Interventions

Ok I am sure I will step on some toes with this post but hey it been bugging me for some time and I feel like I need to talk about it. I have been watching this A & E show "Intervention" From the shows web site:
Intervention™ is a powerful and gripping television series in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. The Intervention Television series profiles people whose dependencies on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones.


Most people know that I have a long standing hatred of anything to do with therapist, Physiology, or anything where you pay some pinhead that sits behind a desk to listen to you and then to tell you what is wrong with you and how to fix it.

But with all that said for some reason I have gotten hooked on this show I watch it every week with out fail. But you know what I am watching for? I am watching because at the end of each show they tell a little bit about how the person is doing after there 90 day treatment program or what ever the case maybe. AND GUESS WHAT!!!! I have not seen one person yet that has not had a relapse or gotten a divorce. It is insane! if a regular doctor had that kind of failure rate they would not be able to practice anymore!!! My therapy is being able to vent on this blog sometimes and hey guess what its FREE!

Anyway can you tell I just watched the show tonight? I guess if it works for you great..... But I would love to hear a happy ending to one of these stupid shows just once! And no a happy ending does not include a relapse or getting a divorce or not speaking to the rest of your family!

Danny, I realize you don't believe in therapists but as a therapist myself and having had therapy in the past I can assure you that it is not a bunch of crap. And yes on Intervention there is a lot of relapse but that goes with addiction and it sometimes takes several tries to finally get it.
