Laura Hall: My Battle With Booze

[s1rallyemark]

Anybody catch this on BBC3 last night, was a very interesting look at how some people even after attending court 40 times for drunken behaviour are not offered help.

I watched it.

Poor cow obviously has some much more deep-rooted psychological problems (that weren't even touched on) than 'just' a can't-handle-her-drink problem.

Yeah definitely, but it did have a goodish ending and I wish her luck tbh. The thing that struck me was where did she get all the money from and where were her parents but thats probably something to do with the cuts on her arm maybe

Yes caught this last night.

Interesting program. It is difficult at any age to give up an addiction. It took a long time for her to get the help & guidance she needed.

Dare I say it, but by the end the impression was that she was starting turn into a young lady, who wanted to do something with her life.

Interesting that the first note on the credits was 'Laura has not been paid for taking part in this Documentary'
