Thanks soberwolf. Watched it. Very moving and inspiring. Was amazed when one woman admitted that she used to sit in the supermarket toilet pouring vodka into water bottles then disposing of the bottle in the sanitary bin. This was me a month ago and I used to think I was so clever to have thought of it. Day 12 for me and getting stronger 😊

I used to do that too, usually with Coke or blackcurrant bottles though

Watching it now, missed the first 25 minutes though, I'm sure it will be on again another day a very interesting watch though so far!

Thanks Soberwolf. Just watched it. I thought I was the only person who used to top up soft drink bottles with vodka in public toilets and dispose of the empty vodka bottle in the same way! On my 19th sober day and very grateful to SR and AA for the support that has been generously given to me.

Watching this on plus one. So glad to see this horrible disease get the exposure it needs from "normal" citizens. I especially loved the quote "no one understands an alcoholic unless they are an alcoholic" - this to me is very true.

Is it on youtube or netflix?

Soberwolf

You can catch it here if it doesn't play il try & find a YouTube version later if its available as it only came on last night

I watched it thought it was brilliant. Totally related to so many things in it.
I hope a lot of people that don't suffer this disease see it as most are quick to criticise. I also think health professionals could learn more by watching this and understanding addiction isn't something that you can just say no to.

Soberwolf

Well said Kailey

And for anyone who can't access the content here is a promo its only 3 minutes I'm still trying to find the full doc on YouTube but no joy yet

It's on Demand 5 on the internet, a great programme, I recommend it. Not all about AA either, about half of the people choose another way of recovery. My alcohol worker knows John off it.

Good stuff James

Hercules

Great documentary.... Needs to be more in the Main Stream media as alcoholism is a major problem in the uk...

Soberwolf

Thanks Hercules
