hello -
I frequently watch it and have learned a lot from it. I have concerns that it makes it seem like "if we can just get them to agree to treatment then it will all be okay". I wish that they would do one on recovery. I guess that all they are trying to do is show the intervention. Recovery is definitely a tough road - as is seen in the follow up episodes and how few really remain sober.
On that note.....guess what? One of the people that was featured is in my women's group and she picked up a nine month chip this morning! I was really excited for her. I was really surprised when I saw the show - I remembered her first meeting when she got back from treatment. The show is never brought up but it'd be interesting to ask her about it sometime.
Take care! Donna (PS......since I didn't name names I'm assuming that I did not break her annonymity)
