The Cracker Factory (1979)

Made for TV , airing March 16th in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story : Cassie Barrett is married , a mother and overall just not a happy person.
It seems Cassie cannot even do the simple task of grocery shop without losing it and running home for seclusion.
Then Cassie is known to attempt to drink her sorrows away until she freaks out or blacks out or both.
The regular solution to all of this is that Cassie's husband usually calls in his mother-in-law , who suggests Cassie be taken to the local rehab center.
After many of these outbursts Cassie believes that the rehab center - which she refers to as 'The Cracker Factory' ;) ,is truly the only place for her.
Although Cassie knows she isn't out of her mind and so does her doctor.
Accepting that quite possibly she is an alcoholic is the beginning to a road of recovery.
