I used to watch before I got sober 4 1/2 years ago. I think I liked it then because in a sick way I believed I wasn't as bad as them.
I watched a few episodes a couple of months ago and all I could see on the screen was my AW. I identified with the show way more than when I was drinking. It was pretty painful to watch the family members and think " hey that's me". But I never thought that when I was the one with the problem. Weird.
