go through rough times and can learn from it and share it with others. Thank you for having the courage to voice your experiences for all of us to hear and experience with you. The DVD's have helped many of my interns become aware of the journey of healing. Best wishes to you."

"I was recently blessed with a visit by Kay Kopit on my national radio talk show, Recovery Radio. Kay is a real-life miracle whose projects shed some much needed light as well as offer hope and inspiration for the millions who suffer from Codependency, an often misunderstood and very serious social disease of our civilization. I wish Kay continued success and know that because of her passion and what she is doing, global awareness will increase and therefore human healing of the mind, body and spirit will soar. It was my pleasure to share her wisdom, enthusiasm and inspiration with my listeners across the nation and around the world."

"Going on the premise that by staying silent we perpetuate the dysfunction and myths present within each of us, Kay Kopit uses this film as a tool to expose herself and her feelings about a difficult time in her life. She does so with honesty, directness, tears, humor and a sense of hope. By sharing her pain with the world she heals herself and gives others strength to do the same. A revolutionary way to use film. One experiences intimate, one to one contact with a real human being living in the 1990's. I found the film very personal and extremely poignant for our times."

"We harken back to a time when people sat in a circle and someone told a story.

"I Survived" demonstrates successfully that television can be used in that ancient form. The story is compelling, the storyteller a master, and the combination makes for a unique use of the medium. As a television program format, it opens the door to a new form of video realism. This format, which features primarily on camera narrative supplemented by photographs, certainly runs against the grain of contemporary types. There are no quiet edits or easy answers. What this program contains is depth and emotion. It is the true story of one woman's struggle with the problem of co-dependency, a problem facing many families in one form or another. It's real purpose is to move people towards healing, and it can accomplish that goal. "I Survived" is a case of "art imitating life" at its best."

Erin Brennan

"Once we got past the first 15 minutes and the shock of not seeing an action movie, we found ourselves glued to the television to listen to the whole story. Kay's presentation of her life as a co-dependent was full of emotions and true feelings one could relate to. We laughed, we cried, and couldn't get her story out of our minds for weeks. "I Survived" is very uplifting, encouraging and most of all healing."
