I was a teenage alcoholic and the disease progressed for 35 years until I finally had a breakdown but still didn't get sober until 47 years old! Wasted my whole life. For anyone seeking recovery, don't give up....help is out there and gosh is it a great life!!! ❤ I'm 3 years sober and never going back again!!! ❤
Keep that up girl. I've been an alcoholic too, I guess. Just because you don't drink every day doesn't mean you're not one. I used to drink and not being able to stop at the right time. It always had to go on until oblivion. I stopped from one day to the next. It happened through pure fear. I was 47 and my dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons desease. One night I was f*cked up, also been smoking some pot. Then it hit me: if I get a phonecall tonight that my dad has been taken to the hospital, I'll not even be able to stand up straight. Let alone attend. That created such anxiety that I stopped drinking.13 years ago. I have had a few drinks since than, but somehow it doesn't do anything for me anymore. Just makes me tired and cranky. My first drink this year will probably be half a glass of champagne at New Years Eve... What I'm trying to say is: there are many, many forms and shapes of alcohol abusus. I've been to rehab four times, due to combination of tranquillizers and alcohol. But that thing about my father did it.
Thank you for sharing! I became basically an alcoholic from my first drink at age 22. I finally quit for good 10 years later, but it took me 5 serious tries.
Congratulations !! I relapsed at 12 years but I'm back God it was hell ,pure hell that relapse ,back to one day at a time but I know ill never leave again
I was always able to freely admit I was an alcoholic. Me and my friends were brutally self-aware, but we didn't care, didn't take it seriously. Made a joke of it. We'd stock the apartment full of booze and say: "Welcome to alcoholism." I drank like a fish from ages 14 to 34. Just drank copious volumes of liquor like it was water. My parents were alcoholics who fought all the time, After all the insane car accidents, some of my friends deaths due to alcohol and drugs, losing a 2 and half year girlfriend that I lived with (the only real relationship/girlfriend I ever had) because of my alcoholism, all the jobs I lost, the people I wronged, and a mountain of legal problems that my drinking caused, I finally quit drinking 2 years ago. Hands down the best thing I ever did for myself. I'm still putting my life back together after all the damage. Quitting drinking doesn't make your life easier, but it sure as hell makes it a lot more manageable. If I can quit, anyone can.
Did you get any damage from it ? From 14 to 34 ?! Holy lord... You probably had shaky hands in the morning right ? You could have died if stopped cold turkey. And did you drink from 14 to 34 EVERY SINGLE DAY?! hope not... And when you say copious like water, how much ? 20 liters per day ? Did you drink until passing out ? And I'm so proud of you!!!
@@emnemnem1889 Thankyou so much Em. I think I may have liver damage. I did drink everyday or damn near everyday for all those years like someone looking to die. I drank at least a 750 ML of Jameson everyday on top of cases of beer. I would drink myself into blackouts all the time, and when I was blacked-out, I was a crazy fucker. I had black out rage issues. I once sent a dude who started a fight with me to the emergency room with every bone in his face broken, and his eyeball was dangling out of his face by it's cord. It was hands down the worst ass-whooping I've ever seen anyone take. I don't even remember beating him. He started a fight with me in my own house tho...so that's one example of my black-rage. The biggest reason I quit drinking is how angry and depressed I became when drunk. I was a hurting guy who had alot of childhood truama I wasn't dealing with in a healthy way. I promise I'm a nice guy, and don't drink anymore. So that's behind me. The few, and I mean few times I have drank any alcohol in the last 2 years. I had one drink and I got a horrible migraine for several hours afterwards. Like head on fire, someone drilling into my eyeballs with a power drill migraine. So I think my liver is shot. A migraine can be an indication of a serious underlying health issue. I did quit cold turkey. I took Kratom everyday to counteract my alcohol withdrawals. Kratom really helped me.
@@micahrutland991 Oh my... You're very strong keep it up! In my case, I'm just a 20 years old girl whose parents are (thankfully normal) but still surrounded by many drunks, such as my uncle, two cousins, another aunt, another cousin and a close friend of mine. Recently she (my friend) had lost her job bcz her health couldn't allow her to work any longer. She has fatigue, and is sick all the time hence instead of medications she numbs it with booze. She wasn't fired, but she just physically can't work anymore. Just like you she started early. At 15. She's been drinking for 19 years and she doesn't want to quit cuz of depression, fear of withdrawals etc (at least she was honest w me) She actually has an ulcer, a mild hepatitis with gastritis and still this doesn't make her want to quit. Idk what to do anymore. Even when my boyfriend tried to talk to her it was useless. I feel worried for her. Since her job loss she's been spending her time wasted 24/7 (sthg she never did cuz she would always wait for work to end to drink) she's a teacher btw. She's been waking up heck knows where, at random times and everyday I'm worried. Nothing happened yet but she could get hit by a car, choke on her own vomit or heck knows what. Yeah idk what to do...
@@leapinglaura7343 actually I didn't. But sadly 6 members of my family are alcoholics as well as a friend. Thank lord my parents aren't, so yeah I have knowledge. Myself I'm a teaholic and drink only on events
This movie is so accurate. It was so easy to drink in the 70s and 80s, as a preteen, teenager. My parents had parties almost every weekend and drank all of the time. I was so easy to sneak alcohol without them knowing. I became addicted to alcohol and finally quit it altogether when I turned 33. My parents are in their late 70s and still drink dally. I am so glad that i quit drinking.
Congratulations Denise !! You had to have hard times and stopping drinking isnt that easy..especially if your parents drink every week-end.. its a victory you only owe to yourself
@@Purplenpinkk@Purplenpinkk yes! I smoked in my bedroom and my parents never noticed. They supplied those too. They'd leave cartons of menthols in the fridge. So easy to take. Parents of the 70s and 80s were clueless. I don't keep cigarettes or alcohol in my house, now at all. I have a 14 year old.
Linda Blair was my age when this came out. She even lived in the next town over from me. We used to see her in the supermarket. This film got a lot of exposure at the time it came out. Some of us took the warning and others didn't. I was in a similar situation until 1992, when I quit drinking. My whole late teens to young adult life was a blur. There were some epic good times and some very bad times, but I was lucky that I never hurt myself or anyone else.
Teens today are not as beautiful as they used to be they are more uglier now teens in the 70s and 80s were way more nice looking, attractive, and beautiful than teens today now it’s all make up
Pretty much a genuine reality from start to end. Some people never are able to admit it, are never able to take the first step toward a really amazing life on the other side. Great acting by Linda, wow!
I'm a recovering Alcoholic over 33 years now,by the grace of God bought a 20 gallon bottle of vodka and Pump 😢came with ait😮 Sick and drag everyone with you is my shamethe pain truly insane....
So many parents even today are so caught up in the embarrassment that they feel that they make a child’s drug or alcohol problem about themselves rather then being genuinely concerned with helping the child’s recovery.💔😢
Even at this tender age Linda has that deeply moving quality of almost passing through the screen and affecting one emotionally. It is impossible to watch Linda and not feel an emotive connection to her character. I feel it very strongly here, as I did when watching Born Innocent and The Exorcist.
Born Innocent was a very good movie that i watched for the 1st time as a 10yr old.. I never forgot what she endured while in that place and it often occured to me as a teen when faced with certain peer pressures that could lead to trouble where i myself could end up in a place like that. I can safely say it very well mite have saved my life in many ways. (Wife here using husbands RUclips account 😉)
This was a blinder 😅I remember seeing this back in the early eighties 🍺🍻🥃 I went through alcoholism and recovered without help and I’ve been dry for 12 years 🎉 Alcoholism is hellish and so easily to slip into ✊✨💙🍀
As a shy introverted and lonely teen, alcohol seemed like a way to come out of my shell. I just wish it didn't work so well. It wasn't long before I began having far more bad nights than good.
Personally love Linda Blair. This was a very raw and real movie. I loved how the 70s and 80s portrayed those with eating diorders, additions, and especially alchoholics as well.
The ending broke my heart... I was hoping for a happier ending for her. But I gotta say this film is really realistic with lengths alcoholics will go and how sometimes they do something really horrible before they realize they need help
@@camillemagdalena1761 I’m saying that because she hit rock bottom and ended up killing the horse and her family still wasn’t listening to her. Also it’s possible to relapse, get worse, etc. so the ending is a little bit of cliff hanger. I have a bunch of alcoholics in my family so please don’t assume things 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Very good movie. Linda Blair is a wonderful actress. I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. I was in junior high at the time. I thought back then this movie would scare kids into not trying alcohol. Unfortunately, it didn't.
