I am a recovering heroin addict and let me tell you watching the trailer seeing her come down makes me in physical pain because man do I know that struggle. By the grace of God and my hard work I have 2yrs clean 3/16/19

I'm a recovering crack addict. I'll be 4 years clean as of April 4th.

So many people in the comments that are struggling with addiction, or have been sober for years or have closed ones who've gone through it A huge hug to all of you, stay strong 😘😘

This is literally my wife’s old life, she’ll have four years clean on July 7th.

Someone give glen close her oscar already whilst she is still alive to accept it in person.

Been clean for 23 years & it's still one day at a time.

God this trailer hit home for me. Once about eight years ago i was experiencing horrible withdrawal at home while waiting for a bed in s rehab, and i was throwing up so much foam and mucus that my mom was so scared i was going to have a heart attack. She watched me at my lowest point, a horrible and disgusting mess from my own actions, and still loves and respects me. And today she is so proud of me. I have eight years clean next month.

I’m one day sober. Every time I feel like I’m going to snap and get high I watch this trailer. Never knew a movie trailer could speak to me in such a way.

Its good to see mila in a serious role and especially alongside a legend like glen close this movie looks petty good

Based on ... a million true stories.

My mom is an addict, over 7 years clean... This brought me to tears because I will never forget the battle she fought to get clean, and how hard she tries every day.

this movie is literally me. From opiate addiction to my mother trying to help me but failing, to relapses, and finally having the strength to break free of my addiction.

I’ve been clean from Oxy’s for 17 years next month. I even lost my husband of 20 years to cancer 3 years ago, the worst heartache ever and I am still clean. I’m sharing this so people know there is hope. If you reading this are an active addict or new to recovery, you CAN do this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I am currently in heart failure after my 20th overdose, I’m 24 years old. This shit made me tear up.. But I have 70 days today and I pray for everyone else that’s struggling with this too. I got love for y’all 💙 October 28th I will have 9 MONTHS CLEAN !!!!! I just want to express my gratitude for all of you guys and your support !! Honestly it means so much to me to read these comments and primarily see positivity from people who care… I love it. You guys make me smile more than you know 💙

I lost my soulmate to this disease. It has destroyed me. Our daughter lost her father. He was the most beautiful soul in the world. He just couldn't see that about himself. He fought a good fight for years. He was sober for a year when he relapsed and overdosed. If you are struggling with this addiction, please know you mean everything to someone.

Mila Kunis’ method acting is PHENOMENAL. she doesn’t even look like an actor, it looks like the real thing. so impressive.

10 months and 20 days clean, boy does this hit home. To all the other recovering addicts out there, stay strong. We got this ❤

i've been clean almost 90 days. this trailer is so powerful, I cried watching cause being in a recovery step program is making me be able to watch stuff like this and actually care.

Iam 6 days clean, tomorrow will be one week. It's not much man, but iam really trying. The longest I've went is 13 days, not even 2 weeks. I've had so many relapses. But iam still trying, because if I don't try to recover now, then when ? After iam dead ? Who will do it for me ? Anyway, it's just all about taking it one day at a time, with discipline, and a lot of it. Never give up, keep going. You WILL get through it. Though your life will never be the same, remember that change is good in this instance, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Just thought I'd leave this here for anyone that cares or has/is experiencing the same thing. Much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️

To all those struggling with addiction, you are in my prayers🙏🏽 Be strong and fight....you are worth it!❤

as a heroin addict, one year clean, this hurts. and i'm grateful for this. thanks.

I am her story. So many of us are her story. We can live. We can make it through it.

The part where the mom said she didn't *want* to love her anymore: that really is how you feel loving someone with an addiction. The cycles of hope and betrayal, over and over again. It will break you. You just can't get through to them. You feel like their warden. You have to watch them all the time. And the minute you feel like it's safe to let your guard down, they give in and clobber you.

