Is it just me or has anyone else watched that show intervention...especially the ones dealing with opiates...and had it just shake you up? I mean i am not usually a very emotional person...but when i see those people struggling...this overwhelming feeling that i really cant explain comes over me...i guess because i was recently in their shoes...maybe?

I just wanted to say that intervention is my favorite show. I have it set to record all episodes and I watch every single one. I know it helps me with my recovery. Some episodes are so sad I have tears, especially when it comes to the children who are being raised by relatives and missing their moms and dads..
