Intervention: Greg’s Painkiller Addiction and Gambling Obsession Lead to Massive Debt | A&E

He looked so much better 3 months later

The scammers should be ashamed of themselves.stealing from someone whose not all mentally there. 😮😢

Addicted to E-mail scams? 😮

This guy sooo stupid this guy called and said he was George washington.

Just hearing that voice on the Phone..You immediately know they are scammers

Praying for him

I'll have 2 years clean from fentanyl next month in April ❤

He looks great off the drugs!

That interventionist needs a new line, that "love you like crazy" opener is just plain tired...

I'm so happy to see him ride above his demons.

You can tell who is truly in pain when they say yes to any help they are offered.
Great story and good for him.

wow he got a phone call from George Washington!!

60 days clean

Wow, what a good-looking man when he got the help he needed.

OMG. HOW STUPID is this entire family????

I was sure about the bipolar disorder. A lot of people with gambling have bipolar.

Anytime you receive a call from an Indian with a heavy accent and they give you American names as their own, don’t fall for it…

Six days sober from alcohol, one day at a time ❤

George Washington???
George MFing Washington???
C'mon bruh.

how is he even getting that much morphine? As a chronic pain patient for 10 years, you’d NEVER see me looking like this. Not only because I don’t want to, I couldn’t even if I did. I’d use a month script in days and then be in misery from pain and withdrawal side effects

Is this the one where he was sexually abused by his uncle? I think they cut that part out.

Gambling is an interesting one, because it started happening before his injury and might be as difficult to manage as his other addictions. What's weird is how related to brain chemistry it can be. For example some Parkinson's medication can turn people into gamblers, the family are usually warned of this!

I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!
He’s a warrior! 🙌🏼

He's on the nod at the intervention. But I have to admit he looks like a different person after treatment. Hope he stays sober.

Please God help these family's

Currently battling opioid addiction. Do not know if I’m ever going to be able to get off.

1Y 3M Sober!!
It is possible once you’ve set your mind to it and decide that you’re worth trying for but ONLY then!

aww ok.. it’s the meff and cocaine that was making him act so weird.. nice vidya at demonizing opioid medications tho. did andrew kolodny pay you for this hacked up misdirection of a video?
why not say in the beginning of this video that he also uses meff and cocaine..? 🥴

i know folks who’ve taken prescribed opioids for decades and are nothing remotely close to this guy . they have normal lives , the
problem with videos like this is people in the medical profession will see this and assume every person who takes opioids will turn out like this .. millions of people take these medications and live perfectly normal lives

The mainstream has been to demonize opioids. What are people going to do with real pain!?

Everytime an episode drops 95% of the comments is everyone commenting on their addiction…..it’s annoying

What a beautiful loving family ❤

This guy is absoltely nailing it with George W!

Their is nothing wrong with him ?? just a typical american ???

So awesome....I love a happy ending on this show! 😊 I hope him and Sheree are living happy and healthy today!

I thought this was gary busey lol

Classic case of opiates working better for emotional pain than psyical . His backs been healed for years, the pain is manifesting there from his inner pains.

When someone says "Do you know the government upgraded the prize for you" in an Indian accent....and you don't understand you're being scammed you are really out of it.

He seems like an amazing guy, God bless him.

He needs to watch a couple episodes of scamfish social catfish I guarantee they will get to the bottom of the scammers d prove to him that those online scammers are taking his money.

WOW...This is sad...He is completely out of touch with reality.

One of the all time great episodes. I watched this in 2010 and haven’t stopped telling people about the insane and I’m a Psych Nurse!

Dude literally was hooked on scammers and opioids . His ability to live in denial is impressive

I completely understand where Greg's wife is coming from. My husband was on pain meds due to a back injury and also was depressed bc he couldn't work. He started on meth. Two months ago I found him facedown on the floor. And he wasn't breathing. He had accidentally taken meth that had fentanyl in it and died. I'm glad Greg is doing better.

He really believed he talked to Mr George Washington.

How does the older son have such a hot wife

As someone with severe chronic pain, I understand his pain. Being in severe pain will change you into a person you no longer recognise.

Also, our chronic pain is so connected to our emotional pain. I’m glad he chose to heal.

What a great guy, and what a wonderful family! I couldn’t be more proud if he were my own brother! Hope they are all well. Love that North Carolina accent!
