Intervention

[UZI Suicide]

Surprised there isn't a thread about this, it debuted tonight on A&E. Basically they take 2 people who are addicted to something(drugs, gambling, etc.) and follow their life story, and at the end their family/friends confront them with the help of a Professional Interventionist.

 

Tonight's episode had this chick who was a former white house intern who became addicted to morphine and crack from a guy she was dating. She moved back in with her parents and was stealing pills and stuff from her dad who was dying because he had some disease(forgot what he was). The other person on the show was this former stockbroker who was pulling in 100,000+ a year and was basically living like a king, he was addicted to cocaine and it drained all his funds and led to him being homeless. Eventually they got confronted and sent to the rehab center and have been clean for about 3 months now. It's a really powerful show, I suggest you guys watch it. Sunday's at 10 on A&E.

Yup, take the last thing that should be kept in private and spin it into a reality series.

A good 60-70% of this board could be on that show.

Yes that should help the intervention work beautifully...put it on TV.

 

Mom: "Honey we're here to talk about your drug problem."

Son: "Um...why's that camera here?"

Mom: "Oh don't worry about that...we're going to broadcast this on national TV so that all your friends know you're a cokehead."

It isn't like that, the person with the addiction agrees to be on the show. Basically the first 45 minutes of the show is just them talking about their life, how it used to be, how it is now, etc. They just don't know they are going to be confronted to go to rehab.

Oh...ok.

 

I might check it out, just out of curiosity.

Show was a riot. Especially the commercial with that goofy fucker screaming about how he has no control over ANYTHING!
