Open comment to the programmers at HBO:
I was trying to recall the last time I watched a decent movie or a good show on HBO and, I gotta tell you boys, I couldn't do it. I figure the only way you bozos can get a large enough contingent of viewers to pay the bills is to package yourselves with other programming providers. I remember when you could have stood alone on the strength of your programming. I guess you figured out an easier way to satisfy the shareholders than by providing a good honest schedule of entertainment and enlightenment.
If you didn't come already pre-packaged with other worthwhile programming, I wouldn't pay the wrung out sweat from my step-ins to see everything you've aired in the last 5 years. I'll bet there are a million other "subscribers" who think the same way.
You boys are like a dead mackerel in the moonlight...you shine and you stink.

where do these doctors get there information? everything that was said was out of some bottom less study of end less relapse.relapse is not part of true recovery.it is easy to study addiction in people.why not study people like myself that have been sober over ten years.what these medical people refuse to admit is that true addiction is beyond human aid!every true recovery is based with THE big book of A.A.THE FIRST 100 KNEW HOW TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH ADDICTION.THIS IS SO OVERLOOKED ALL OVER THE WORLD.THESE SHOWS DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.ONLY PEOPLE WITH 12 STEP EXPERINCE CAN REALLY HELP MOST OF ADDICTED.PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH ON WHAT THE BIG BOOK REALLY IS MADE FOR AND HOW IT CAN HELP PEOPLE BECOME (RECOVERED).THANK YOU
