Drunks (1997)
At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does - and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts - some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don't call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child - as they talk about their lives at the meeting

Drunks is a 1995 American drama film starring Richard Lewis and directed by Peter Cohn.
Production
The film marked Peter Cohn's directorial debut and Richard Lewis's first dramatic role as an actor. Cohn is the son of the famed talent agent Sam Cohn of ICM, who helped his son in getting client Dianne Wiest to join the film's cast.
The screenplay was written by Gary Lennon and was adapted from a play he wrote called Blackout. In the original screenplay, Jim's character was of Irish descent, but his backstory was changed to make the character Jewish in order to better suit actor Richard Lewis, who is himself Jewish. The film's budget was small, reportedly under $500,000, with the cast working for scale.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, Drunks was the last feature film to have been shot in Times Square prior to the intersection's redevelopment in the 1990s under the mayorship of Rudy Giuliani.
