I used to get black out drunk and watch this and wish I was more like the people on the show. Or wonder how some of them ended up on the show when I was drinking way more than they were.
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore...
Didn't I make a thread like this a bit ago, lol? Threads like this come about from time to time with the all-around-conclusion that heck yes; heck yes, we do. It happens. It is awful to admit, but I always have. I'll be like, "wow, I am so glad I can handle my business. I'm not bad like this person." *takes another shot*
But wait, I do not wish I could be like the people on the show. No. Noo to that. LoL. Like I said, I basically reward myself by not battling like these folks. And by comparson, being drunk, et cetera while watching adds to the entertainment of the show.
I need to officially add this to my "shame confessional" list on my notepad.
I'm lowkey ashamed but me and my friends have a drinking game just for this show. By the end of one episode I'm usually half-drunk and an emotional mess. 2? Wasted. I think I can only name 2 times where I've ever watched this show sober haha.
I watch it because I used to be an active meth and marijuana addict, and am now a substance abuse counselor. To be honest, back in the day when I used, watching this show would have been a total buzz-kill for me.
I used to watch both Hoarders and Intervention after smoking a bowl. I used to be a drug addict and can relate a lot to the stories in Intervention, although I strongly disagree that addiction is a "disease". That's simply Bulls..t. These stories are tragedies and we are entertained by them. Just like cannot resisting looking at a car accident with dead people. We don't want to look but do anyway. Such is the lure here.