It was amazing going to the theater to see this last night. Our entire recovery group went and just took the place over. Heck we even made the people that didn't come with us a part of our group, cause that's just what we do. Everyone was crying and laughing ( even when it was probably inappropriate to do so) but we all lived it. For me tho, man..... I brought my mom with me and it was just....something else. Hard to explain. We both did, and went thru the same things these main characters went thru, so much pain I caused and she endured...but there we were...together...happy... Three years sober this month and I STILL feel guilty for the things I put her thru.. but this movie helped heal us even more. I wish I could thank everyone who made this movie personally.

This is a very realistic example of what a gorgeous girl looks like after years of addiction, they did a great job

I used to be a medic on an ambulance and picked up so many people who were addicted. Their stories were heart wrenching. Every time we picked them up, I would pray over them that their test becomes their testimony. I pray it did wherever they may be now.

I cried watching this trailer. I couldn’t help it. It reminded me of me and what I went through with my parents. I was an opiate addict and I had such a good life before it. Then I hit rock bottom and moved back in with my parents when I was 25 and they watched me like a hawk. They said I could follow their rules and let them help me or I could leave and go do whatever I wanted but that I was on my own. I chose to stay with them. I couldn’t go anywhere by myself. I could go grocery shopping with my mom. Anytime I was on the phone or texting someone they would ask who it was. They did everything they could to help me and I know how much it killed them inside to see me like that. Well what they did worked and I’m 4 years clean now.

Over 8 years sober. The day I got pregnant with my oldest son. I new I had to stop. I was saved by the baby, who made me a mom. 8/21/2012 🥰🥰🤞

This year I will celebrate 5 yrs of sobriety from heroin. This was almost unbearable to watch, as I lived this very cycle with my own mother for a decade. Sending love & prayers to all that have been affected by addiction.💕

7 years clean and I can't quit crying after watching this.... non addicts probably need to see this more than us addicts tbh. Man that was unexpected...

I dealt with a heroin addicted child for a long time tore me apart to watch it happen, no matter what I did, she's been clean 11 months now and I'm so proud😊

Sending light and love to everyone in the comments who is battling addiction. Especially the people who have 1 day clean. Day 1 has to be the hardest part but you can do it!

The shot they’re talking about...Vivitrol...saved my life. 2 years clean 💛

Going through this right now, sober people never seem to understand how difficult withdrawals are. The worst imagineable pain, feeling you could expierence and i’ve ever went through. Chills, but you’re hot at the same time. Throwing up, diarrhea even though you haven’t eaten anything. Terrible insomnia, up all night and with terrible bodyaches. Fever, can’t even be outside because everything bothers you. Runny nose, stuffed nose, its the worst. You go through this sometimes up to a month. It’s terrible, and we truly are champions for being able to get through this and get out of it strong, sober and healthy.

Hope Glenn wins the Oscar for this film and hopefully Mila will get nominated for her first Oscar..Glenn is long overdue for one

I overdosed a month ago and nearly died. My mom never knew I was a junkie. I'm now living with her and taking it one day at a time. I want to watch this with her but I'm also afraid of the unspoken emotions it will release in us both.

Wow this is so realistic. So sorry for the people stuck in the cycle of addiction and the families torn because of it. Kudos to the ones that broke that cycle and took control of their lives and relationships again!

I lost my brother to addiction. He fought so hard. He wanted to make it. RIP A.

