Intervention,relapse, & granny panties

I love this show. Intervention is basically a show that documents the day in the life of an addicts. it takes you through when the addiction started, how they got hooked, and the intervention and the steps they take after the intervention. They have a new show called relapse. its basically coaches the addict back to recovery after they relapse. its really good. I loveeeee documentaries. There are two things that I really love gerontology and substance abuse...I have always been fascinated with those two. Mainly because I love old people. I actually love elderly more than children. Even as a child I wanted to be "big". I believe that the elderly are full of knowledge and is a population that is oftentimes forgotten. Many have children, sometimes their children for whatever reason don't want anything to do with them. I like to sit with them and assist them when I can. Plus one day we are gonna get old, and I want someone to treat me well, and generally care about my well being.
Substance abuse...I like learning about all things related to it. that would be addiction, relapsed, and how the brain functions during that time and so much other things...my main thing is the discovery. The reason why I would like to work with someone who has substance abuse issues is because its not the drug itself. But I enjoy cracking the code. There's always a reason why they are doing this drug to suppress their emotions and feelings. Once I figure out what is their trigger and why they use drug, then I can walk them through the steps of healing, and then recovery comes...now I know its not that simple but that's kind of it in a nutshell as to why I enjoy learning and working with both!!! Some may say or think I'm weird. But hey that's me...someone has to do the job...why not have someone that ultimately enjoys helping and assisting those two population. Thanks for reading guys!!! Have a happy Tuesday!
