I heard 28 Days with Sandra Bullock is good. Funny coincidence, I just DVRed it this afternoon when it was on tv and I plan to watch it tomorrow.

Barfly, Leaving Las Vegas, Lost Weekend, The Verdict are all good ones, too.

Clean and Sober, Michael Keaton
You Kill Me, Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson
Shattered Spirits, Martin Sheen

Netflix streaming has some good movies. Enter alcoholism, or addiction, in search bar if you have Netflix.

I recently watched Dennis Weaver in Cocaine, One Man's Seduction, through the Netflix streaming, and it was very powerful.

When I start thinking of returning to drinking just the memory of the film "Leaving Las Vegas" makes me cringe...why oh WHY would I ever want to repeat that

How about "The Man With the Golden Arm" or "I'll Cry Tomorrow". There's also a fine movie about Billie Holiday.
