The images we see on the screen are powerful, but more often what we see are pro-alcohol messages in the media – ‘funny’ memes, advertisements and people generally looking like they are having a wonderful time drinking. It can be really frustrating, especially if you want to turn on the TV to distract yourself from cravings. These films present a different side of alcohol use – and addiction as a whole. Some listed here are more focused on other drug use, but the message and the emotions behind them is recognisable for anyone struggling with addiction.  What is your favourite film?
