What Made Me Stop Drinking: Four Stories
1 online resource (1 video file, approximately 33 minutes) : digital, .flv file, sound
An intimate and revealing look into the lives of four people who are addicted to alcohol. Four very different individuals tell their stories ... a lawyer who wanted to stop his kids from being afraid of him; a first nations man, who wanted the pain of belonging to an underprivileged part of our population to stop and to feel strong; a young woman who drank because it made her feel better about herself; and, a woman who grew up in a privileged home, who attended a private school, who never had to go without anything she wanted, and was simply a party girl who wanted a good time but didn't realize what she was in for. All four finally faced a brutal reality - that their lives and health were falling apart. The stories are brought to life by personal interviews with the four subjects and with Susan Diamond Potts - M.A., RCC, who holds a masters in clinical psychology and who specializes in treating alcohol addiction. She adds her informative and intense professional contribution to the program.
