I'm both an alcoholic and suffer from mental illness. I self mediated for years. First treatment centre I went to was useless on concurrent disorders - when I tried to talk about other issues ie self injury, I was told I wasn't taking my addiction seriously enough. I finally got into a good concurrent disorder's treatment program that started me on the road to sobriety. But it wasn't until I got the help I needed mentally, thanks to a 7 week stay in psych hospital, that I was able to get any meaningful time in sobriety. You definitely have to treat both.

I liked the vid - although it was a bit graphic. One suggestion - you might want to increase the font size of the statistics in the middle section. I found it too hard to read.
