The Anonymous People (2013)
You should see the movie before you comment
I went to see this movie with a dozen or so folks in recovery. Maybe that was the difference for us. We understood what was being said. Can you imagine a time when it is a matter of pride to say "I am in recovery?" Not I am an alcoholic, addict...but in recovery. Which is kept secret. Yes you can share your status with friends and fellow addicts in meetings. Yes, you can tell anyone you choose, but face facts, there is shame in being an addict and sadly that shame follows into the hardest won achievement of our lives: recovery. The movie celebrates recovery and encourages us to leave the shame behind with the active addiction and instead celebrate our changes and accomplishment of recovering from near death at the hands of alcohol or other drugs.
