Good movie, nice to see the history. I really connected to parts of it from my own drinking history. I actually got choked up.

Excellent acting by Woods and Gardner.

My favorite scene is when Bill is trying to explain his
drinking to Lois......
I think it's about 12 minutes into the film...tho my time line might be off.

When Bill takes the pull off the flask in the car just to keep well in order to go in to see his father in law was very painful for me. I don't know how many times I did the same thing. A very good movie. Very movie of the week, but every alcoholic should see it. The insanity of Bill and Lois camping out while Bill chases down leads, the holiday party when Bill semi - "cheats" on Lois, when Bill stumbles through the streets, the arrival of the Oxford Group....I could go on and on...good stuff.

Absolutely, Carol! the end of that scene, when he says something to the effect of, "you want to know the crazy thing? All i want right now is a drink." (Not a direct quote). ..sent chills down me. Great scene!
