I'm Not an Addict. Really!
Intervention. A new reality series on A&E (Sundays 9pm, I think). This is def. making it on to my Tivo recorder.
The first episode was about a 38-year-old former stockbroker, addicted to cocaine and a three-time White House intern/award-winning student, who met a boy in college who initiated her into drugs and is now addicted to morphine and crack. Nice.
I saw the second episode. A prodigy child, Gabe, who at the age of 10 had an IQ of like 150 and was one of the youngest to graduate college. He ended up teaching classes at some college until he discovered the marvels of gambling. His mom & dad sold their house to pay some off his debt in addition to lumps of cash they have given him over the years ENABLING him to continue gambling. Their prodigy child has now turned himself into a degenerate gambler (he's only like 24 now). My favorite line was when Gabe demanded his family give him more $ and they refused. He yells "When you decided to have children you made a commitment to take responsibility (i.e. pay) for that child for his whole life." This guy is a jackass.
The other person on the show was an actress. A lady who had a role on ER for the first 3 seasons then quit, yes quit, b/c of "personal issues". I think she just got fired b/c she's, plain & simple, an idiot. She claims that her "personal issues" are that she's manic depressive, obsessive complusive, bi-polar & some other shit that you know she just she read about to mask her stupidity. Her REAL addiction, shopping. She lives in a studio apt. and pisses in your ear about how she spent her down payment for a house on clothes, mainly b/c nobody loves her. At the end of the show a residual check comes in from ER for $75m. I guess things are looking up for her.
Next episode: a vicodin addict who fakes her own prescripts and a cutter.
The show makes you squirm but is worth a watch.
