Intervention/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: More than a few, particularly when an addict decides to get clean and succeeds at it.
• Memetic Mutation: The Best Cry Ever
• Narm: Admit it, you've laughed as people huff inhaler, make up their own math while on meth, or try to convince us that flowers are emitting harmful electrical energy.
  • This troper found the girl fighting with her sister, while she was naked, drunk and on meth, to be funny. Same with the girl whose friend's letter talked about her getting drunk and having sex by the entrance at her grad party.
• Tear Jerker: Particularly when the addicts either refuse treatment or are unsuccessful.
  • Can even occur when successful. One episode featured a severe alcoholic who eventually went to treatment and got sober. However, the years of drinking had already destroyed his liver and he died three months after treatment. The episode ends with his teenage son praising his father for not dying as an alcoholic, but as a dad.
