Intervention

i don't watch tv either cause i don't have cable. But its a good show about druggies of all kinds and addictions, all real, and its very interesting.

and yes im bored, usually after midnight things slow down.
 
I actually really like this show, it's very touching and you can really feel the desperation and love in both the addicts and the families.

The one last night about the meth addict who collected burls was so sad at the beginning and so great at the end.

Good show.
 
I like that the show doesn't shy away from bad endings, either. I've seen many an episode where the addicts end up relapsing and living on the streets right where they were when the show started. Rough shit.
 
i love the show i watch it when i can, no scripted bullshit.

This guy had a multi-million dollar record deal with his band, made it big....

then he fired his band, took his fortune and spent it on crystal meth...now he is living in a shitty place begging his mom for money for more drugs, and now suffers permanent heart damage..


i didn't get to finish the episode last night, but he was deciding to go to rehab or not...
 
I managed to see the first episode when it aired, and though I have a hard time staying up late enough to see new episodes I always try (Early work shifts)

One that really struck me was there was a professional driving instructor that was great during the day, then after he got off work all he could think and do was drink jack. kinda struck home to me, and that episode actually got me to calm down a LOT on my drinking. When I watched that I was at almost two fifths per day, now I'm down to maybe two shots a day.

Anyway, yeah, love the show. It's a no BS approach to addiction - I like that approach (unlike news and other shows)
 
that bulimic chick, yeah i was eating and when i heard that she was bulimic i stopped watching it cause i wanted to enjoy my food before i saw someone elses in the throne
 
More or less. I want SCIENCE on my TV, maybe comedy, but not "raw human emotion and substance abuse."

Besides, we have "Cheaters" for that, it's more entertaining.
