Is this some exercise people use to aid in their fight against the addiction? At the end of the film one of the main characters walks by a provocation and points out his index finger three times.
Does anyone have any opions or insight for me. Thanks in advance.

I kind of wondered the same thing. I'm an alcoholic and never saw that so I'm thinking it was only his thing for himself. I was thinking one day at a time.
nice emoticon, Marty.
That is a recovery tool for sex addicts called "Three Second Rule" [http://www.sexualrecovery.com/blog/sexual-addiction-recovery/basic-tools-for-sexual-recovery/]
Mark Ruffalo also does that at the start of the movie while walking on the manhattan street.
Interesting...Perhaps such a practice was alluded to in a clip that did not make the final cut. So, when i noticed the index finger thing, I had no reference point or explanation for it.
Thank you for the insight and link.

There's a scene where Mark Ruffalo says "one day at a time" while he does the gesture, which explains why he did it earlier in the film.
shareThere's a scene somewhere in the middle where Mark Ruffalo is talking to Tim Robbins and Josh Gad (or their characters rather) at a meeting and he does the finger thing while saying "ONE DAY at a TIME." I assumed that's what it meant.
shareYes, and he starts to do it a little while following behind Phoebe on bicycle during their first date. I wonder if he didn't do it completely because he realized he was trying to head into a committed relationship so didn't need it.
