Well, I've just managed to watch the whole thing. Just wondering if others have watched it and what their thoughts are?

Right now I'm a little shell shocked and not sure what to think :S

I watched it, and it scared the crap out of me!

The mind on alcohol is baffling to me. It seemed to me that they gave up on them selves.

Very sad. I am soooo thankful that many recover.

Thankful for the recovered friends here.

It was very well done and very upsetting. I still google some of them sometimes. The 40 something year old woman died after the show. Mark is still sober apparently?

Anyway it still kind of haunts me.

I've seen it mentioned here several times but never watched it until tonight. I was going to only watch an episode or two at a time, but once I started, I couldn't stop watching. The way Nigel looked, with the terribly swollen legs and feet is how I remember my father looking shortly before he died. I believe this documentary is a must-see for everyone who either is an alcoholic or loves one. It truly will open your eyes to what alcoholism is and what it can do.

I watched it too very powerfull. The disease dosen't care how old you are Toni was way to young to die.

This was hard to watch. Should watch it anytime you think about drinking again.
Alcohol is such a liar. You think it is a retreat a place of peace that is really sucking you into hell.

Wow...how stupid I have been.

I just watched most of it. Couldn't finish it though...started to make me feel sick and sad and I don't know what else. I'm so glad that I'm taking the reigns on my life now.

It's a very good documentary, but doesn't sugar coat any of this disease. I haven't seen it in awhile... I did watch it at an early stage of recovery though, and it was an eye opener.

It's important to have hope, you're never too 'far gone' to start, and it's possible to change if you have commitment and be sure to ask for help when you need it. I also had to start believing I was worthy of recovery, that it was possible to start afresh, every loss from this disease is a tragedy and sad loss of potential as this program testifies.
