Not sure if this has been posted before. It is a 7 minute trailer for an incredibly sad documentary about a woman named Bette who died of alcoholism. It is a real eye opener and I hope it helps any of you that are on the fence about getting sober.

A tragic story, soberween. I was headed there myself. I'd like to see the rest of the documentary. Thanks for posting it.

That's almost PRECISELY the vision I had of my future when I quit drinking. I could see it as vividly as that video.

Thank God I had that moment of clarity.

There's an English one, Rain In My Heart available on Youtube, also quite sad, but it hit home for me, it's in ten 10-minute parts. This link is to part 1, the others should all be in the right hand sidebar once you log in to youtube:

Be warned. there are some pretty graphic scenes in this, it doesn't pull many punches...

I meant of Rain in my Heart, the entire film.
This trailer is so sad, what a horrible death.

"You nearly killed yourself from boredom. That's a very small word for a very big act...."

This is AMAZING.

Rain in my Heart is hitting me so viscerally. I'm nauseated. Holy CRAP. :'(

I think Rain in my Heart should be required for all kids in high school to watch.

Wow, that's a depressing documentary! Speaking for myself, I wouldn't have listened. I never gravitated towards crime, but I remember in high school being showed "Scared Straight." If I had a propensity for crime, I don't know if that would have swayed me.

Oh Lordy.

After watching the Bette trailer the only thing I can say is that im so thankful that I have decided to put the bottle down and make that attempt to live a sober clean life....day 24 for me....

After watching the trailer I do NOT want to see the whole documentary. I know how it'll go and I don't want to subject myself to such misery and depression. I'm just glad I quit drinking when I did. Wouldn't want to put my family thru that.

Wow, that was heartbreaking. Very rare I shed a tear but that really got to me, it is so sad

Massive respect to the people in this documentary who allowed the cameras into their lives. I can relate to a lot in that film.
