Tales Of Addiction: 15 People Get Real About Staging An Intervention
The content below was sourced from real posts on the Whisper app, the largest online community where people anonymously share real thoughts and feelings. Join the community to continue the conversation today. One of the the most difficult things you can face is seeing a family member or friend ruin their life in front of you, as they spiral out of control. For those with loved ones battling drug addiction, they know this feeling all too well. These people decided to take matters into their own hands and stage an intervention. Interventions with drug addicts usually involve a group of loved ones encouraging the drug user to seek treatment. This method doesn't always work, but it's always worth a try. These confessions are from the concerned people that attempted an intervention.

Best of luck.

My partner is stealing my prescription pain medication. He doesnt know I've called addiction services to help with an intervention. He needs help

Hamilton, Waikato, NZ

Heavy hearts.

Somehow, I feel like our planned intervention made matters worse. He got really angry and then ran off into the night. He has been missing 4 days now. I can't stop thinking about my brother.

My mom and I just had an intervention with my bf regarding his drinking problem. I think we finally got through to him.

Better a mad friend than a dead friend.

I'm setting up an intervention for my best friend. He said nothing I ever did would ruin our friendship, but I think me telling his "secrets" to his parents just might. He needs help though.

Straight into it.

Only 6 weeks into studying to become an alcohol drug counselor and already planning an intervention. For my sister who's getting married in 2 months. I hope it's not too  late.

It's no easy task.

I'm planning an intervention for my alcoholic father.  I'm terrified because he's mentally unstable and gets really mean when he is like this. I don't want him to die though.