My MEMORIES of ALCOHOL I drank to find Happiness only to become so … Unhappy I drank to find Sociability & found myself … Argumentative I drank to find Sophistication & became … Obnoxious I drank to find Friendship & made new … Enemies I drank to find Sleep & always woke up … Tired I drank to find Strength for the day & just felt … Weak I drank to find Relaxation & ended up with the … Shakes I drank to find Courage & grew even more … Afraid I drank to find Joy only to become someone … Miserable I drank to find Confidence & was left more … Doubtful I drank to find Easier conversation only to … Slur my Speech I drank to find Heavenly feelings & I ended up … Feeling like hell Blessings & LUV to those who are still living these words.

@@youareabsolutelyright2579me too struggling with liver and pain. I’m only 41 I’m afraid and have tried rehab detox reduce meetings and on and on…combined with eating disorders it’s killing me I can feel it, sometimes don’t shower itchy skin sometimes. Had my rant obviously I hope someone can relate and no they are not alone!
Directed by the late, great Richard Donner who passed away a few weeks ago. Aftet this TV movie, Donner went on to direct The Omen, Superman, Goonies, Lethal Weapon 1 -4 and a ton of other films. RIP Dick Donner. You will be missed.
I too was a teenage alcoholic and a poly addict. I was a bit younger, I started my career at 12 and I was obsessed straight away. After the destruction of my school life, my insane "love" life all of my jobs ended the same way. 30 years later 8.12.2022 I had a psychic change, thank you God! I don't give out advice, all I can say is I didn't trust people, I had a beautiful dream where I was baptised in it. Life is beyond amazing. Not everyone gets the chance to live two lives. God bless!! xxx
My best friend at school was an alcoholic by 15. At 16 it was so bad I couldn't even hang out with her, she was so reckless and destructive. She wasn't happy unless she was drinking. We don't talk about teenage addiction enough
I remember this movie Sarah T Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic starring Linda Blair in 1975 that was a made for TV movie I've seen it on late night TV and I've watched it a million times over the years Linda Blair did a great job doing the movie she was an icon from back in the day!!!!! I love made for TV movies of the week in the 70s!!!!!! They don't make good shows like this anymore!!!!! Thanks so much for for posting this video!!!!!! I love this movie!!!! I love the 70s!!!!!!! Can you dig it!!!!!!!
@@SUGAR_XYLER This was at a time when television movies were a powerful commodity for the networks. Incidentally, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the popular television movie 'Brian's Song'--the one that television movies are measured against.
Duel, The Night Stalker, The Spell, Bad Ronald, etc etc. The 70s had the greatest TV movies. My fondest memories of growing up in the 70s were the rainy Saturday afternoons where I’d watch these movies. I’m grateful they’re on DVD or RUclips.
Ahhh, pay phones before cell phones. I miss those. I was born 1972... Watching this has me recall back to the eighties, when we actually had to try out for something. I'll never forget trying out for chorus in the end of my sixth grade year. I sang Lionel Richies Song " Hello" . . Is it me your looking for ( I still remember it word for word ) Anyway, my name was on the paper taped to the chorus door. I was surprised actually. SO I was in Chorus when I began the seventh grade. My daughter who is a junior in college now, all she had to do was sign up for Chorus when she was in High School. I would say.. " You know, back in my day, we actually had to try out...Lol I tell you though they had an excellent Chorus when she in High School. I loved watching those precious young people perform. ( I turn 51 next month, and time just flies by ) I apologize for my rambling.
I took 7 years of chorus in school and made accapella choir and got to compete in Canada. Our choir won 4 1st place trophies in everything we competed. 🏆 I was put in charge of caring for the all those trophies and won a scholarship 😃
Thank you so much for posting this✨ I was 12 when this came out and had forgotten the movie yet I found a reference to it recently in an old childhood diary...now I remember. Wow, a lot to think about. Great soundtrack and acting by Linda Blair, Mark Hamill, Larry Hagman and cast.
Richard Donner. Great TV movie, left a deep impression to a 10 yr kid. Before he did The Omen (1976),Superman (1978) and the Lethal Weapon movies. What a career!! Still alive at 90. 5/22/20
I tried that stuff once and couldn't do it again girlfriend handling it well and she's younger than I was. I was in my 30s just hated the taste and it really didn't give me the buzz I was looking for unfortunately
all she wanted for her dad, and he rejected her!!!!! thats where it all started and then everything else came into play and it accelerated her problem. he knows hes the main factor but too ashamed to admit it, he broke her heart all over again as he walked out on her again when she really needed him and looked her right in the eye as he left.
Thumbs up to RUclips! What a great job you do in bringing movies that i enjoyed from my youth and childhood to the present. This includes your after-school specials, 70's and 80's corny or off-the-wall movies i can never seem to find (or no one knows about lol), documentaries that tell the whole truth etc...being a 60 yr old diaabled woman who is almost entirely home-bound and has to much time on my hands i'm grateful and delighted more often than naught to see what you offer as entertainment compared to paid movie channels! I tip my hat to you👍💜
I first saw this as an ABC After School Special when I was 12 in eighth grade. I was very affected by this movie and have thought of it several times over the years.
Great acting by Linda Blair - really good portrayal of the progression of alcoholism. Especially the denial when you're young - I know - I've been there
When I was really little my grandfather who was a doctor used to give me small amounts of alcohol. I accepted it as the norm since I was six years old. When I got older it was still normal for me. In later life I lost almost everything because of alcohol. Grew up in the 70s

Both of them are still very active. Terry Marvin (Dallas, Texas)
I love Linda and in fact the lady I loved and lived with in the early 90s looked very much like her. But it's not true she won all the awards you listed, Rita Moreno actually did win the Oscar Emmy Grammy and Tony awards. Linda nominated for Best Supporting Actress in THE EXORCIST and won a few lesser ones including a Razzie or 2.
A human being who has dedicated most of her life protecting and saving animals with her foundation, tells us the amazing lady, Linda Blair is. I think she believes this is her true legacy and her films are proof of how hard she worked since an early age, and that work is now there for generations to come, even of after she's no longer with us. That's simply my goal as a writer/actor, but it doesn't define who I am. Blair is very smart for she's used her fame, her work to fund her true calling and passion, the Linda Blair Foundation. Love you, girl!!
I remember watching this movie when it came out on TV, I was 15 also and could identify with the Linda Blair's character. Kids at that age were not only drinking, but using drugs as well. We were known at "stoner's" back then. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have never started any of that back then, because it only led me to addiction that was so destructive. I'm not even happy with the fact I became clean and sober in 2019 relieved yes, happy, no. There are so many other ways to deal with issues that lead to addiction.
@@Leahmoonbeamflower thank you so much. I totally agree with what you said. It took me awhile to find my purpose and happiness in life after becoming sober, but I'm finally there! Who knew life could be so wonderful 😊
@@MGPSJ14 that’s beautiful. What purposes have you found in your life? I’d love to hear about them. I’m just now getting sober from alcohol and it feels strange…. Strange that my authentic self is slowly emerging from the dead spirits that is alcohol. Coming alive… once again.
@@Leahmoonbeamflower how awesome for you🤗 my sobriety I really believe was divine intervention, I say this because I was addicted over 20 yrs. And never wanted to leave my addiction or even tried. For some reason it was different this time, I finally got to the point where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired plus hitting rock bottom, to the point where it was affecting my relationship with my kids. At the time I was about 3 months into my sobriety, when my then 4 yr. Old grandson became gravely I'll. Several hrs after my daughter and her husband took my grandson to the emergency we found out my grandson Izaeah had type 1 diabetes. I honestly believe in my heart God put me in the right path to get clean for my daughter and grandson. That was my purpose. I might add, I too had an addiction to alcohol. My best times now are being a grandma, love the lil buggers. I hope for you a successful sobriety and beautiful life my beautiful friend ✌🏼❤️
The 70s were not a more innocent time it was less kids preteens and teens were a lot badly behaved and wild than today. Todays teenagers are more well behaved than teens were in these past decades
Every generation has people who think theirs is the best generation. For someone who didn't grow up in the 70's, it seems to me the 70's had plenty of its own problems. I've watched documentaries and read history books. Plus, I had a few cousins who were representative of the documentaries and history books. Anyone who was innocent then, had blinders on.
I realized for the first time Im an alcoholic watching this I don't want to stop I feel for her when she takes that first sip the youforia the feeling of being ok again great film ps I won't say I'm a victim of alcoholism because I chose to drink but a casualty of this
What a great cast...Linda Blair was my first crush as a kid growing up.I haven't seen this since it first aired over 40 years ago..R.I.P. ..M. Emmet Walsh.
