Participants say they have been learning life lessons about maintaining their sobriety through the films they've been watching.
As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reported Thursday, doing just that was the key to beating alcohol addiction for one man. Now, a local treatment program is transforming lives, one film at a time."It gives them a chance to see potential benefits of recovery and consequences, without having to actually experience those consequences," said Bonnie Kimpling, senior counselor at the Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center.
"I learned so much about the nature of addiction - different kinds of addiction - but more importantly, I learned a lot of things about myself that I really kind of probably didn't want to deal with," Perkins said,"and thanks to the magic of film and that emotional connection that it gives you, I was able to sort of like lift myself out of a problem."
"It let me know the disease of alcoholism, it still exists - and that movie is a reminder you have to come to treatment," Jones said. The Recovery Movie Meet-Ups are also creating fellowship within communities at the same time. The public can also join the movie viewing and sessions.
