Wow! That is pretty powerful and hits home on many points. The mental health field is surely lacking in its role. I found myself weeping about one third of the way through until the end. Day 8 or something deeper? I think a bit of both.

I found this and clicked on it after the ten clips. He has some good knowledge regarding addictions and where they come from.

Watched clips 1 to 6 last night (will watch the rest later).

Wow, in total agreement with those who have said everyone should be exposed to this documentary be it alcoholics, 'normal' drinkers, non-drinkers, kids, adults... everyone. The message of what alcohol can really do to people needs to get out there. Sick of how alcohol is marketed, promoted and sugar-coated. Our Governments have a lot to answer for.

I could relate to quite a lot in the documentary too. Ended up in tears, not only due to the plight of those in the film, but due to what it triggered off for me about my own life in the past. Actually feel as if I made some important links due to watching the clips that I hadn't previously identified.

Powerful stuff. Thanks for posting the links.

Thank you for posting I watched this one night a few months ago and I cried and thought someday if I don't quit this I am going to be in that shape. How sad to think a drink is that important to us that we look away and say that won't happen to me. Here I am back and trying so hard to stay sober again and I do know that even when I was drinking I would think about this.
Thanks again!!

Thank you for mentioning these. I watched them probably about a year ago, when I was a few months sober. I think watching these cracked my denial....especially the part with the poor guy who left the hospital and was guzzling wine and the throwing it up. I think my thought at the end was 'Yep, this stuff can kill you'.

Thank you for sharing these videos. Heart wrenching, just heart wrenching. It's scary how much I can relate to Mark... the panic attacks, the feeling of hopelessness, the feeling of being unloved, the feeling of being unsupported. I was also drinking wine that way. Sometimes two bottles per day. And many times I contemplated taking a bottle of pills or cutting my wrists. My heart goes out to these people in pain, and the families that have to helplessly watch. Depression causes the drinking and the drinking causes more depression.

'Depression causes the drinking and the drinking causes more depression'. That is so very true. I never had an issue....I hated drinking. I had an alcoholic father whom I hated because of what he was. I had kids and became depressed, maybe it was post partum depression I don't know, too late now, but that's when the depression started and I started drinking a little more here, and a little more there.....then a major traumatic event happened in my life which drinking was my way of forgetting and BAM, I was hooked.

Thank you so much for posting these videos. Seeing what happens to these people is a major eye opener. I have watched the first four, but wanted to post my thank you.
