The Nature Of Things: Wasted We are riding a wave of enormous change in addiction research & treatment, yet most people don’t know it and – what’s worse – neither do their doctors. In the documentary Wasted, therapist and alcoholic in recovery Mike Pond, along with his life partner filmmaker Maureen Palmer, take viewers on a very personal journey of discovery. They reveal tantalizing clues to what causes addiction and focus on compassionate evidence-based treatments that pick up where AA leaves off. Mike Pond knows addiction from the inside out. After two decades as a successful therapist helping client’s battle addiction, Mike succumbed himself. He lost his practice, his home and his family to alcoholism and ended up homeless on Vancouver’s notorious downtown eastside. For two years, Pond bounced between the streets and rundown recovery homes. The only treatment offered to him: Alcoholics Anonymous.
