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

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!

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.

How does the older son have such a hot wife

He really believed he talked to Mr George Washington.

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.

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

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

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.

He seems like an amazing guy, God bless him.

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.

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.

I thought this was gary busey lol

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

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

This guy is absoltely nailing it with George W!

What a beautiful loving family ❤

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

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

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

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..? 🥴

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!

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

Please God help these family's

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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…

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

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

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

60 days clean

wow he got a phone call from George Washington!!

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

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

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

He looks great off the drugs!

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

Praying for him

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

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

Addicted to E-mail scams? 😮

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

He looked so much better 3 months later