I am a recovering addict and the pain looks so real in this movie! I’m so glad that I am recovering but it’s hard still after 10 years! God Bless anyone still suffering ! You are loved!!!❤️❤️❤️

This hits home for my family. Having two siblings in active addiction, the heartbreak, waiting for the call at any second they are gone. I think more people can relate to this, within their families, than most imagine. Addiction doesn't discriminate, it doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or not, old or young. So many can look down and judge, that's the sad part. We are all human, addiction can happen to any of us. Those quick to turn their nose up, maybe just see from a different perspective, talk about it, ask questions, be there for someone. It's hard as hell to not be so angry at someone you love for being an addict. I know because I feel it every day. I still love them, it's a back and forth battle to know how to help, how to be there in a positive way, yet not be an enabler. The hardest thing is loving them from a distance to protect my child. All four of us grew up with addict parents, being raised around it makes it easy to go down the same path. Everyone is different, we handle trauma differently. I didn't escape the abuse and drug filled life unscathed, I just got lucky that I never wanted to do those things. It could easily have been me on drugs, or in an abusive relationship. It can be hard to go down a better path, when your childhood was so immersed in that atmosphere. Hard, but not impossible. I have my own issues, I'm no better than anyone, and I don't judge. We're all human, trying to find our way in this world, trying to get over our hurt from the past. As the oldest sibling, I wish I could save my baby (grown yet still my baby siblings in my eyes) brother and sister. I'd do anything, however I realize, and accept it has to be their choice to change. It still doesn't hurt any less watching those you love with all your heart & soul, slowly kill themselves. ❤❤❤

This was a hard one to watch as I have seen this play out in my own family more times than I count in the last 20+ years with my sister. Drug addiction is so incredibly hard on the entire family not just the addict. Looks like a honest movie and looks great.

I'll have 4 yrs clean next month from heroin/opiates and the mere thought of withdrawals STILL gives me anxiety. That pain is etched in my soul...which is probably a good thing. 😉 Congrats to all of us. We're proof that no one is hopeless!

I lost my brother to an opiates addiction. He suffered a massive heart attack and even with that, he didn't stop. The doctor told him that if he continued on this course, he would have less than a year to live. He finally stopped when he died. He died while I was holding his hands. One of the most painful moments in my life.

I will b clean 5 yrs in dec. I list my daughter in November. I lost my mom on the 1st of April. I'm still clean n sober. Everyday is a struggle but I make that decision to stay clean every morning. Some days is harder then others. But I love my life now. Even with all the struggles

I'm crying watching the trailer? this is the goods

4 years sober from meth subutex and alcohol and I cant watch this without crying

"My Sobriety day is December 20th 2019" I am living proof that miracles happen!! 🤞🏻✝️🦋💪🏻

As a former Alcohol & Drug Counselor, I truly appreciated working with this beautiful,compassionate, humorous, straight forward, vulnerable and intelligent population. I learned so much from them, made me a much better listener and confidant. When an addict is in the throes of addiction, they are in complete hell rock bottom. They need tough love but also empathy, softness and kindness. May God help these precious people.

I thank god I got sober before my son. This hits home with me and my mom.

The physical transformation Mila had to undergo for this role must've been a nightmare. She looks disturbingly sickly.

Cried 10 seconds into the trailer I lost my younger cousin 5 years ago she had a heroine addiction for 3 years lost her two daughters custody she went to rehab and got better found a good job turned her life around got her two daughters back and about a year and a half later on thanksgiving she had a cardiac arrest and went into a coma and never woke up she had other medical issues , she was 29

That hospital secene where she’s screaming for her mom to make it stop. It was like washing a movie of myself

Sad how common this story is... I've been clean from my addiction to Xanax since 12/24/2011! It's by the grace of God that I'm still here today! I also lost my mom to an accidental overdose when I was 17. I'm grateful that I was able to break free! God's not done with me yet! You can do anything with God!

Having just recently lost my brother to a drug overdose this trailer really hit hard. My brother was a good person with a terrible addiction. He was always different and he felt it. Addicts "accepted him". Even though acceptance came at a terrible price. I do not know the answers to everyone's addiction but I do believe it starts with the addict themselves. Sometimes , we the family and friends, must make the difficult decision to seperate ourselves from the addict to save ourselves. A price that is also a terrible price to pay. The pain I saw my brother and parents go through was horrible and it has left its' scars on me. I pray for all those lost souls that they find the self worth and courage to get help. For no other reason than for them to be able to live. Not just exist. The acting in this trailer is perfect. This is EXACTLY what it looks and feels like for the family of an addict. Thank you Ms.Kunis and Ms. Close. This is worth an Oscar.

