* TropaholicsAnonymous: Averted. This film actually pre-dates Alcoholics Anonymous and the idea of addict support groups by a couple of decades. They did have ''rehab'' in those days, though, and sometimes alcoholics like Charlie's character would get sent to rehab centers to dry out.

''The Cure'' is a 1917 short comedy film directed by and starring Creator/CharlieChaplin. Here Chaplin plays not his usual [[TheTramp Tramp]] character, but a drunken rich fop who has been sent to a health spa to dry out. While there he manages to irritate a large man (Eric Campbell, Chaplin's regular heavy) and romance a pretty girl (Edna Purviance).
