Saw him last night. IIRC, he is a recovering addict who relapsed.

I watch it because my dad works with addicts. I think it’s funny because each addict acts the same according to the drug they use. If they clean up then cool but otherwise I don’t have much respect for those peeps. I hate how they always say “I have a disease” STFU!

I rarely tell people this...but I started doing heroin back in college just to see if I could stop- it only took me 3 years

That guy is a bad ass. Main reason why Intervention is a top five show on television.

Oh my gosh! That sucks. He was the best interventionist by far. :(

if A&E had their shit together they would have an Intervention for the guy giving interventions- it would be like the nexus of the universe

Hopefully he gets his life back together.

Yeah and I think they other ones also were once drug/alcohol addicts. They need to do a show on him now. That would be interesting.

That's what he gets for exploiting peoples' misery on national TV.

Addiction is a disease, but recovery is a choice.

Addiction is a disease, but recovery is a choice.

Oh I agree totally. And I don't think anybody respects addicts, especially those who choose to stay addicts, but it is a vicious disease and recovery from it is pretty commendable IMO. (no matter how much you disrespect the initial choice of going down the path to addiction).

I like the show, but there are a whole slew of scenes in every episode that are more scripted than The Hills.

Good show.

Hopefully Mr. Vonderen will have a succesful recovery.

actually the correct phrase is:

"You know what (insert name), I spent some time talking to these people here and you know what I found was a bunch of people that really love you like crazy" - Jeff Van Vonderen in every single episode

I've asked sunshine if i'm ever in need of an intervention to please not have them use that line. She's agreed.

yeah they did because she was addicted to her daughter....hell I would be too, the chick is smoking hot. I mean you have yourself a keeper when you have to walk out and blow in the breathalyzer so she can drive to work. The girl knows how to party

I was in rehab with a lady who's son was going to be on Intervention until he stole his chart from his doctor and read a note on there that mentioned it. He disappeared right after that and refused to allow any of the footage to be shown. She said it was a terrible experience because she had to pretty much allow him to shoot up in her house, where it was never allowed before, and it was hard because she was a recovering addict as well. The pressure and stress from the show caused her to relapse and she checked into the facilities I was at. It was sad to see how messed up her son was. I know the show helps a lot of people out and I wish this dude the best.

We should start one of those weight loss challenges on here but with heroin. Let's all start doing it for a couple weeks and see who can kick the habit the fastest

I think my A.A. sponsor might frown on such activities. lol

But fuck it, let's give it a shot.
