Sarah T. – Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic

Finding herself unable to cope with the divorce of her parents and the stress of daily life, 15-year-old Sarah Travis starts drinking in secret. At first, alcohol provides comfort and release. Then it sends her life spiraling out of control.

Fresh from her success in The Exorcist (and several years away from her tenure as queen of the women in prison flicks), Linda Blair stars in this searing TV movie. Sarah, a normal teenaged girl, begins drinking socially at high school parties. She soon finds that she can’t stop–and even worse, she can’t keep her boozing a secret. After a near-tragic baby-sitting episode, Sarah decides to attend Alcoholics Anonymous, but soon she’s back on the hard stuff. Only when Sarah causes the death of a horse does she strengthen her resolve to remain “clean and sober.” Sarah T: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic tempers the more sensational aspects of the subject matter with some unforgettably poignant vignettes–including the A.A. testimony of a boy who’s even younger than Sarah.

This movie is a teaching tool about a teenage girl struggling with alcoholism to cope with her feelings of insecurity and usual problems of adolescence.