I’m so proud of everyone in the comments. You guys are amazing. PS: I can’t imagine having to go through detox, that seems to be the worst part of recovery (aside from the cravings). God bless you all.

To all of you who have faced the surmountable horror of drug addiction and have made the choice of life I applaud you and cheer for your success. You are all in my prayers. All are my brothers and sisters. God speed.

I lost my brother to Opioids.. He was supposed to get this shot, but he spent the money on drugs. I miss him every day and I pray for everyone out there struggling with this disease.. On another note, my husband was a hardcore alcoholic and it took them 10 days to detoxify him from alcohol, he was placed in ICU and almost died.. He’s been taking this shot once a month for 4 years.. Again, I pray for everyone struggling with this, and the families that struggling with it too..

My sister is a addict , I’ve always heard the quote that “loving a drug addict is some times harder than being one” and it’s true . I’ve dealt with it all in my family , sadly my sister is the only one left struggling . Everyday I live in fear of losing her , and I cry because lord knows I wanna help her , but there’s no way .

I'm super proud of everyone in the comments who is clean or trying to get clean! You guys are strong! I am currently in Ativan (lorazepam) withdrawal, wish me luck

I've been clean for 3 almost 4 years!! And I'm so proud of myself. My son is my savior 🥰❤️

Mila Kunis showing her talent! Love it.

My parents were both addicts. When I saw the clip about her losing her child over drugs, I lost it. I was that child and watched my parents go through and overcome addiction. Powerful in so many ways and this story speaks to millions.

when someone you love finally says “i’m proud of you” … finally. it makes such a difference.

This movie will help people understand just how strong you have to be to get over an addiction. Even loved ones have to bear the pain, but guess what? You can and will do anything you put your heart and mind to. Sending love to all who are struggling with addiction. I don't know you, but I'm rooting for you. ❤️🤗

Just reading comments with recovering addicts. Well done to you all🤗. To overcome something that can have powerful hold on you,is truly amazing.

I'm a recovering opioid user I'm on suboxone now 12mg a day trying so hard to do better in my life pills destroyed my family it's been 8 months now and I'm now spending time with my kids every weekend and doing great!!!

I smell at least two Oscars nominations maybe three.

I wish me and my mom could watch this together. She will never get over me being an addict. I have 3+ years clean. Now im struggling with depression so bad. I haven't worked i dont even have food right now. First at 18 it was bulimia i put my family thru for 8 years then opiates now im clean but have depression so bad im 38. When will this all end? I have a small dumb apartment ive been alone a long time bc i isolate but this week has been very hard. I pray and pray. I dont have gas or food i need a miracle

As a child watching their mother have to go through this their whole life, this hits home hard. We lost our family and everything due to addiction. I hope this raises awareness of addiction instead of looking the other way.

Addiction doesn’t just hurt yourself, it also hurts the people who love you and are trying to stop you from deteriorating.

Just for today! Almost 3 years sober for me.. this is truly an inspiring story and my heart goes out to her and anybody else struggling with sobriety! Love you all🥰

I've never cried just by the trailer of a movie...

So, so satisfying to see that Mila waited for a project that is as powerful as she clearly is. Her and Glenn in a two-hander?! Worth the wait.

I have 3 years of sobriety and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. 7/25/17

I've been struggling with alcoholism for 10 years now. I won't give up hope.

Glenn Close and Mila Kunisnin a drama with Reba McIntyre on soundtrack? I’m so in!

I can't be the only one who started tearing up while watching this trailer right?

I'm already bawling my eyes out, I can't imagine which state I will be in watching the whole movie. Glenn and Mila are incredible!

