2011 epi. The hydrocodone girl. Gross.


Her hair was so greasy and she looks so unhealthy. Almost made me ill.

That's pretty much every female on this show. And male, for that matter.

That always makes me wonder what do they do for a living because it's hard for me to believe they could keep a job when they are doing drugs, etc. Some of the women, regardless of their age, might be prostitutes, but I'm sure the men aren't. It is my guess that a lot of them are receiving SSI, or disability benefits, due to their mental issues after using for that long.

I wonder about that all the time, too. When people are really deep into their addictions, they do pretty much whatever they have to do to keep using. I'm sure government assistance often plays a role, especially with young mothers. And there are all kinds of ways to scam social services. Then there's drug dealing, prostitution, & other shady stuff that lands them on the show. Also, I think a lot of people are enabled by family or spouses who probably have good intentions. The whole thing is sad because it perpetuates generation after generation.

Are you talking about the young girl who was jaywalking and wanted to get into the Coast Guard? Me I personally felt sorry for her because she had to get arrested while having a toothache and she was also serious about joining the Coast Guard.
