Other mistake: More than halfway through the film, after Gwen's room-mate has died of an overdose, she rings her sister on a phone that is not only "Emergencies Only", but it has no numbers on it. So how did she dial out?
Other mistake: Gwen's job is "writer," and it's clear that she doesn't have wealthy parents, or even any parents at all. So, no, she's not going to be able to afford a loft in Manhattan on that salary.
Continuity mistake: When Gwen and Eddie are sitting in front of the TV, the ginger snap box on her right flips over on its other side between shots. (00:58:30)
Gwen Cummings: Yeah, I know I drink a lot, I know I do because I'm a writer and that's what I do, I drink. I'm not like those people out there, I can control myself! I can, if - that - if I wanted to, I could, if I wanted. I can! I can.
Trivia: As demonstrated in the film, Equine therapy is really used in quite a few drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers in the U.S. It's used to reveal things about the patient's personality and what they do in frustrating situations. (00:37:25)
Answer: He was a hard drinker who did not take her sobriety seriously, and she realised he was not good for her.
