In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Ted Perkins, a former executive at Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers, who later became a sobriety mentor and author, shares his unique perspective on addiction and recovery. He discusses his book, in which he explores how movies portray addiction. Perkins believes that watching and discussing these films can serve as a powerful therapeutic tool that fosters deeper engagement and breaks up the monotony of standard lectures.
Perkins also introduces his organization, Recovery Movie Meetups, which provides safe environments for individuals to view and discuss addiction-themed films together. These discussions can lead to transformative experiences and can serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue about addiction and recovery. He asserts that movies presenting addiction recovery as a heroic journey can inspire addicts to relate their experiences to the characters' stories and find motivation for their own recovery.
Perkins invites listeners to explore his websites, addictedinfilm.com and recoverymoviemeetups.com, where they can access resources and start their own recovery movie meetups for free.
