Thinking a documentary that touched only on the worst and focused on the best, wouldn't attract as many viewers. Such is the pathetic world we live in. Just about to finish Jason Vale's book, has put a whole new perspective on alcohol for me...the disease, the industry, and the types of people who use it. A divorce proved to be my cliff into addiction. Working very hard to be mindful of what alcohol took from me and what a life without it, can restore.Tams62https://www.blogger.com/profile/01780445920264611084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-19308965054074713652016-01-17T05:24:25.262-08:002016-01-17T05:24:25.262-08:00The sober celebs calendar was A Hangover Free Life...The sober celebs calendar was A Hangover Free Life, and I too loved all the positive messages.Groundhog Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896347749384197279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-50049732172841213982016-01-17T04:51:21.279-08:002016-01-17T04:51:21.279-08:00Your post about the obstacle course sealed the dea...Your post about the obstacle course sealed the deal :)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689305623130443411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-11301040500423362902016-01-17T03:52:27.548-08:002016-01-17T03:52:27.548-08:00I think the guy who was a few days sober had been ...I think the guy who was a few days sober had been AF for 4 years but'd had a relapse?

In fact, I am careful, at 10 months, to not read too much that describes the drinking and more of what describes the life that emerges after sobriety, even in blogs. I have sometimes wondered why people will tell and re-tell their lowest moments. I hope you help produce the documentary about life transformation because I have an astounding story and it's ALL GOOD! But I do think that the program was valuable because it brought to light more examples of how alcohol can ruin anyone's life. I don't thing alcoholism is a disease that has been inherited but is inside every one of us just waiting for the perfect conditions to drag us sneakily into the abyss. I'm sure of it because if it could happen to me it really could happen to anyone. Was it you that did the sober calendar at Christmas? Somebody could do a show like that with all sorts of people talking about the freedom and opportunity that awaits when you put down the glass. I am so glad I found your blog!

Personally I do identify with the word alcoholic but maybe it is just that it is familiar to me so easy to relate to. I don't know about the whole born with it, genetic, family history, disease etc labels and for me I am not sure it matters. All I know is I have lost the ability to drink 'normally' and therefore can never have a drink ever or just one. I understand that the word alcoholic means different things to different people and many associate it with the low bottom, lost everything drunk whereas for me it is anyone who has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. One of my friends tries to be supportive of me the poor drunk [said tongue in cheek] but the irony is when she goes out she has no off button and even though I am the daily drinker, she only does it once or twice a month, therefore she doesn't have a problem. Would I point this out to her, no, cos once when I alluded to it she laughed at the ridiculousness. I will go on camera in the NEW movie you are all gonna do ;-)Groundhog Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896347749384197279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-80728541335323394142016-01-17T01:42:14.146-08:002016-01-17T01:42:14.146-08:00I enjoyed it.

I agree that there could have / should have been more focus on how 'normal' drinkers are actually alcohol addicts and there were none I associated with except maybe the gp. What also interested me was the bit at the end saying how long they had been sober for - wasn't it only a few days for one of them? I think there is definitely a need for a different type of documentary about the evil wine witch but wonder if anyone would want to put themselves out there....Edinburgh Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507850075300916316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-75890878083359845372016-01-17T00:10:22.253-08:002016-01-17T00:10:22.253-08:00I'll mail you, WB!

(By that I mean, drinking in the morning etc). I think the focus in the media now needs to be more aimed at the problem drinkers who think it's normal to drink away the stresses of life. Who think that there is something wrong with them because they are so miserable and can't see that the one thing they are doing to numb the misery is only exacerbating it!!!. And, as you have pointed out already, to focus on the wonderful life that is to be gained from sobriety.<br />Mrs Nearly 3 weeks here and loving what I see already XMrs Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599403624885764953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-91811137014021399682016-01-16T14:46:41.336-08:002016-01-16T14:46:41.336-08:00So agree.
