Description
When you have never been addicted it is difficult to understand how an addict can do what they do, hurt the people they hurt, dig themselves in holes and jump in and bury themselves. In Chasing we are in a hidden room as an addict goes through. The levels of darkness that they fall into and what they are looking for. Constantly chasing that high that they got the first time. In Sold a gambling addict share with us the things that they have been willing to sell in order to keep betting, keep living the dream that has turned into a nightmare that they can't wake up from. Finally, in Meetings we see the addict, full circle, taking that first step towards getting their life back. Will they make it through, or will they wake away from the meeting and tell themselves that they will be back? Do they ever make it back? Is any addict every really clean?