You mean 50 years, or 49 at this typing. We're in 2024! It's hard to believe it's been that long. And I still have a crush on Linda Blair. Good looking WOMAN now.
Very powerful film this hits me hard as my uncle was alcoholic this film was so gripping one of the best films ever seen for a long time please who ever has this problem please get help before it’s too late🙏♥️
The best part is when she smashes the potato salad on the girl at the party. This movie is like a 70's All Stars TV movie. I recognize so many of these people. It's cool seeing Bill Thornbury pre-PHANTASM.
I'm surprised they had an older 50's fridge in that kitchen in 1975. I would think they would have a then current model in avocado, harvest gold, or coppertone brown...🤣
Bland and corporate.. like so many people! The 70' s might be the decade that taste forgot, but it was also a good time to buck commercialism and make your own anything!
@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts love the 70s, my mom drove a ORANGE 🍊 colored 2 door oldsmobile omega, with beige vinyl top 😆. I love my baby pictures, the faux wood panel finished basement walls, a LIME green fridge , Avon, and the phone was a rental Lime green 💚 bell Atlantic. The 70s had bell bottoms and bright style, men with huge hair and side burns. Haha
How very true...my parents were both alcoholics. father in his grave, mother in her 80s still drinks every day. Always in denial. My sister and i have a drink once in a blue moon but only one or two. It turned us off seeing the results and that was every night. We were not allowed to have friends over, could not ask anyone to stay, had to arrange lifts with the car the day before as they would start as soon as they got home. We are in our 50s now. Cannot bear to be around drunk people now.
Describes my life entirely ! I've been drinking since I was about to turn 15 ! I'm 20 now, and can't quit. My anxiety is gone when I drink, and I can actually socialize with my friends, instead of being quiet, n awkward. I really want to get my life put together, and only drink on occasions, but it's difficult to just quit, but I crave the taste of malt liquor. Preferably Mickeys ! I'm actually drinking some while watching the movie. Whoever is dealing with this issue. I pray we all can get better, n defeat alcoholism ! Send everyone who's reading this pure love, and pure intentions
I'm drinking while watching this too. I think a lot of these AA folks are over the top though. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I have extreme anxiety all my life and if drinking a little takes some of the edge off, so be it. I've also had extreme trauma to deal with. Not rock bottom issues, real life tragedies. Things I can't unsee. Go easy on yourself hun. We can be our own worst enemies sometimes. Best wishes x
I just turned 71 and am now not much older than Linda Blair in real life. I too am a recovering alcoholic. Sounds to me like you have to drink a little more before you're ready to quit. If you're certain you ARE an alcoholic and are ready to face up to it, then you can save yourself the misery that is sure to follow. Go to an AA meeting. You'll find someone like yourself there, I promise. He/she could even be your "sponsor", who will guide you through the "12 Steps" to recovery. Remember, just "One Day at a Time", no more. Quitting won't seem so hard that way. See, I've just done a Twelfth Step! Good luck.
Honestly it's okay to be quiet and awkward, it's your friends fault if they can't accept you the way you are, perhaps it's your own fears and imagination that you think they wont.
Mr. Feeny and Luke Skywalker! Didn't know I was gonna see them in this. Linda Blair was awesome. My cousin use to show up at my house drunk at 16. Well she died at 32. Directly from alcoholism. I miss her everyday and wish she had gotten the help she needed. Good movie.
I cracked up when he said his horse was old ABOUT 11 years old ! Horses live into twenty’s and thirty plus .. 11 is a great age they are strong and reliable
My cousin was that way and still is. Back when we were 15 16 years old, we would get a case of beer, and always we ran out, even with only three of us drinking it. I'd get maybe 4 beers out of it. This happened all the time, and I noticed it was when Dan was drinking with us. My Mom asked me one day to come into the living room. She said, "Look at this and lifted up a chair in the living room. Hidden in the springs of the chair were about ten cans of now warm beer. Mom said, "There's where all the beer is going." I asked Dan about it, and he said, "I needed to make sure I got my share. Anyway, I gotta go." "Where you going?" I said. He said, "Guy down the street is buying six twelve packs of beer. I go where the beer is." That's when I knew he was alcoholic. He's 64 years old now, and he hasn't gone a day without drinking for decades. Drunk everyday. It's his whole live. I surprised he's still alive. He smokes a pack a day, too. I asked him when was the last time he went a day without at least a 12 pack, and he answered, "I don't remember."
Molly Shannon brought me here. LOL! Mary Catherine Gallagher. I adore the 70's and the movies. I enjoyed going back in time, I sure do wish this era would return.
I remember seeing this on tv when i was 10 yrs old in '75. Never made me want to drink after seeing this. And I never did. Linda Blair was a great actress!
I started drinking when I was 10 I didn't realize I was alcohol dependent and then I read the big book I am now 30 got clean when I was 29! Life is still Rocky but, oh the positive outcome it's already brought me!
The book that should be labeled for EVERYONE called Alcoholic annominous (I can't spell sorry) but it's a book of life for everyone to lead life with healthiness and love! I also study the Bible God is my higher power for sure without him I'd be back were I was 6 years ago!
@@emnemnem1889 yes! 10! Waste only way to escape the abuse and drinking followed me when I moved out at 15 people say it's so easy just don't buy it but Noone understands the deep hold it has on you when have done it since a child even if you haven't drinking can still drank you down it's the devil in disguise! I love living sober!
Linda Blair is NOT "amazing." Every single thing she made in the 70's (aside from "The Exorcist"), she played a COMPLETELY whiny little bitch who can't act. She does get the award for WAAA! WAAAA!-ing though.
Ah thanks for the name..😀🙂linda blair ..She was a good actress ..she reminds me Dj in full house in a younger version..her facial features are à bit similar..
Unfortunately, alcoholism doesn't affect just the alcoholic. It hurts those who care about them. It tears up families & passes down to tear up more family. How many innocent strangers have been the victim of an alcoholic? My heart goes out to all, alcoholic, their families & those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I grew up around an alcoholic & at 60 years old I'm still trying to forgive the person who was the alcoholic. Especially as he quit drinking when my favorite person passed away instead of quitting before. Alcoholism doesn't have to continue down the generations & my family is now proof of that. Getting sober is the best thing any alcoholic can do for themselves. Probably the hardest going they will ever do but so very worth it.
This is still a problem mainly because some adults think it's okay for their children to get drunk at a young age then they wonder why they get into other things because you thought one beer is okay .
Very good movie but very ironic in some ways. Mainly Larry hagman playing the father. The man was really an alcoholic in life so much so he had one liver transplant that he ruined by drinking. They wouldn't give him a second one for that very reason
Parents who have liquor 🥃 cabinets and if u don’t lock 🔒 them up, things like this happen all the time!!!!!! I have been an alcoholic for years and then I quit, and they tell us, when u drink 🍺 and quit, and start again and then ur no longer a recovering alcoholic ur back to being an alcoholic again!!! Then if u we’re having health problems and u start again and ur health continues being worse!!!!! I didn’t drink 🍹 that young, I didn’t like alcohol 🍷, but I was into drugs!!! So Parents need to keep alcohol away from minors!!!! Because they will sooner, or later start one of the two!!! Alcoholic or Drug Addict!!!! My Bad Childhood and Past Marriage Caused Me These Problems and Mental Problems Too!!! Just Saying!!!! Good Luck 👍🍀 To U All !!!!
This is a great movie; love the 70's setting. The prices, the clothing....everything! Linda is gorgeous and a great actress.....No way Mark Hamill was in this.
its interesting watching shows like this the fashions nobody on a cell phone it is pretty accurate. the only thing missing is the teens then where I grew up many of them smoked cigarettes and other stuff as well.
Katherine im an alcoholic and took my first drink at 11 because i was nervous for a large high school. Always had jugs of wine, homemade beer, and i could drink the booze but not the mix..pop. My entire family drank through trauma, mental health issues, it works for a time band aid but reality is still with u but now you have a shitty hangover and a load of guilt plus trying to recall everything...( black out i became )..In the late 80s early 90s im so lucky GOD was watching over me..Stupid things.I was blessed to not be raped or at least to my knowledge...NOW THAT IS AN ALCOHOLIC....Self loathing and mental health has made it a bit hard.. But ill take my worst day Sober than my BEST day drunk any day. P.S if you go to A.A and stay ,it will ruin you for drinking now you found another way. BLESS YOU ALL.
