Hi Everyone,
I did not have a formal Intervention but was confronted by my husband two times 10 years apart. I had been to tx once & stayed sober a year here & there until 1984.
I had divorced my second husband & moved back to where my first husband & son lived. I started drinking every day after work & all day on weekends. My youngest daughter was dx with Juvenile Diabetes/Insulin Dependent at 11 years old. I quit drinking for three months - slipped around for three months & was hospitalized for a medical detox July 9th & my Sobriety Date is 7/10/1988.
This time I sobered up for me, myself & I !!!!!!! I asked for help and boy did I get a lot of good help. I also got help for my depression at the same time. I attended AA every day for one year & also went to Alcohol Tx. again.
My husband & I watch Intervention together every Monday night here. He does not drink anymore but takes Oxycontin for Chronic Pain....as a result
of the TV Show, two of his doctors & his frequent falls (he is an amputee on crutches) he has changed to Generic Oxy & is taking less & just told me how much better he feels since he cut back. He just turned 73 this week so I am so proud of him. I surely think watching Intervention has helped him think more about his quality of life.
