I know most people cannot understand addiction if they have never lived it. For a person to watch another person shoot up and, that person TELLS YOU they have HIV, and you still choose to use that needle - expresses the power addiction has over your brain. I'm so glad to see Bob is clean and sober. His first venture may not have been a success (Hollywood Recovery Services), but Bob was made for so much more. He lives so others do not have to die. Thank you, Bob. I appreciate everything you've said and done.

I didn't know who Bob Forrest was until Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. He is one of my favorite celebrities! To come heaven to hell back to haven again is one hell of a medical and I think he's an amazing inspiration to us all! Drug addict or not, some way some how you cab either relate to this man or you can understand his pain suffer and redemption and this movie shows every aspect of what Bob calls "The Monster"...

Loved it
