SEEKING MOVIE TITLES RE ALCOHOLISM/ADDICTION

[Monica]

Hi, Anyone got any good movies to recommend re addiction/alcoholism? (Or point me to previous posts/threads re same). I don't care whether they're true stories or otherwise - I always find them grounding, inspiring and a good reminder of what I could lose. Have read a heap of books on quitting and feel like watching some movies with a similar theme. Day 20 AF and doing OK.

Hi Mon

I watched Smashed which i thought was just brilliant and also Flight with Denzel Washington, another goodie. I will try and think of some more. Youtube has some great ones on alcoholics.

Congrats on 20 days, well done!

Who's afraid of virginia wolf is a classic but I don't know if I would call it inspiring!

The old Jack Lemmon Classic, "Days of Wine and Roses" is always a good one to watch.
"The Lost Weekend" with Ray Milland is also good.

Going to re-visit this one NS :thumbs:
Was not on the slippery slope / didn't relate to it when I last watched it

I could barely stand to watch it last February but I forced myself to do it and was glad I did.

Very sad but I'll never forget the opening line "i can no longer drink in safety"
