AA on TV+NA 12/7/12 update

Last edited Fri Dec 7, 2012, 11:09 AM - Edit history (2)

a thread in the tv chat group caught my eye.The Closer has a major character, fritz howard, as alcoholic working on and keeping his recovery. he is married to the main character and on at least on one occasion that i can recall, his frustrations with her (like all marriages) lead him to go to a meeting. i watched this show from the beginning, and now that i'm working on my recovery i can see that the writers/actors have been doing a very effective/subtle demonstration of living in AA.
anyone else have a show that they can tell me/us about?

Elementary and the way Sherlock, his recovery, his addiction and the relationship with his sobriety coach' Watson is a huge draw for me. The case of the week is often very interesting.
Worthchecking out, IMHO
