Thanks for Sharing (2013)

In the heartwarming yet poignant romantic comedy 'Thanks for Sharing' (2013), we delve into the lives of three diverse characters bound together by an unseen yet potent common foe: sex addiction. The story unfolds around Adam (Mark Ruffalo), a man who has just celebrated his five-year milestone of sobriety from his addictive tendencies. His journey has been bolstered by his mentor Mike (Tim Robbins), who himself is wrestling with his own challenges of reconnecting with his estranged son, a recovering drug addict who has recently returned to the fold. As Adam attempts to rekindle the flame of romance, he encounters Phoebe (Gwyneth Paltrow), a woman who could be his perfect match. However, the road to love is fraught with obstacles as Adam is yet to navigate the emotional waters of a relationship since acknowledging his addiction, and Phoebe maintains a firm rule against dating addicts. Meanwhile, the plot thickens as Neil (Josh Gad), a newcomer to the group, seeks Adam's guidance. Despite his earnest attempts, Neil's lack of maturity becomes evident as he struggles to control his compulsive behavior, causing distress to women in his workplace and public spaces. Yet, hope is not lost for Neil as he begins to form an unexpected platonic bond with a fellow group member, which might just be the lifeline he needs.
