Directed and co-written by Stuart Blumberg, THANKS FOR SHARING follows the lives of three friends who meet while attending 12-step meetings to help treat sex addition. Tim Robbins is Mike, a leader in the sex-addiction community whose twentysomething son has turned up at home after months away and is struggling with substance issues. Mike's sponsee is Adam (Mark Ruffalo, a guy who has gone six years in the program without falling off the wagon.
