Thanks got it on record channel 5+1…:grin:

Just finished watching it. Good to hear those stories. Pretty poignant too.

Yes, I thought it missed out on how they got sober though.

Those documentaries often do. I always assumed it’s because people in AA dont normally broadcast it because of anonymity.

Great to see a programme like that on mainstream tv. If you can call 5 mainstream! :joy::joy::joy:
I think it will definitely make some people think. I know I would have if I hadn’t already

It went from boozed up Brits abroad to that.

I thought the Irish girl and guy with the beard spoke particularly well.

The broadcaster guy is a sad situation, I hope he finds his path soon.

Was that what was on before? :joy:

I related to the guy with the beard.
I remember Tina in Shameless.

Ooh thanks for letting us know… will watch on catch up this w/e

These TV shows always seem to take on too many people to make it personable/relatable. I agree with @NewPerspective Felix spoke well and Alison (the Irish girl) was bang on with the whole Irish Stigma.

Being Irish in Glasgow I totally identified with her, it is expected that you can drink more than them, and they can bloody drink here so you had to drink a lot to meet their expectations :joy:

Watched it :+1:

Never mind found it now :slight_smile:

Tonight - Drinkers like me - BBC2 - quite interesting watching Adrian Chile’s take on his drinking.

Is it any good? Was flicking around and saw it but decided to go to bed instead.
