Wow! I saw the movie Flight eight years ago and thought ok… Good movie. Well I just watched it again today and I CANNOT believe how much I get from the movie now that I’m watching it with recovery eyes! It addresses alcoholism, drug addiction, and everything that comes with it. Plus I just absolutely love Denzel Washington 
Sidenote: I wouldn’t recommend watching this if you’re still vulnerable to triggers.
I totally agree. He is a consummate actor. Love everything he does.
Really liked the end of that movie, too.
I do too! To finally take responsibility really speaks to me 
It took me a long time to grow up. Sobriety made that happen.
The only time I watched it I had no idea of the true nature of the film. I recall it was very stirring. I will definitely watch again now with my sober self. Thanks so much for the suggestion!!!
Going to have a go at it. Thanks for the tip!
I had the same experience with Flight. Watched while I was drinking and enjoyed it. Then I watched it again after I got sober and…whoa! Totally different perspective. I won’t give any spoilers but if anyone hasn’t seen it, it is worth a watch. In my opinion anyway
Just watched. Really liked it
@SassyRocks and @Andrewjb3810 ya it was kind of like watching it brand new. It was good back then but now when he said certain things I was like…Ha! I’ve said that! Or that’s the relapse I can moderate part of recovery… Just a great movie 
@undercoverkuscheltie and @Mno get your buttered popcorn and enjoy!
@anon89207786 I hope you closed your eyes at the naked lady part young man 
I watched it twice in recovery. Absolutely loved it, especially the words spoken at the end. 
I could totally relate to it and at times I nearly shouted at the screen “NOOOOOOO!”, thinking that’s the sort of thing I’d do. 
OMG @Piglet yes! I screamed nooooo at the screen when he left the little bottle of vodka in the hotel room and then he grabs it!! 
I’ve never seen it but I’ll have to check it out!
Yes you should 
It is powerful
I saw the title and thought you’d actually were on a flight with Denzel.
I once sat next to Jesse James, the motorcycle builder who was married to Sandra Bullock at the time. He just kinda scowled the whole flight, so I left him to his thoughts. Was a few months before his cheating scandal broke, so I’m guessing he was in a low place.
No but I was on a flight one time with Danny Glover He was nice.
I was one a flight with my mum once
Thanks for the recommendation, I had never heard of this movie and really enjoyed all of the ickyness relating to addiction, actually had a bit of a flashback she he was drinking in the car 
I thought the exact same which is why came in to the thread 
Have seen the film, thought it was really good, must give it another watch!