I really enjoyed Linda's vocals on "It's Too Late" at the party. Of course, later in life she learned how to sing well enough to star in Grease as Rizzo. It's a shame we see so little of her singing.
@@doris1755 Also, according to wikipedia.org " In 1997 she starred in a Broadway revival of Grease, playing Rizzo." found on page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Blair....6th paragraph down under the Career heading.
Although my dad being a alcoholic and mom with a rare drink, I never took a drink of alcohol until 21. To present, I do not drink because I never wanted to be a alcoholic like my father. Too much damage!
I remember watching this when it was first shown on TV...the drunk singing party scene in particular. I drank my whole life...sobered up at 52. Nine years sober these days. Thank you AA and God!
It's like a false sense of escape. Pain trauma, stress. But it eats away at you. Your not in control the Alchahol is.I pray that anyone struggling get help please your worth much more to value yourself and others to. It hurts people to 😢😢😢Jess x
2 weeks sober from beer I've been drinking everyday since the age of 17 I'm now 30 on anxiety medication no urges drank because I didn't feel like I fit in and was weird also❤️🙏🏻🌹 Merry Christmas everyone it's never too late
I don't understand WHY Linda Blair went from The Exorcist , number one movie in the WORLD - to cheap TV movies ? She should have done what people NOW say to do: If you can't get a lead role in a good movie- take a smaller role in a GREAT movie. But, I guess there were not a lot of roles for gals in that "awkward phase". Again , look at Jodie Foster.
Heavy guns for a movie like this: Pazuzu the Demon, JR Ewing, Luke Skywalker, Mr. Feeney, all directed with a professional hand by the guy who directed Superman The Movie. Blair is actually pretty good as the troubled kid. Trying to break the Exorcist stereotype (only 2 years after that movie). She couldn't really do that, but that wasn't her fault.
And I'm 21 and I relate to this movie on a emotional level. First tried my first drink (passion fruit liquor) at 18, during summer holidays in August after finishing high school and got hooked. I love booze so I stick to tea. Sometimes, I guess, no matter how much willpower you have and how disciplined you are, you can't make yourself hate what you love. It warms me, it makes me happy, I just love booze as much as I love tea. I don't drink for the taste (although I need it to be tasty or at least tolerable) but purposefully to get buzzed or tipsy. For its effects. Even now I still convince myself that I'm just a college student, everybody drinks, I'm normal, etc. But then I find myself SOMETIMES not everyday ofc, putting rum in my orange juice on a morning Saturday before 1pm, at 11 or even 10. I still convince myself that everything is fine, it's okay to want to get tipsy, after all you deserve some gratification for your good grades. I would go months without a drop but eventually I'll miss it. I would use my cash instead of my credit card so my parents don't find out that I bought a can of mojito desperados and drank it in the city center not to do it at college cuz I wanted to. I'd use concealer to hide my flush, I'd bite my lips before seeing my mom (wind makes your lips blue) I'd drink baileys before bed disguised as cocoa, I'd drink wine straight from my parents' box when my mom was in the garden. I did things I'd have NO courage to tell 'em even today. Today the weather was very gray and I wanted a drink. I didn't and drank tea instead. Now, imma spend more months without booze. Breaks are necessary because otherwise I know it won't end well. Some people say : if you wonder whether or not you have a problem. You probably do. I guess... I have one. But to me an alcoholic is someone who has shaky hands in the morning, someone who goes perhaps to meetings, someone who can't stop once they started. So it does not concern me. Many college students drink, many countries do it on a cultural level. Animals like to get drunk on magnolia flowers or berries. How the heck am I supposed to abstain from something that I love and that is UNIVERSALLY rooted, legal and normalized??? I believe that booze is one of the many best inventions made by humans. I'm glad it exists. I love my liquor, I do, but I'll never admit it to my family. They believe I drink for the taste. Sometimes I wish I could find some drinking buddies BUT who are also intellectual people with whom I can have deep talks. Who'd love booze like I do, and we'd call ourselves "alcoholics" as a joke, drink together without judging one another for it. I just wanna experience this. This young, wild, fresh feeling of being a teenager in her 20s. Who drinks cuz she loves to, without being judged or owing anyone any explanation. After all, I'll never get wasted, I know my limit. I just wanna be half drunk. Enough to be the one to always hold other ppl's hair, to be able to drive. Instead, I have none to go out with. So I drink secretly alone, sometimes in the garage, hidden without my parents knowing, dancing on some Abba with a bottle of wine. Then, I also heard people say : drinking alone or with people changes nothing. Social alcoholics are no different from alone drinkers. When you drink to get drunk, just to drink, even with friends, you're isolating yourself. Booze can be a people gatherer like food and music, but it can also isolate. I guess, having a flirty relationship with booze makes you think. Doubt. Question yourself. Make yourself uncertain. It makes you think a lot. For now, we're just friends with benefits, who sometimes don't see each other for months. I'll make sure no to turn it into a love relationship. It's only my responsibility to stay careful and be wise. Take care of yourself. Lots of love ☺️😘🫶
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek well idk about sober... I still drink on events. Problem is, if I drink on an occasion, I want to keep the fun going the next day... I had to celebrate graduation from university very recently. I got drunk and happy. No hangover the next morning but little tummy ache. Didn't stop me from drinking the next day. Didn't drink for 2 weeks and today drank again cuz went to a restaurant. Sadly I had only one glass of Martini... Wanted to drink more but no booze left at home. I told, after finishing my martini, the waiter that I wanted a litchi liquor. He didn't understand and gave me litchi as a dessert... I pretended not to seem disappointed in front of my family but deep down... MAN I DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT LET ME GET DRUNK!!! ah, coming home mind was full with these thoughts... But nothing in the house. It's crazy how even being completely busy, singing, drawing, reading, there are still glimpses of these obsessive thoughts about booze... I'm currently drinking water right now... Ofc not happy about it, but hey, it's healthier... Sending you love, thx a lot ❤️
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek but if you mean taking care by being healthy yeah, I do eat healthy and drink tea every day aha. Thanks ❤️ Idk if you saw my previous comment because I don't see it anymore 😅
I was a teenage alcoholic and the disease progressed for 35 years until I finally had a breakdown but still didn't get sober until 47 years old! Wasted my whole life. For anyone seeking recovery, don't give up....help is out there and gosh is it a great life!!! ❤ I'm 3 years sober and never going back again!!! ❤
Congrats Dee.
I have a similar story.
❤
Keep that up girl. I've been an alcoholic too, I guess. Just because you don't drink every day doesn't mean you're not one. I used to drink and not being able to stop at the right time. It always had to go on until oblivion. I stopped from one day to the next. It happened through pure fear. I was 47 and my dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons desease. One night I was f*cked up, also been smoking some pot. Then it hit me: if I get a phonecall tonight that my dad has been taken to the hospital, I'll not even be able to stand up straight. Let alone attend. That created such anxiety that I stopped drinking.13 years ago. I have had a few drinks since than, but somehow it doesn't do anything for me anymore. Just makes me tired and cranky. My first drink this year will probably be half a glass of champagne at New Years Eve...
What I'm trying to say is: there are many, many forms and shapes of alcohol abusus. I've been to rehab four times, due to combination of tranquillizers and alcohol. But that thing about my father did it.
Thank you for sharing! I became basically an alcoholic from my first drink at age 22. I finally quit for good 10 years later, but it took me 5 serious tries.
Congratulations !! I relapsed at 12 years but I'm back God it was hell ,pure hell that relapse ,back to one day at a time but I know ill never leave again
Thank u all for sharing. Im struggling bad. My insides are letting me know this it. I need to get right. I have to. ❤
Some movies on RUclips are far more enjoyable than most movies on Netflix.
@Adam Donaldson After more than 40 years, this movie still excites me. Its theme is more relevant today.
smart how she ordered the booze

PREACH
It’s all I ever watch love the olde ones!!! Always have a message or a point usually not every single one but majority!
I was always able to freely admit I was an alcoholic. Me and my friends were brutally self-aware, but we didn't care, didn't take it seriously. Made a joke of it. We'd stock the apartment full of booze and say: "Welcome to alcoholism." I drank like a fish from ages 14 to 34. Just drank copious volumes of liquor like it was water. My parents were alcoholics who fought all the time, After all the insane car accidents, some of my friends deaths due to alcohol and drugs, losing a 2 and half year girlfriend that I lived with (the only real relationship/girlfriend I ever had) because of my alcoholism, all the jobs I lost, the people I wronged, and a mountain of legal problems that my drinking caused, I finally quit drinking 2 years ago. Hands down the best thing I ever did for myself. I'm still putting my life back together after all the damage. Quitting drinking doesn't make your life easier, but it sure as hell makes it a lot more manageable. If I can quit, anyone can.
