Meth Intervention: Cristy
The show Intervention on A&E is sometimes too painful for me to even watch - Cristy’s story most of all.
I saw the story of Cristy (or Christy) on Intervention quite a while back and of all the episodes, this one really affected me the most, truthfully it was her story along with those of so many close to me that made me want to do something about meth; her story is what prompted me to finally start this blog that I had been thinking about for quite some time.
Cristy is a hard-core meth addict, with a 10+ year addiction. She strips for money and amongst her dangerous exploits, she stands in front of liquor stores asking men to buy her alcohol. She has a pretty bad case of meth / alcohol induced psychosis which is apparent as she tries to explain her “deep” theories to the camera man and at one point, she is seen walking around outside of her house completely naked.
Her story is so heart-breaking, because she is just so lost in her addiction. Watching this episode, you can see that Cristy’s family really, truly loves her; her father so much so that he has enabled her for many years out of guilt - it’s hard to watch as he suffers with her. Cristy’s story is really a must-see if you want a real-life glimpse into meth addiction, meth psychosis and the shattered life of a once beautiful girl.
