Anyone seen this movie? I watched it last night and could really relate.

It's about a Country entertainer who's an alcoholic, life spiraling downward. He finds clarity.

It was both heart-wrenching and heart-warming. I'd recommend it!

I watched it this weekend with my RAH. I thought it was great. One interesting moment... When she does not take him back and closes the door, my RAH said, 'gee, that's sorta harsh. I bet he starts drinking again.' I looked at him and said, 'if he was in recovery just to get her back, not for himself, maybe.' He stuck his tongue out at me... Since my RAH first went into recovery because I told him to get out of my life if he didn't, this is an ongoing convo with us... "Is it for you, or because you don't want to lose me?" Blah blah blah...

I loved her line that having him around was like living with a rattlesnake. So, so true.