Did you get any damage from it ? From 14 to 34 ?! Holy lord... You probably had shaky hands in the morning right ? You could have died if stopped cold turkey.
And did you drink from 14 to 34 EVERY SINGLE DAY?! hope not... And when you say copious like water, how much ? 20 liters per day ? Did you drink until passing out ?
And I'm so proud of you!!!
@@emnemnem1889 Thankyou so much Em. I think I may have liver damage. I did drink everyday or damn near everyday for all those years like someone looking to die. I drank at least a 750 ML of Jameson everyday on top of cases of beer. I would drink myself into blackouts all the time, and when I was blacked-out, I was a crazy fucker. I had black out rage issues. I once sent a dude who started a fight with me to the emergency room with every bone in his face broken, and his eyeball was dangling out of his face by it's cord. It was hands down the worst ass-whooping I've ever seen anyone take. I don't even remember beating him. He started a fight with me in my own house tho...so that's one example of my black-rage. The biggest reason I quit drinking is how angry and depressed I became when drunk. I was a hurting guy who had alot of childhood truama I wasn't dealing with in a healthy way. I promise I'm a nice guy, and don't drink anymore. So that's behind me.
The few, and I mean few times I have drank any alcohol in the last 2 years. I had one drink and I got a horrible migraine for several hours afterwards. Like head on fire, someone drilling into my eyeballs with a power drill migraine. So I think my liver is shot. A migraine can be an indication of a serious underlying health issue. I did quit cold turkey. I took Kratom everyday to counteract my alcohol withdrawals. Kratom really helped me.
@@micahrutland991 Oh my... You're very strong keep it up!
In my case, I'm just a 20 years old girl whose parents are (thankfully normal) but still surrounded by many drunks, such as my uncle, two cousins, another aunt, another cousin and a close friend of mine. Recently she (my friend) had lost her job bcz her health couldn't allow her to work any longer. She has fatigue, and is sick all the time hence instead of medications she numbs it with booze. She wasn't fired, but she just physically can't work anymore. Just like you she started early. At 15. She's been drinking for 19 years and she doesn't want to quit cuz of depression, fear of withdrawals etc (at least she was honest w me)
She actually has an ulcer, a mild hepatitis with gastritis and still this doesn't make her want to quit. Idk what to do anymore. Even when my boyfriend tried to talk to her it was useless. I feel worried for her. Since her job loss she's been spending her time wasted 24/7 (sthg she never did cuz she would always wait for work to end to drink) she's a teacher btw.
She's been waking up heck knows where, at random times and everyday I'm worried. Nothing happened yet but she could get hit by a car, choke on her own vomit or heck knows what. Yeah idk what to do...
Sounds like you worked the 12 steps. Good for you.
@@leapinglaura7343 actually I didn't. But sadly 6 members of my family are alcoholics as well as a friend. Thank lord my parents aren't, so yeah I have knowledge. Myself I'm a teaholic and drink only on events
This movie is so accurate. It was so easy to drink in the 70s and 80s, as a preteen, teenager. My parents had parties almost every weekend and drank all of the time. I was so easy to sneak alcohol without them knowing. I became addicted to alcohol and finally quit it altogether when I turned 33. My parents are in their late 70s and still drink dally. I am so glad that i quit drinking.
Did they ever know about your addiction and how you started drinking?
Congratulations Denise !! You had to have hard times and stopping drinking isnt that easy..especially if your parents drink every week-end.. its a victory you only owe to yourself
Good for you, honey!
Also smoking. We would take my friend’s mom’s cigarettes out in the woods to smoke at the age of 14!
@@Purplenpinkk@Purplenpinkk yes! I smoked in my bedroom and my parents never noticed. They supplied those too. They'd leave cartons of menthols in the fridge. So easy to take. Parents of the 70s and 80s were clueless. I don't keep cigarettes or alcohol in my house, now at all. I have a 14 year old.
Linda Blair was my age when this came out. She even lived in the next town over from me. We used to see her in the supermarket. This film got a lot of exposure at the time it came out. Some of us took the warning and others didn't. I was in a similar situation until 1992, when I quit drinking. My whole late teens to young adult life was a blur. There were some epic good times and some very bad times, but I was lucky that I never hurt myself or anyone else.
That's so amazing!!!!!
Did u know her?
This is an excellent movie! I wish they still made movies like this the world needs it!
The world still needs to BE LIKE THIS!!
I remember when this movie came out when I was a kid.
Linda Blair was a beautiful teenager. Today, she's still beautiful. She was excellent in this movie.
Very cute. She still got baby fat on those cheeks! lol
Super cute in The Exorcist.
Teens today are not as beautiful as they used to be they are more uglier now teens in the 70s and 80s were way more nice looking, attractive, and beautiful than teens today now it’s all make up
@@Josh-fp2qnstop the cap lol
She looks LIKE A RODENT YA KNOW CUTE WHAT TF
Pretty much a genuine reality from start to end. Some people never are able to admit it, are never able to take the first step toward a really amazing life on the other side. Great acting by Linda, wow!
she had talent from day 1
Right?
These people drink so much it's ridiculous, but don't you dare call them alcoholics: they're in total denial!🙄

@@trickolas78and here you are watching
So many parents even today are so caught up in the embarrassment that they feel that they make a child’s drug or alcohol problem about themselves rather then being genuinely concerned with helping the child’s recovery.💔😢
Great point!
Well said
Even at this tender age Linda has that deeply moving quality of almost passing through the screen
and affecting one emotionally. It is impossible to watch Linda and not feel an emotive
connection to her character. I feel it very strongly here, as I did when watching Born
Innocent and The Exorcist.
Born innocent is a rough movie with an unapologetic, uncompromising ending.
She acts so well with her eyes…
"F*CK ME Jesus " 😅 Linda is a fine actress😂
Born Innocent was a very good movie that i watched for the 1st time as a 10yr old..
I never forgot what she endured while in that place
and it often occured to me as a teen when faced with
certain peer pressures that could lead to trouble
where i myself could end up in a place like that.
I can safely say it very well mite have saved my life in many ways.
(Wife here using husbands RUclips account 😉)
Going to watch Born Innocent for the first time. Didn’t know about it till now. Hope it’s on RUclips 🇨🇦❤️
This was a blinder 😅I remember seeing this back in the early eighties 🍺🍻🥃
I went through alcoholism and recovered without help and I’ve been dry for 12 years 🎉
Alcoholism is hellish and so easily to slip into ✊✨💙🍀
As a shy introverted and lonely teen, alcohol seemed like a way to come out of my shell. I just wish it didn't work so well. It wasn't long before I began having far more bad nights than good.
I can relate.
Personally love Linda Blair. This was a very raw and real movie. I loved how the 70s and 80s portrayed those with eating diorders, additions, and especially alchoholics as well.
Me too ! Linda Blair is the most underappreciated actress ever!
Yeah same here
The ending broke my heart... I was hoping for a happier ending for her. But I gotta say this film is really realistic with lengths alcoholics will go and how sometimes they do something really horrible before they realize they need help
This is the first time I've seen this movie,
@@terrymarvin I love it! It’s so realistic and teen alcoholics although they exist are rarely ever acknowledged. This film did great.
If you knew anything about the disease of Alcoholism then you'd know this was a very happy ending.
@@camillemagdalena1761 I’m saying that because she hit rock bottom and ended up killing the horse and her family still wasn’t listening to her.

Too much sweaty polyester in my opinion. But I like the styles.
Very good movie. Linda Blair is a wonderful actress. I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. I was in junior high at the time. I thought back then this movie would scare kids into not trying alcohol. Unfortunately, it didn't.

Directed by the late, great Richard Donner who passed away a few weeks ago. Aftet this TV movie, Donner went on to direct The Omen, Superman, Goonies, Lethal Weapon 1 -4 and a ton of other films. RIP Dick Donner. You will be missed.
A fine cast of actors/actresses. The issues are STILL relevant in 2023. There must be some way of making this part of school curriculum.
