Tonight is a druggie and alchy U.S. soldier.

He was self-medicating before the military because his mom abandoned him and took his twin sisters. But the military exacerbated his issues.

I've never seen an episode and I don't know if I ever will, but I just don't know how it's even possible for these people to go through this and let the whole world in on it.

This episode makes me cry a little.

I like this intervention specialist, but not as much as Candy Finnegan.

The episode with the soldier? Ya, I cried too-especially when he was talking about the death of his seargant and asking "why" over and over. It was very :(

My favorite is Vanvonderen (sp?). And, I've always wondered who would name their kid Candy Finnegan....it makes me think of that song....."and now we begin again...."

And, I'm glad tonight's episode was a soldier. So many people are so glad that their family/friend/spouse/whatever didn't die in the war. Little do they realize, the real war is just ahead--and it's a war to win their lives back after the battle. No one comes back from a war just as they were when they left.

My step dad was in the Vietnam war and he refuses to talk about it. He doesn't sleep well at all--even all these years later. He like, half-sleeps, still hearing every noise. My mom says he sleeps like he's waiting to be ambushed.

Reruns last night! :(

The one with the little boy whose mom sleeps all the time comes on tonight, right?

YES!

and

Don't be fooled, the Intervention DVD they have out is only four episodes from the first season.

You know what? Something about this entire episode bothers me. I think it's fake.

I guess I missed it when I was at the gym. :(

Oh well...on to the Psychic Kids thread. :D

Are these all reruns tonight?

I watched the one about the crackhead boyfriend earlier and then the one about the meth alchy "daddy's little girl."

Now I'm watching the one with the alchy father and they live in Bahhhston.

The one on now, the heroin addict from Boston is a new episode.

I thought he was an alchy. Maybe his wife was the reformed alchy.

She's a reformed cocaine addict

At the end, he said he wanted to stay "clean and sober," so I'm thinkin' he did both. I'd never seen the show before today, but that was kinda cool! It was so awesome to see him on the zipline at the end. It was like he had found total freedom. It made me :). I'll consider watching some more eps.

I love intervention! I really think they should show it in school health classes.