I watched this movie sitting on the couch with my mom, in the middle of withdrawal just sobbing. This movie is so realistic and motivational.

Over six years clean from meth. Not many people get out alive so for all the survivors who are battling their struggles everyday I am proud of you! Keep going and stay strong!!

Omg I would love to see this as I'm a recovering meth addict been clean one week I'm struggling but getting by one day at a time I really want to this movie.

Will the damn Academy give Glenn an Oscar already. What more does this amazing woman have to prove????

For everyone on here who has been clean at least for one minute, me and JESUS CHRIST are proud of you.

To everyone in the comments.. I send a lot of love and strength. Life isn't easy, but it can be beautiful if you fight. You're all fighters ❤️

This my story.. This is so many of our stories... I was clean 4 years and relapsed during covid.. I cried my eyes out during this trailer.. It hits home hard..

Damn, I had a partner who went deep into addiction. Almost a decade of my life with him. Due to violence against myself on repeated occasions, I had to leave suddenly and severed all contact since - those who know, know. Enough was enough. I am living my best life since then and sincerely hope he is living is. Addiction is deeply serious thing to engage with and so hard to get out of. I appreciate all the stories in the comments of people coming clean. Stay strong, be well, stay kind to yourself 🙏🏽

As a single mom in recovery from benzos I have been through almost this exact situation. My mom has been my BIGGEST supporter even when we’ve fought through it all. I’m coming up on 6 months.. and Ive never felt better, happier. My daughter has her mommy and my mom has her daughter back.

I just lost someone close to me from a drug addiction. Yet even still I have faith that people can make it to sobriety.

I'm a recovering addict and it was like watching my own life man this hit home.....this is a whole lot of people's true story

For all of you sharing your stories of addiction and heartache here, I applaud your bravery. I applaud your strength. I applaud you. Thank you for bringing hope to others. x

Addiction, any addiction is so hard. I take it every day. After my daughter was born she nearly died and had to have a heart operation. I blamed myself for a long time, i blamed it on staying with my ex for so long who was mentally and physically abusive towards me, so i turned to alcohol and was never home. I couldn’t bond with my daughter but my mum never gave up on me. 7 years clean and still taking it day by day. I’m a single mum and me and my daughter are stronger than ever. She’s now 8 and she acts like a 30 year old 😁

This is what I put my mom through 💔 10 years clean and sober ...I hate myself for not getting better before she died 💔 The guilt still gets me . 💔💔💔

Well shit if a trailer jerks my tears... imagine the whole film... addiction is hell man...

I’m worried my mom won’t make it like some of you. I’m so proud of the many people in the comments that made it. She’s just….so blind and it’s ripped my entire family apart. It’s still the worst heartache I’ve ever endured in my entire life.

I really hope mila gets an Oscar for this performance. Totally incredible . Being an alchohic i know about addiction. Been into inpatient 6 times. Longest clean time i had was 5 months. This movie gives me confidence that i can do it.

Been off meth for 2.5 years, and off pills for 4 months, and off weed for couple of weeks. I couldn't have done it had I not cried to Jesus for help, and He heard me, and he delivered me. So yes, this hits home.

glen close kills it,......holy shit, she needs more recognition,......she's played so many roles where she plays an absolute different character from the last,.......amazing.

Recovering alcoholic for a little over a year. Can't wait till I can stream this film. This was my mom's story. It's so powerful!

This right here. been clean for almost a year, best feeling ever to be back to normal. anyone out there can do it, Only if you wanna do it. I hope and pray for everyone to get clean, there a better side and i use to think i could never quit , i felt like this was my life was doing drugs, but when i got clean, i realized there so much more and im so glad i realized that before it was to late. so anyone can quit! dont give up. Addicts when they get clean they are the most purest person ever. ok bye.

The comment section has me in tears. I have so much respect for anyone who is struggling with addiction or is in recovery. We have to stop treating people like criminals for trying to heal their pain and trauma in the only way they know how
