My wife's neice has a drug addiction and has caused alot of problems for the family by stealing money and meds. She has spent some time in jail for it but it hasn't stopped her from using.
Her mom was at the end of her rope and wrote to the tv show Intervention online and spoke about her daughter's chronic addiction. She is on probation and did not pass a court ordered drug test and will end up back in jail. The show's producers called her mom and told her to bring her daughter to the Portland jetport early this morning for an all expense paid trip to a treatment facility in Florida!
Although she flunked the drug test and is not allowed out of state, the show's producers intervened on her behalf. So she is on her way there now. I am including the link here for anyone who wants to try to get some help for their loved one.

This is a very socially proactive show and has won numerous emmy awards as a result! I haven't watched it in awhile but it usually comes on monday nights at 9 pm.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Laura, that's what we are all hoping for. Those drug counselors can throw everything at her but the kitchen sink and the rest is up to her!

That is fantastic that the show is helping her. I hope she realizes what a wonderful opportunity she has been given.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
