The boyfriend (Shawn, I think his name was?) definitely did what he needed to do, which I think will probably help in the long run becuase he'll know how to help the alcoholic guy out.

I'm so glad the guy's partner was aggressively pursuing getting his own help. The families from past episodes who can't even take 1 hour of their precious, precious time to sit and listen and talk to people of similar experience are nucking futs and putting their recovering addicts in jeopardy.

It's becuase the human mind is more comfortable with other people having a reason to do things like dope. They do the same things in movies- no one is simply just born evil i movie land- they always have the killer or bad guy confess to some past trauma or show him being abused as a kid to explain his bad behavior. Truth is- some people are just born evil- but we always have to have a reason why. Not to say that addicts are evil- they are just sick- but it's the same though process- "there must be a reason why."

She's stuck in the 80's with the damn hats & talk about an IDIOT! Letting this strange man slide into the family & yet not know something was up? Talk about Jesus blinders. The kid had to scream out, "He FUCKED me" before she got the picture. But what amazes me most is her praying over the money she gives him to go out & buy meth with.

She's blonde now and seems to have gained some weight. She says she suffered no long-term damage. http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/index.jsp?bcpid=1452232410&bclid=1453556960&bctid=9238064001

But I think the chick who hits herself topped all this week. Poor little Eddie. Thank the Gods he was spared.

Posts: 15 (04/28/09 2:15 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	wow, did anyone see the episodes tonight? I haven't watched in awhile, so maybe they were reruns -- but crazy stuff. the first one was this guy who had no friends and didn't take care of his diabetes. his fluctuating insulin levels made him depressed, and his depression kept him from monitoring his sugar... vicious cycle... the second one was this girl who was a whiz hair stylist who worked for paul mitchell making $130K a year when she was 19, but she was super insecure, got plastic surgery, then started doing coke, then wound up a meth head. of course she quit rehab after a month, and her mom the enabler let her move back in (after the mom did a stint at betty ford clinic to address her own former coke addiction and her enablist tendencies), although she's supposedly stayed sober... really harsh stuff.

Definitely not a happy drug. I knew Casie was not going to make it, her mother was such an enabler and Casie never seemed truly committed to the process. I love how the ending said she lived with Donna but made no mention of Hank. I hope Hank hightailed it out of there. Clearly, between the daughter's addiction, her motherly love, and her weakness, she really had no room in her life for anyone else. Hope the dude is not having to pay any alimony.

I felt so bad for him and his dad just looked so, so, so sad. I think that was the first episode that made me cry.

Man. I mean...wow. I've been part of a couple really heartbreaking interventions before and Anthony's brought a lot of those memories back.

Gut.Wrenching. Not even so much the fact that you felt sorry for him, but the amount of love that was being poured out for him. When the younger brother started crying during the intervention, I lost it. Also...watch the end. Huge shock/more @++$$.
