5.0 out of 5 stars Frank A. -- Sober Alcoholic, March 29, 2007

Fantastic. I have been sober for 7 years. As an alcoholic in recovery I have read and studied an awful lot about this topic. Unlike any single item I've read, listened to, or watched this documentary covers this disease from every angle. When clean and sober we addicts don't ask for sympathy just understanding. This documentary shows how those we affected need the same. If you are having a problem or are a family member; please get this and watch it. If you are in the health field or a friend of someone in trouble; please get this and watch it. I you feel like alcoholics should just have a couple and stop; please get this and watch it. What a great job they did educating us all on this disease. Thank you guys for such a great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last...., March 26, 2007

This is a long overdue documentary. It's phenomenal in that it covers almost every aspect of addiction there is including the ER perspective and the challenges with health insurance.

As a healthcare professional, I am frequently astounded by the response I receive when I ask patients what they have lost as a result of their addiction. While the responses range from jobs to cars and money, the room often becomes a lot quieter when the responses include children, families and identity. - This documentary hits on those difficult issues and several others which are present today and continue to present challenges for patients, families and healthcare providers. There is a long way to go - this documentary is a nice step forward.

5.0 out of 5 stars america's struggle, March 18, 2007

this is an incredibly powerful documentary that looks at addiction from many different angles. it's about time light has been shed on the subject- light that can burn anyone and then fade out before you know it.
millions of americans struggle with addiction and most of them can't get help. chances are, you're affected by addiction in one way or another (yourself, a friend, a family member..) and this documentary does a fantastic job at helping to remove the stigmas from the disease and show the struggles on the way down as well as up. i think america as a whole should be forced to watch this film- it's unparralled.
