All of the films in the Recovery Movie Meetups program have been hand selected because they don't show gratuitous, consequence-free scenes of using. All of the films reinforce the message that drugs and alcohol addictions have negative consequences that can and will be overcome through a personal commitment to change. In fact, it is highly beneficial for people who watch these film to be triggered because there are trained counselors and therapists available to help them understand those triggers in real time, process them, and overcome them. The end result of this process is that individuals are then actually better able to overcome triggers in real life after the Recovery Movie Meetups.
