Difficult to watch this show. Maybe it'll help some addicts.
I hope it helps families and friends of those who have had loved ones in trouble.

The episode with the crackhead guy Tim, (multi-instrumentalist amusement park kiddie band ringleader dude with the aspiring Britney Spears wannabe girlfriend) was fucking pathetic.

I've enjoyed the other three episodes I have seen but this one made me want to kick the TV set in. It just seemed so scripted and stupid.

The part where Tim is coming off crack, laying in the sewer pipe crying like a baby is so frustrating. And the families are so limp and weak about confronting him. He needs an ass-kicking.

Still, NC.

bump.


Did anyone see the new one with Allison, the girl that huffs like 12 cans of Dust Off each day??

Wow.

Still, NC.

That was the first episode I saw, and that one was totally hilarious. The part where his step dad says "No, that's just the beer talking," and then the dude puts the beer up to his ear and says "what's that? my step dad's an asshole?" I doubt I got the lines correct, but it was something like that.

Another funny one was the dude who was addicted to video games. The episode was just as dramatic as all the other ones, except you could not take it seriously because he was addicted to fucking VIDEO GAMES. I remember the dad crying and saying "I'm afraid that if my son doesn't quit playing video games... his life is going to go down the tubes..."

fucking gnarly episode.

i watch Intervention all the time now. NC

I know plenty of people who refuse to do Crack/Heroin/Meth because of the stigma related to it and by observing other people on it and how shitty their lives are. I've tried heroin a few times never any of the others and I'll tell you why I don't know any successful junkies/meth heads/crack heads. In fact I don't know any successful drug addicts or alcoholics. It's a pretty fucking good deterrent as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, if it's a deterrent, then great.

I have seen parts of a couple episodes, and I am not going to watch it.

The Allison episode disturbed me far more than any of the others I have seen.

is there a new season?

I couldn't believe the dementia suffered by that chick. That one truly disturbs. Her eggs were completely scrambled.

There are only 2 others that come close to that level of whack. The dude Ben who took truck loads of DXM. And Cristy...the words-can't-describe, meth & vodka fuled maniac whose the poster child of troubled youth.