I too was a teenage alcoholic and a poly addict. I was a bit younger, I started my career at 12 and I was obsessed straight away. After the destruction of my school life, my insane "love" life all of my jobs ended the same way. 30 years later 8.12.2022 I had a psychic change, thank you God! I don't give out advice, all I can say is I didn't trust people, I had a beautiful dream where I was baptised in it. Life is beyond amazing. Not everyone gets the chance to live two lives. God bless!! xxx
My best friend at school was an alcoholic by 15. At 16 it was so bad I couldn't even hang out with her, she was so reckless and destructive. She wasn't happy unless she was drinking. We don't talk about teenage addiction enough
Was this in the 70s or a couple years ago?
Mark Hamill acts his butt off in this. Superb job.
Yup…before he became a Jedi!!!
I remember this movie Sarah T Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic starring Linda Blair in 1975 that was a made for TV movie I've seen it on late night TV and I've watched it a million times over the years Linda Blair did a great job doing the movie she was an icon from back in the day!!!!!

Can you dig it!!!!!!!
👍👍 The movies were good back then. Now *nothing comes on Saturdays* or any other time !!
@@SUGAR_XYLER This was at a time when television movies were a powerful commodity for the networks.
Incidentally, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the popular television movie 'Brian's Song'--the one that television movies are measured against.
Duel, The Night Stalker, The Spell, Bad Ronald, etc etc. The 70s had the greatest TV movies. My fondest memories of growing up in the 70s were the rainy Saturday afternoons where I’d watch these movies. I’m grateful they’re on DVD or RUclips.
Needed as today I see the teens carrying around a quart of Hennessy 😮one shot per hour the liver needs to metabolize....
The irony is that Larry Hagman, the actor who portrayed Sarah's father, struggled with alcoholism.
It's not really ironic. Alot of people struggle with alcoholism in silence.
Yes, very unfortunate especially when he was on Dallas.
Ahhh, pay phones before cell phones. I miss those. I was born 1972...
Watching this has me recall back to the eighties, when we actually had to try out for something. I'll never forget trying out for chorus in the end of my sixth grade year. I sang Lionel Richies Song " Hello" .
. Is it me your looking for ( I still remember it word for word ) Anyway, my name was on the paper taped to the chorus door. I was surprised actually. SO I was in Chorus when I began the seventh grade.
My daughter who is a junior in college now, all she had to do was sign up for Chorus when she was in High School. I would say.. " You know, back in my day, we actually had to try out...Lol
I tell you though they had an excellent Chorus when she in High School. I loved watching those precious young people perform. ( I turn 51 next month, and time just flies by ) I apologize for my rambling.
I took 7 years of chorus in school and made accapella choir and got to compete in
Canada. Our choir won 4
1st place trophies in everything we competed. 🏆 I was put in charge of caring for the all those trophies and won a scholarship 😃
Thank you so much for posting this✨ I was 12 when this came out and had forgotten the movie yet I found a reference to it recently in an old childhood diary...now I remember. Wow, a lot to think about. Great soundtrack and acting by Linda Blair, Mark Hamill, Larry Hagman and cast.
Strange trivia. The girl playing piano while the girls sing is Lisa Coleman from Prince and The Revolution and later Wendy and Lisa.

When I was really little my grandfather who was a doctor used to give me small amounts of alcohol. I accepted it as the norm since I was six years old. When I got older it was still normal for me. In later life I lost almost everything because of alcohol. Grew up in the 70s

Emmy, Oscar, Grammy & Tony Winner La Linda Blair! We love our Queen!
I love Linda and in fact the lady I loved and lived with in the early 90s looked very much like her.
But it's not true she won all the awards you listed, Rita Moreno actually did win the Oscar Emmy Grammy and Tony awards.
Linda nominated for Best Supporting Actress in THE EXORCIST and won a few lesser ones including a Razzie or 2.
A human being who has dedicated most of her life protecting and saving animals with her foundation, tells us the amazing lady, Linda Blair is. I think she believes this is her true legacy and her films are proof of how hard she worked since an early age, and that work is now there for generations to come, even of after she's no longer with us. That's simply my goal as a writer/actor, but it doesn't define who I am. Blair is very smart for she's used her fame, her work to fund her true calling and passion, the Linda Blair Foundation. Love you, girl!!

I remember watching this movie when it came out on TV, I was 15 also and could identify with the Linda Blair's character. Kids at that age were not only drinking, but using drugs as well. We were known at "stoner's" back then. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have never started any of that back then, because it only led me to addiction that was so destructive. I'm not even happy with the fact I became clean and sober in 2019 relieved yes, happy, no. There are so many other ways to deal with issues that lead to addiction.
Yyikes
Give yourself some forgiveness. We all make mistakes. Let’s remember our mistakes and turn that pain into something beautiful.
@@Leahmoonbeamflower thank you so much. I totally agree with what you said. It took me awhile to find my purpose and happiness in life after becoming sober, but I'm finally there! Who knew life could be so wonderful 😊
@@MGPSJ14 that’s beautiful. What purposes have you found in your life? I’d love to hear about them. I’m just now getting sober from alcohol and it feels strange…. Strange that my authentic self is slowly emerging from the dead spirits that is alcohol.
Coming alive… once again.
@@Leahmoonbeamflower how awesome for you🤗 my sobriety I really believe was divine intervention, I say this because I was addicted over 20 yrs. And never wanted to leave my addiction or even tried. For some reason it was different this time, I finally got to the point where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired plus hitting rock bottom, to the point where it was affecting my relationship with my kids. At the time I was about 3 months into my sobriety, when my then 4 yr. Old grandson became gravely I'll. Several hrs after my daughter and her husband took my grandson to the emergency we found out my grandson Izaeah had type 1 diabetes. I honestly believe in my heart God put me in the right path to get clean for my daughter and grandson. That was my purpose. I might add, I too had an addiction to alcohol. My best times now are being a grandma, love the lil buggers. I hope for you a successful sobriety and beautiful life my beautiful friend ✌🏼❤️
Fantastic Quality. Thank you.
I miss the 70's!!! I graduated in '78! It really WAS a more innocent time& ,even for girls,it took us no time to get ready for school!!
The 70s were not a more innocent time it was less kids preteens and teens were a lot badly behaved and wild than today. Todays teenagers are more well behaved than teens were in these past decades
Every generation has people who think theirs is the best generation. For someone who didn't grow up in the 70's, it seems to me the 70's had plenty of its own problems. I've watched documentaries and read history books. Plus, I had a few cousins who were representative of the documentaries and history books. Anyone who was innocent then, had blinders on.
Hey I was born in 1978 👋🏻. Want to know what I was by the age of 21?? A raging alcoholic.
Ha yeah right, my sister would be in front of the mirror for aaaaages trying to get her hair into even feathered flips
My god her parents just can't accept that she has a problem..im just glad that she recognized it herself..good movie!!
I realized for the first time Im an alcoholic watching this I don't want to stop I feel for her when she takes that first sip the youforia the feeling of being ok again great film ps I won't say I'm a victim of alcoholism because I chose to drink but a casualty of this
Are you okay?
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek yes I'm fine
@@michaelpout9701 Thanks for responding. So many people are struggling right now.
I believe your in denial.not a choice,got news for you. Ex husband said the same thing.He had a liver transplant
What a great cast...Linda Blair was my first crush as a kid growing up.I haven't seen this since it first aired over 40 years ago..R.I.P. ..M. Emmet Walsh.
He's still alive I just checked, he's 88 yrs old, he was one of those actors that always looked older then he was.
You mean 50 years, or 49 at this typing. We're in 2024! It's hard to believe it's been that long. And I still have a crush on Linda Blair. Good looking WOMAN now.
Very powerful film this hits me hard as my uncle was alcoholic this film was so gripping one of the best films ever seen for a long time please who ever has this problem please get help before it’s too late🙏♥️
The best part is when she smashes the potato salad on the girl at the party. This movie is like a 70's All Stars TV movie. I recognize so many of these people. It's cool seeing Bill Thornbury pre-PHANTASM.
I love him, I wish he could've had a bit more to do in the film, maybe sing☺️
I am here for the 70s Glassware and interior decorations 😅
The wallpaper in that house is hilarious.
I'm surprised they had an older 50's fridge in that kitchen in 1975. I would think they would have a then current model in avocado, harvest gold, or coppertone brown...🤣
At least it’s not all gray, stainless and sterile looking.
Bland and corporate.. like so many people! The 70' s might be the decade that taste forgot, but it was also a good time to buck commercialism and make your own anything!
