I watch Leaving Las Vegas occasionally. I don't usually watch it all the way through.
For normies, Leaving Las Vegas is an inflated caricature of an exceptionally hopeless alcoholic hellbent on self destruction - an anomaly.
Looking back on my addiction, after 3 years clean, Leaving Las Vegas is familiar, nothing shocking. I had many of those moments.... just different geography, different acquaintances, different circumstances. It is entirely common, the garden variety experience of end stage alcoholism. NOT an anomaly, but the NORM.
Thank God people gave me a chance. Was within 6 months of dying from it. Thank fellowship. Reach out if you are struggling, that hand is always there.
