is it bad that I watch Intervention and get really pissed off that these alcoholics and general all-around fuck-ups have significant others and kids while I'm single? lol

I love the show, but thought last night's was kinda boring... was it last week where the kid dropped out of rehab and his mom bought him a first class ticket back home? that was like wtf.

I liked the one with pro cyclist and homeless crackhead Chad Gerlach. He got clean to win a few races and went back to his roots as a homeless crackhead.

yep. sometimes the enablers become addicted to the person with the addiction... i think that was a clear cut case.

I'm sure they just cherry pick the best ones for the show but I get your sentiment :p

My favorite one was the girl "addicted" to duster. She was so messed up of that stuff.

She says in a half crazed look "I feel like I'm walking on sunshine."

So now you can find youtube clips with whatever 80s band that was (the bangles?) and her doing crazy stuff.

If you devote part of your life to competing at something and you get beat by a homeless, crackhead then you should probably find something else to do. hahaha

That one, and the one where the girl had been sexually abused and couldn't swallow (so she had a feeding tube inserted in her stomach), were the biggest WTF ones I've seen.

I dig that show too. Didn't watch it last night, but... it does show you how hard some people get addicted to their poison. They just don't care about their families, friends, about themselves. It's a shame shame shame. :(

I'm sure they care very much for their family. But they're addicts so they're fucked until they get clean, and even then it's a crap shoot.

The meth ones are pretty crazy too.

One of them was a gay dude who would get all meth'd up and have random unprotected flings. He refused to get tested.

A few people have died too before the episode played... I think one was the guy who owned the tanning salons but drank rediculously amount of Skyy vodka. He was looking pretty rough.

Yeah, my GF used to see that dude around her house downtown all the time. She said he used to piss on her garbage cans because they were near a Safeway parking lot he used to call home.