@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts love the 70s, my mom drove a ORANGE 🍊 colored 2 door oldsmobile omega, with beige vinyl top 😆. I love my baby pictures, the faux wood panel finished basement walls, a LIME green fridge , Avon, and the phone was a rental Lime green 💚 bell Atlantic. The 70s had bell bottoms and bright style, men with huge hair and side burns. Haha
How very true...my parents were both alcoholics. father in his grave, mother in her 80s still drinks every day.
Always in denial.
My sister and i have a drink once in a blue moon but only one or two.
It turned us off seeing the results and that was every night.
We were not allowed to have friends over, could not ask anyone to stay, had to arrange lifts with the car the day before as they would start as soon as they got home.
We are in our 50s now.
Cannot bear to be around drunk people now.
Drunk people look so foolish to me

Describes my life entirely ! I've been drinking since I was about to turn 15 ! I'm 20 now, and can't quit. My anxiety is gone when I drink, and I can actually socialize with my friends, instead of being quiet, n awkward. I really want to get my life put together, and only drink on occasions, but it's difficult to just quit, but I crave the taste of malt liquor. Preferably Mickeys ! I'm actually drinking some while watching the movie. Whoever is dealing with this issue. I pray we all can get better, n defeat alcoholism ! Send everyone who's reading this pure love, and pure intentions
I've been clean and sober 115 days you have to be ready it's a process. I wish you the best may you be able to kick the habit soon.
I'm drinking while watching this too. I think a lot of these AA folks are over the top though. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I have extreme anxiety all my life and if drinking a little takes some of the edge off, so be it. I've also had extreme trauma to deal with. Not rock bottom issues, real life tragedies. Things I can't unsee. Go easy on yourself hun. We can be our own worst enemies sometimes. Best wishes x
Please stop drinking forever!🙏🏼
I just turned 71 and am now not much older than Linda Blair in real life. I too am a recovering alcoholic. Sounds to me like you have to drink a little more before you're ready to quit. If you're certain you ARE an alcoholic and are ready to face up to it, then you can save yourself the misery that is sure to follow. Go to an AA meeting. You'll find someone like yourself there, I promise. He/she could even be your "sponsor", who will guide you through the "12 Steps" to recovery. Remember, just "One Day at a Time", no more. Quitting won't seem so hard that way. See, I've just done a Twelfth Step! Good luck.
Honestly it's okay to be quiet and awkward, it's your friends fault if they can't accept you the way you are, perhaps it's your own fears and imagination that you think they wont.
Mr. Feeny and Luke Skywalker! Didn't know I was gonna see them in this. Linda Blair was awesome. My cousin use to show up at my house drunk at 16. Well she died at 32. Directly from alcoholism. I miss her everyday and wish she had gotten the help she needed. Good movie.
I'm so sorry... Did she ever try to quit?
Feeney! Thank you, I knew I knew that voice but I didn't recognise him younger
I can’t believe that’s Mr. Feeney he was so young! I’m so sorry for your loss
I cracked up when he said his horse was old ABOUT 11 years old ! Horses live into twenty’s and thirty plus .. 11 is a great age they are strong and reliable
My cousin was that way and still is. Back when we were 15 16 years old, we would get a case of beer, and always we ran out, even with only three of us drinking it. I'd get maybe 4 beers out of it. This happened all the time, and I noticed it was when Dan was drinking with us. My Mom asked me one day to come into the living room. She said, "Look at this and lifted up a chair in the living room. Hidden in the springs of the chair were about ten cans of now warm beer. Mom said, "There's where all the beer is going." I asked Dan about it, and he said, "I needed to make sure I got my share. Anyway, I gotta go." "Where you going?" I said. He said, "Guy down the street is buying six twelve packs of beer. I go where the beer is." That's when I knew he was alcoholic. He's 64 years old now, and he hasn't gone a day without drinking for decades. Drunk everyday. It's his whole live. I surprised he's still alive. He smokes a pack a day, too. I asked him when was the last time he went a day without at least a 12 pack, and he answered, "I don't remember."
It's a terrible addiction. The shock you get when you stop is frightening. Been through it myself.
I really love Linda Blair
I believe the poor sweet girl sacrificed so much of her childhood...well bravo. I hope that Linda Blair finds some peace. She us an Angel.
Claire Bloom rocked at as a difficult mother! "I did this for YOU! I went through a lot of trouble for YOU! Can't you APRECIATE that?" 😁😆
Big time OOPS! I meant Verna Bloom, not Claire Bloom, LOL! 😂😂
Such a sad movie. But so great and realistic. They don't make them like that anymore :')
Amen
This show made me THINK...thank you
I don't like the party scene in this movie, because when I see that, I hear stories about underage drinkers.
Me too .
Pazuzu is making Regan drink that firewater!! 🔥🥃🔥
Bahahahahahaha
Hahahhaha
Ha I have been wondering when I’m going to run into one these ones
😆
Linda Blair and Mark Hamill are great in this. Still relevant to teens and addiction today.
Molly Shannon brought me here. LOL! Mary Catherine Gallagher. I adore the 70's and the movies. I enjoyed going back in time, I sure do wish this era would return.
Larry Hagman You are sadly missed
I remember seeing this on tv when i was 10 yrs old in '75. Never made me want to drink after seeing this. And I never did. Linda Blair was a great actress!
This was a powerhouse performance by Blair if only she had better offers after The Exorcist
She probably wanted a normal life
I 5hink the singing was a bad idea.
Everyone forgets about Roller Boogie. Why?
@@Mister_Listener because it was exploitation crap that anyone would forget
@Mister_Listener it is a great movie
I started drinking when I was 10 I didn't realize I was alcohol dependent and then I read the big book I am now 30 got clean when I was 29! Life is still Rocky but, oh the positive outcome it's already brought me!
Which big book? The bible?
Gosh 10
@@emnemnem1889 The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous/AA
The book that should be labeled for EVERYONE called Alcoholic annominous (I can't spell sorry) but it's a book of life for everyone to lead life with healthiness and love! I also study the Bible God is my higher power for sure without him I'd be back were I was 6 years ago!
@@emnemnem1889 yes! 10! Waste only way to escape the abuse and drinking followed me when I moved out at 15 people say it's so easy just don't buy it but Noone understands the deep hold it has on you when have done it since a child even if you haven't drinking can still drank you down it's the devil in disguise! I love living sober!
this can easily be a lifetime movie
Whatever became of the charming young man who played Ken? I hope things went well for him.
I love this:( Linda Blair is just amazing! 😭❤️🌈
Linda Blair is NOT "amazing." Every single thing she made in the 70's (aside from "The Exorcist"), she played a COMPLETELY whiny little bitch who can't act.
She does get the award for WAAA! WAAAA!-ing though.
P.S. - She can't sing worth shit. her singing is as bad as her acting.
Ah thanks for the name..😀🙂linda blair ..She was a good actress ..she reminds me Dj in full house in a younger version..her facial features are à bit similar..
Thumbs up if you ever wore or remember Sarah's overalls.
I think about “Children repeat and copycat the pattern of their parents behavior,demeanor !”eventhough they hate it ..
Unfortunately, alcoholism doesn't affect just the alcoholic. It hurts those who care about them. It tears up families & passes down to tear up more family. How many innocent strangers have been the victim of an alcoholic? My heart goes out to all, alcoholic, their families & those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I grew up around an alcoholic & at 60 years old I'm still trying to forgive the person who was the alcoholic. Especially as he quit drinking when my favorite person passed away instead of quitting before. Alcoholism doesn't have to continue down the generations & my family is now proof of that. Getting sober is the best thing any alcoholic can do for themselves. Probably the hardest going they will ever do but so very worth it.
This is still a problem mainly because some adults think it's okay for their children to get drunk at a young age then they wonder why they get into other things because you thought one beer is okay .
In the 70s this was a problem today it’s not the news says that underage drinking has declined
Very good movie but very ironic in some ways. Mainly Larry hagman playing the father. The man was really an alcoholic in life so much so he had one liver transplant that he ruined by drinking. They wouldn't give him a second one for that very reason
Parents who have liquor 🥃 cabinets and if u don’t lock 🔒 them up, things like this happen all the time!!!!!! I have been an alcoholic for years and then I quit, and they tell us, when u drink 🍺 and quit, and start again and then ur no longer a recovering alcoholic ur back to being an alcoholic again!!! Then if u we’re having health problems and u start again and ur health continues being worse!!!!! I didn’t drink 🍹 that young, I didn’t like alcohol 🍷, but I was into drugs!!! So Parents need to keep alcohol away from minors!!!! Because they will sooner, or later start one of the two!!! Alcoholic or Drug Addict!!!! My Bad Childhood and Past Marriage Caused Me These Problems and Mental Problems Too!!! Just Saying!!!! Good Luck 👍🍀 To U All !!!!
