There's a wonderful program on the Australian TV channel SBS right now called Secrets and Lies: The Last Chance Saloon - Alcoholism. It's about a bloke called Brian Cox, a hard core alcoholic who, thanks to AA, has been sober for 20 years. Brian set up and runs his own sober house with no outside help or Government funding, he takes in people kicked out of more traditional rehabilitation centres.

It's a great program and Mick, although a bit of a mad *******, has a heart of absolute gold.
