INTERVENTION

DID ANYONE SEE THE SHOW INTERVENTION LAST NIGHT ON THE A&E CHANNEL??????????????

THE SHOW IS WHERE FAMILIES WITH LOVED ONES THAT ARE ADDICTED TO SOMETHING (DRUGS, ALCOHOL, IN THIS CASE DUSTER,OR ANYTHING ELSE) HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO INTERVENE AND TRY TO HELP BY OFFERING THEM REHAB.
THESE FAMILIES HAVE TRIED ALL THEY CAN TO HELP THEM AND THE ADDICT WILL NOT TRY AND IS ON THE VERGE OF DEATH.

DID YOU KNOW YOU COULD GET A HIGH FROM INHALING DUSTER ( aerosol can that you use on your keyboard). I SURE DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!

THIS YOUNG GIRL IN HER TWENTIES WHO SEEMED TO HAVE IT ALL THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND MOST OF COLLEGE. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, DARK HAIR DARK EYES, POPULAR. SHE WAS TOP IN HER CLASS, COULD PLAY MANY INSTRUMENTS, AND WENT ON TO COLLEGE TO DO GREAT THINGS.

IN HER LAST YEAR OF COLLEGE SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND THAT INTRODUCED HER INHALENTS. SHE TRIED DUSTER ONE TIME AND WAS HOOKED.
SHE BARELY GRADUATED AND WENT ON TO MARRY AND DIVORCE TWICE (DUE TO HER ADDICTION).

DUSTER IS NOT ILLEGAL. SHE WOULD GO EVERYDAY AND BUY ALL THE STORE HAD. SHE WENT THROUGH 5-10 CANS A DAY. WHEN SHE WOULD RUN OUT OF MONEY TO BUY DUSTER SHE WOULD SELL HER BODY TO OLDER MEN. how sad!

DUSTER GIVES YOU A HIGH FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES SO SHE WOULD DO IT ALL DAY LONG JUST SO SHE WOULD HAVE THAT HIGH. SHE CONSTANTLY HAD A CAN UP TO HER MOUTH, INHALING.

IT CAUSED CONVULCTIONS AND CAUSED HER TO LOOSE HER MIND. SHE ALSO HAD AN EATING DISORDER AND WAS A CUTTER.

WHEN SHE WAS HIGH SHE WAS SO OPEN TO VOICE HER REAL PAIN!

WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG, HER AND HER YOUNGER SISTER WERE MOLESTED. SHE TOLD HER MOTHER BUT HER MOTHER PLAYED IT OFF LIKE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THAT CAUSED FAMILY PROBLEMS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT HER FATHER LEFT THEM AND NEVER SAID GOODBYE. SHE HAS'NT SEEN HIM SINCE.

SHE PLAINLY SAID ALL THAT IS WHY SHE IS LIKE THIS. SHE TURNED TO DUSTER TO FILL THE VOID IN HER LIFE.

SHE HAD TWO SISTERS THAT LOVED HER DEARLY AND WOULD COME CHECK ON HER EVERYDAY TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.

SEEING HER SISTER TAKING HER FOOD, TRYING TO MAKE HER EAT AND BEGGING HER TO STOP DOING THIS WAS SO HEARTBREAKING.

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY SISTERS AND HOW AMAZINGLY BLESSED WE ARE TO HAVE NEVER HAD TO EXPERIENCE ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS SITUATION.

THIS STORY JUST BROKE MY HEART AND MAKES ME REALLY THINK ABOUT THE REAL WORLD OUT THERE AND HOW SHELTERED I AM.

PEOPLE REALLY DO THIS STUFF. ITS NOT JUST ON TV.

AS I WAS WATCHING THIS, I WAS IMAGINING BEING THE MOTHER AND FEELING SO HELPLESS, WATCHING YOUR DAUGHTER SLOWLY DYING. ALL BECAUSE SHE WAS HURTING SO BAD INSIDE FROM HER CHILDHOOD.

IT TURNED OUT GOOD IN THE END. SHE ACCEPTED THEIR HELP AND WENT FOR TREATMENT. SHE HAS BEEN CLEAN SINCE MAY 08.


I AM SOO GUILTY FOR LIVING IN SUCH A "BUBBLE. I KNOW, STUFF LIKE THIS REALLY HAPPENS AND I HAVE HAD TIMES THAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY BUT I HAVE LET IT GO AND NOT SAID ANYTHING. partly because i just didnt want to get involved, and fearing the more i knew the more i would be accountable for.

I HAVE HAD FRIENDS AND A GOOD FRACTION OF MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS THAT WAS ADDICTED TO DRUGS. I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING TO THEM BUT DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I DID PRAY FOR THEM. ALOT!
TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY ALL ARE DRUG FREE AND EVEN A COUPLE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO PREACH. WOW!!! EVEN WHEN WE DONT HAVE THE WORDS TO SAY WE CAN ALWAYS PRAY BECAUSE GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY AND DO.

I JUST WANT TO SAY, TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE, IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO IS HURTING SO DEEP INSIDE AND YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING. DO IT. WE ARE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A KIND WORD OR ACTION WILL DO FOR THAT PERSON HURTING.