This is a great movie; love the 70's setting. The prices, the clothing....everything! Linda is gorgeous and a great actress.....No way Mark Hamill was in this.
What are you talking about? Mark was Linda's date.
I thought so as well. Remember, this was before "Star Wars".
its interesting watching shows like this the fashions nobody on a cell phone it is pretty accurate. the only thing missing is the teens then where I grew up many of them smoked cigarettes and other stuff as well.
Katherine im an alcoholic and took my first drink at 11 because i was nervous for a large high school. Always had jugs of wine, homemade beer, and i could drink the booze but not the mix..pop. My entire family drank through trauma, mental health issues, it works for a time band aid but reality is still with u but now you have a shitty hangover and a load of guilt plus trying to recall everything...( black out i became )..In the late 80s early 90s im so lucky GOD was watching over me..Stupid things.I was blessed to not be raped or at least to my knowledge...NOW THAT IS AN ALCOHOLIC....Self loathing and mental health has made it a bit hard.. But ill take my worst day Sober than my BEST day drunk any day. P.S if you go to A.A and stay ,it will ruin you for drinking now you found another way. BLESS YOU ALL.
Bless you too. I understand about self loathing. It is comments such as yours which bring people closer together because some people just Understand.
I really enjoyed Linda's vocals on "It's Too Late" at the party. Of course, later in life she learned how to sing well enough to star in Grease as Rizzo. It's a shame we see so little of her singing.
Linda Blair wasn’t the actress who played Rizzo in grease.
@@kellymurphy6642
Were they possibly talking about the Broadway play?
@@czechchicklet6890 could be
She. Didn't. Play. Rizzo
@@doris1755 Also, according to wikipedia.org " In 1997 she starred in a Broadway revival of Grease, playing Rizzo." found on page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Blair....6th paragraph down under the Career heading.
Although my dad being a alcoholic and mom with a rare drink, I never took a drink of alcohol until 21. To present, I do not drink because I never wanted to be a alcoholic like my father. Too much damage!
Is that Mark Hamill and Larry Hagman in the same GodDamn movie 😲😲😲😲!!!!!!! This movie is the fucking GOAT!!!!!!
Wasn't the red haired girl Carol, on the Brady Bunch, on one episode ,and also that blonde girl in the beginning, at the glee club try outs?
They don't call booze Spirits for nothing.
I remember watching this when it was first shown on TV...the drunk singing party scene in particular.
I drank my whole life...sobered up at 52. Nine years sober these days. Thank you AA and God!
Linda honey you did some great roles after the Exorcist! Bravo!
It's like a false sense of escape. Pain trauma, stress. But it eats away at you. Your not in control the Alchahol is.I pray that anyone struggling get help please your worth much more to value yourself and others to. It hurts people to 😢😢😢Jess x
Thanks for putting this on. Very good quality!
2 weeks sober from beer I've been drinking everyday since the age of 17 I'm now 30 on anxiety medication no urges drank because I didn't feel like I fit in and was weird also❤️🙏🏻🌹 Merry Christmas everyone it's never too late
Linda Blair and Luke Skywalker. Great job!!
As a kid, there was never alcohol in the house. I always wondered how kids landed it. Naïveté at its finest.
I don't understand WHY Linda Blair went from The Exorcist , number one movie in the WORLD - to cheap TV movies ? She should have done what people NOW say to do: If you can't get a lead role in a good movie- take a smaller role in a GREAT movie. But, I guess there were not a lot of roles for gals in that "awkward phase". Again , look at Jodie Foster.
Heavy guns for a movie like this: Pazuzu the Demon, JR Ewing, Luke Skywalker, Mr. Feeney, all directed with a professional hand by the guy who directed Superman The Movie. Blair is actually pretty good as the troubled kid. Trying to break the Exorcist stereotype (only 2 years after that movie). She couldn't really do that, but that wasn't her fault.
Oh shyytt I knew I recognized that Feeny voice!! Fefefeeeennnyy!!!
excellent movie, thoughtful, accurate, and not over the top. extremely high-quality production.
I relate to this. I got sober when I was 19 I’m now 21, I was just like her
And I'm 21 and I relate to this movie on a emotional level. First tried my first drink (passion fruit liquor) at 18, during summer holidays in August after finishing high school and got hooked. I love booze so I stick to tea. Sometimes, I guess, no matter how much willpower you have and how disciplined you are, you can't make yourself hate what you love. It warms me, it makes me happy, I just love booze as much as I love tea. I don't drink for the taste (although I need it to be tasty or at least tolerable) but purposefully to get buzzed or tipsy. For its effects. Even now I still convince myself that I'm just a college student, everybody drinks, I'm normal, etc. But then I find myself SOMETIMES not everyday ofc, putting rum in my orange juice on a morning Saturday before 1pm, at 11 or even 10. I still convince myself that everything is fine, it's okay to want to get tipsy, after all you deserve some gratification for your good grades.
I would go months without a drop but eventually I'll miss it. I would use my cash instead of my credit card so my parents don't find out that I bought a can of mojito desperados and drank it in the city center not to do it at college cuz I wanted to. I'd use concealer to hide my flush, I'd bite my lips before seeing my mom (wind makes your lips blue) I'd drink baileys before bed disguised as cocoa, I'd drink wine straight from my parents' box when my mom was in the garden. I did things I'd have NO courage to tell 'em even today.
Today the weather was very gray and I wanted a drink. I didn't and drank tea instead. Now, imma spend more months without booze. Breaks are necessary because otherwise I know it won't end well.
Some people say : if you wonder whether or not you have a problem. You probably do. I guess... I have one. But to me an alcoholic is someone who has shaky hands in the morning, someone who goes perhaps to meetings, someone who can't stop once they started. So it does not concern me.
Many college students drink, many countries do it on a cultural level. Animals like to get drunk on magnolia flowers or berries.
How the heck am I supposed to abstain from something that I love and that is UNIVERSALLY rooted, legal and normalized???
I believe that booze is one of the many best inventions made by humans. I'm glad it exists. I love my liquor, I do, but I'll never admit it to my family. They believe I drink for the taste.
Sometimes I wish I could find some drinking buddies BUT who are also intellectual people with whom I can have deep talks. Who'd love booze like I do, and we'd call ourselves "alcoholics" as a joke, drink together without judging one another for it.
I just wanna experience this. This young, wild, fresh feeling of being a teenager in her 20s. Who drinks cuz she loves to, without being judged or owing anyone any explanation. After all, I'll never get wasted, I know my limit. I just wanna be half drunk. Enough to be the one to always hold other ppl's hair, to be able to drive.
Instead, I have none to go out with. So I drink secretly alone, sometimes in the garage, hidden without my parents knowing, dancing on some Abba with a bottle of wine.
Then, I also heard people say : drinking alone or with people changes nothing. Social alcoholics are no different from alone drinkers. When you drink to get drunk, just to drink, even with friends, you're isolating yourself. Booze can be a people gatherer like food and music, but it can also isolate.
I guess, having a flirty relationship with booze makes you think. Doubt. Question yourself. Make yourself uncertain. It makes you think a lot.
For now, we're just friends with benefits, who sometimes don't see each other for months.
I'll make sure no to turn it into a love relationship. It's only my responsibility to stay careful and be wise.
Take care of yourself.
Lots of love ☺️😘🫶
@@emnemnem1889 I am glad that you are sober. Please continue to take care of yourself properly.
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek well idk about sober... I still drink on events. Problem is, if I drink on an occasion, I want to keep the fun going the next day...
I had to celebrate graduation from university very recently. I got drunk and happy. No hangover the next morning but little tummy ache. Didn't stop me from drinking the next day.
Didn't drink for 2 weeks and today drank again cuz went to a restaurant. Sadly I had only one glass of Martini... Wanted to drink more but no booze left at home. I told, after finishing my martini, the waiter that I wanted a litchi liquor. He didn't understand and gave me litchi as a dessert... I pretended not to seem disappointed in front of my family but deep down... MAN I DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT LET ME GET DRUNK!!!
ah, coming home mind was full with these thoughts... But nothing in the house. It's crazy how even being completely busy, singing, drawing, reading, there are still glimpses of these obsessive thoughts about booze...
I'm currently drinking water right now... Ofc not happy about it, but hey, it's healthier...
Sending you love, thx a lot ❤️
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek but if you mean taking care by being healthy yeah, I do eat healthy and drink tea every day aha. Thanks ❤️
