Intervention (the show)
I'm sure this has come up here before, but does anyone watch it?
My usual ritual used to be to get pretty bombed on Sunday night, and watch it after my wife and kids went to bed - and consequently cry my eyes out in the dark by myself. I think I cried mostly because it was touching (yet painful) to see all of these people pull together for one person's needs - and wonder why no one in my family or circle of friends had ever cared enough about me to take it to that level. Anyways...
So I watched it sober last night. I still cried quite a bit, but it was because I couldn't imagine that I was that out of control & would do the things that the subject was doing...yet I saw so much of myself and my behavior in her (even though I'm a guy). It scares me to think that I am that much of an a**hole when I drink, though I don't doubt it.
This is going to be a long, hard road. Thanks for reading.
