Well it is great and has opened up a hole new world of TV at our figure tips that we did not have prior so we have been watching a few shows that we would not of other wise of heard of.
One of these shows in called "Shameless" a show starring William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher an alcoholic who spends his time scheming his way to more drugs and alcohol while his 6 kids try their best to cope with raising themselves, each other and pressures of society.
It didn't bother me, and i still don't think it does, but at the same time this weekend has been a little different, I've had feelings i haven't had in a while, feelings like I'm missing something as if i want a drink!
I have know way of knowing if it had anything to do with the show or i was just having a off weekend but at the same i can't rule it out. One of my biggest ideology's to help with recovery is to train my brain that drinking alcohol and especially drinking alcohol expressively is not the norm and to distance myself from it as much as possible for at least the foreseeable future.
Watching TV shows & Movies with excessive drinking, drug taking or general lack of responsibility can big time hinder your recovery, you may not know it at the time and you may not think anything of it before watching something that may impact on you negatively. I do think it effected me in a negative way although i did manage to get through it and learn from it, i do however think it is worth considering where you are with your recovery and frame of mind before watching any type of movie or TV show that could reflect negatively on your end goal.
