It really was sad to watch.
I agree with addicts having to want to get well for anything to happen. Its just that if you give an ultimatum, they have to know you mean it, and clearly this kid had a mom who wasn't the type to give ultimatums. Its gonna be awfully tough for an enabled addict to want help.
The worst part is, this lady also had a daughter in the house. She is doing a HORRIBLE job as a mom by having the son in the house at all- her daughter still has a chance at normalcy if she'd kick out the drug addict son (and alcoholic step-dad).
Alcoholics disgust me the same as any other addict, for the record. My family (like most) has its share of alcoholics, and I hate them for it.
You should have heard the alcoholic dad last night when the intervention guy asked if he would stop drinking now that he saw how it was destroying his daughter and the dirtbag answers "That's a good question". Alcoholism is something I have been exposed to, and thats exactly the kind of a$$hat answer that an alcoholic gives. I mean, seriously- your daughter or beer? You have to think about that?!?!?!
Addiction sucks balls. People around addicts need to kick them to the curb, for the sake of those who they might drag down with them.
I was really surprised by how angry that show made me- it just showed how selfish people are when they get addicted to things.
