Man, that was a brutal movie. That should be shown in high schools for juniors and seniors...and maybe in college as well.

Best deterrent any alki's ever going to get is by watching the examples set by recovered people who've been where he or she is now yet now have a kick-butt life being recovered. The responsibility to help a "budding alcoholic" falls on those of us who've recovered from alcoholism. That's part of our duty (I think) as recovered alki's.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Alcoholism is a vicious disease and I lost my grandfather to it. Hopefully, he is in a better place.
I also wanted to say that I just watched Rain in My Heart thanks to this post and how moving and powerful was that! Yes, I do believe it should be shown. I could identify with those in the film and it hit home for me as to how I felt when I did drink. It was soooo depressing because it was true. You see them sober and then when they are drinking how out of control they become. I was one of those folks and I am in recovery now. It is never to late to quit.
