As important as it was to hear about the devastating effects that alcoholism can have on a woman, especially a woman like Bette VandenAkker, the aspect missing was Al-Anon. Not once did any of the individuals interviewed in the film talk about how they coped with their loss of Bette. It is fine to reminisce about the deceased person but in order to truly recover a person must seed recovery for themselves. The fact that they did not mention this crucial step in a person's recovery from the effects of the terrible disease of of alcoholism showed how much more is needed to understand the effects of these disease and what is needed to really recover. I speak from personal experience as my father, aunt and uncle all died from effects of alcoholism and Al-Anon saved my life.
