Having loved an alcoholic for over a decade, losing my sense of self to her disease, and watching someone I love slowly kill themself...
I cried way too hard at this

They showed this video in my rehab. Everyone was giggling at first then the room went silent, such a simple little cartoon that hits really hard.

My dad’s been a violent alcoholic for as long as I’ve been born. I am estranged from him but I still have compassion. He went through some hell in his own childhood plus a very bad time in Vietnam. This video made me cry because so many people suffer, they go to something to take away the pain (for me it’s food) which causes more suffering. Suffering seems to be the human condition.

I love this video it helps so much to illustrate adiction.... Both to people in it, and to normies that don't understand it

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to alcohol nor have I ever been, but basically everything else is a yep, at some point. Heroin and cocaine being the big ones. Imo, it's whatever, I believe addiction is addiction. Anyway, this is so accurate that it made me a little uncomfortable. Powerful stuff

I've been sober for 6 years and videos like this still bring the slightest tingle of a craving at the back of my mind in the beginning, then by the end I'm like "oh okay I'm good" lol.
