Question by SHELTIELUVER: For those who watch A&E’s “Intervention”, can you answer a question?
I saw the preview’s for tonight’s episode and they say “Something that’s never happened on Intervention happens in an unforgettable episode” and they show someone running and the cops and some girl saying “This is intervention.” Do you know what happens or what do you think happened? I’m dying to know because I really like the show. Do you think someone OD’s or someone gets shot or something? Or maybe the police just bust someone before the intervention. These people on the show are awfully lucky, they do drugs in the cars, hang out in neighborhoods they clearly don’t belong in, steal from people, etc… which are all felonies. Also, by now, don’t you think every addict knows they are on “Intervention” when they sign up and have this crew following their every move?

Answer by denise s
thanks for the reminder that it’s on tonight. sounds like a pretty good episode. i have no clue what could happen- one of your guesses is probably right. the people who agree to be on “a documentary about addiction” must not know about the show, but with its widespread popularity i bet there are going to be some folks that catch on pretty quick. then again, think of all the people we’ve seen on the show- i haven’t seen any of them,except maybe the food addicts, watching tv. fortunately, for US that is, addiction is such a huge problem, there will always be plenty of people with serious drug problems that don’t have cable- or even a tv, to be on the show. from experience, i can tell you that being an addict is a full-time job. everything you do revolves around doing drugs, looking for drugs, and finding a way to pay for your drugs. they probably aren’t watching A&E, thank god.
14 more hours until we find out what they mean by “unforgettable”!!
enjoy!

Question by MomOf2: Suggestions from recovery alcoholics and spouses of alcoholics?
My husband is a recovering alcoholic of alomst 6 months now. \he’s not the type of alcoholic to drink everyday, he’s a benge drinker. This is the first time that he has been sober this long. Last summer I left him the last time he did it and he moved out of state and I stayed here with our daughter and eventually moved on. As time went by he begged me and begged me to come back to him but I just couldn’t. I didn’t want to live my life like that. Eventually about 6-7 months later he decided to come back here and see our daughter and talked me into bing with him. The last 6 months has been amazing and he is a totally changed person just these past 6 months. He’s never been like this and he did it all on his own, not AA, couseling, nothing. The only thing he did was his doctor put him on celexa to cope with his depression in which he takes one a day and says that it has been helping him. I do love him very much and want things to work and for him to stay sober, but the ratio of alcoholics staying sober is very low. I’m just scared, I love him but can’t do it again if he messes up. Can anybody relate, what can I do?? What about some suggestions from other alcoholics??

Answer by #1FerretMom
Just stay positive, avoid stresses and encourage a healthy lifestyle. You could be his support system. Also, smoking and other addictions should be avoided if not cut out because of the association between the two, but it sounds like he is doing great. I have known people who died from drinking themselves to death, so keep that in mind.
