I can relate to the cleaner so much because i grew up resenting my dad because he use to just leave me in his truck so he could go shoot up and it sucked and not only did my did my dad do drugs he was always in and out of prison and he got out a year ago and he is doing drugs againg and it sucks cause i feel like i am losing him again and watching the cleaner helps me learn how to talk to him and i wish there was someone that could have helped my uncle he died with an overdoes on pills

dbalf1, being a recovering addict living with an addict
in active addiction can not under any circumstances
be easy - neither phyiscally or emotionally. It is so unfortunate that those who need help the most are the least likely to able to afford it. Does this person
have any interest in getting clean. If so there are ways that it can be done that are cost efficient - tho
maybe not as fancy as some that are advertised. Be
careful yourself. Addiction is truely a family disease
in that it affect everyone around that is even involved
with the addict - and the toll it takes is devistating.
I was drunk for almost 40 years and have been sober
for almost 20. It wasn't easy - but it was worth it.
and I thank God for it every day of my life. and if there
is ever a way that I can help an addict that wants to
stop I will do what ever I can to help.

I am a recovering alcoholic/addict. I'm living with an alcoholic/addict/crack. I can't afford the fees it would cost to get him clean & sober, but The Cleaner helps me to relate & communicate with him, I know he's suffering. It's been a long time since I got clean & sober, and it saved my life. I really do understand addiction. And now I'm so glad to see there really is other people out there that finally are making people understand addiction. It is a deadly disease that distroys lives, alot of lives. Not only the suffering addict, but all of the people who love & care about a suffering addict, there are alot of us out here. I heard a commercial for The Cleaner, & Benjamin Bratt (who does a good portrayal) said it's in the millions. And I'm one of 'em.

The cleaner has touched my life in a big way! I wish that there was one that could have saved my brother. He died almost 5 yrs ago, from a methadone overdose. He died one month before his 25th birthday. This is one of the best shows that can touch may lives!!
