is seeing portrayals of aa meetings on television that show these bored depressed people holding styrofoam cups. he said if meetings were that dreary, who would go? he said the meetings i go to are raucous, they're full of dark humor, they're stories of people who are surviving and even thriving. he said, that's why we go to meetings. and he wants that changed. i thought that was really insightful. those are the kinds of things we need and that's why we take recovering addicts into the writers' rooms to meet with them and to tell them how it really is. doug, let's shift gears a little bit. as we know, the internet has many positive and negative ways that it can be used. talk to us a little bit about how the internet has contributed to both a positive and a negative perspective on addiction treatment. well, one obvious way that the internet has contributed in a positive way is it gives us a place to go to get more information. so if through the psas that are being put out or through programming that's got a positive message around recovery and recovery from addiction, you can then go somepl
