Intervention on A&E

Mic · 04-11-2005, 03:30 AM

I tuned it in right when it was starting, pretty interesting. Two bio's: a cutter and a Vike head. Chronicled the events (and insanity) leading up to the actual intervention. I could relate to the Vike head, Panic-stricken waiting for the meds to show up, ripping the package open to get at her (looked like Norco) drugs to slam down and eliminate her concerns for hte day.

It was fair...but of course it depends on ones perspective. If I were in the throes of my addiction, it would've been more relevant.
The whole notion of an intervention, however, was well portrayed.

Excellent, do me a favor, tape it, turn off your pc, and watch it 47 times. Then let us know if you learned anything. Mic

JB-
I don't know about you, but I generally cop a mild resentment when I hear of/see stories of other addictions. I mean, aren't drugs and alcohol the ONLY addictions that can truly change how you feel?
Yeah, I know, norepinephrine, dopamine, seratonin, yada, yada all affect us, like gambling or sex or video games? I am yet to find anything that takes me where I want to go, right here, right now.
I know these other addictions cause a great deal of destructions, like drugs do, but I guess I just "don't get it".
I'll tune it in to see what the other addiction is, thanks for the heads-up.

Tina (#8).
Sunday, May 8 10:00PM ET/PT

Once a valedictorian, Tina is now a real-life desperate housewife. This mother of a three-year-old spends her days gambling her house and car payments while stoned on prescription pills. With most of her jewelry in pawn shops, and forced to take paycheck advances, Tina now writes insurance policies from home and spends her days at horse tracks and in Bingo halls. With her marriage, health and finances in complete crisis her husband Harley says that "this show may be the only thing left that can save our lives."
