How many people were forced to watch this in rehab?


I'll start the count--1!

No one else out there? I feel so solitary and alone.

Rehab is for wussies.

Am I to assume you've never fallen under the spell of addiction ?

Count 2 ;)

They made us watch Leaving Las Vegas. Movie was so depressing I wanted to top myself when it was over, but I stopped drinking, so maybe there was some good in there.

3, we weren't forced but it was one of the only movies in the lounge, it made me laugh so much because we were doing everything that they did in the movie.

God, grant me the serenity....

4. Not forced. But strongly encouraged. Leaving Las Vegas was banned because of the dismal end. I guess because that's the route we were all heading anyway.

I was never forced to see it and didn't see it rehab but I've been though rehab and this movie is a surprisingly accurate depiction of that experience. I've been clean for some time now and recently re-watched this movie. This time around I picked up on all the details I missed on the first time, and with clean time under my belt now the entire movie strongly reminds me of my own experiences. Excellent movie. Still can't bring myself to watch Leaving Las Vegas.

HA ha ha ha!!
I was forced to watch it twice!
Not very like my rehab, well apart form the abstinence part......

Years ago they let us watch Goodfellas in rehab. Not really a good movie to watch your second day in rehab. All that cocaine...

This was long before 28 days came out.

7. we were also forced to watch "the boost" "ordinary people", "clean and sober" and for some reason "Boys on the Side"

No dessert Jerri. Don't touch the dog. DON'T rub your feces on the lamp shade.

reply

The only reason I could see Boys on the Side being played at rehab is most likely because it deals with the subject of AIDS.
