There are several reality shows out there but the truth is that some of them are manipulated for dramatic effect. A show that deals with addiction, however, does not need that because everyone who has been controlled by an addiction or had a loved one on drugs knows that Drama is Addiction’s middle name. Just as a person can go online and see stories shared by those who have experienced what they themselves are going through, people are going to be able to identify with the new TLC show Addiction, which premieres March 17.

Maybe you will watch it with friends and laugh along with them as they make fun of yet another round of reality stars. Maybe you will watch it alone. Either way, maybe inside you will be realizing that yes, that does seem familiar because it happened to you or your best friend or your brother or your niece or you strongly suspect that your spouse or teenager is doing drugs because the person on Addicted is acting just like your loved one is.

Television shows yearn for ratings and they admit that. However, there are those that seek to help the public at the same time. Shows like Addicted fall into this arena. The truth is, drugs are out there as you know or you would not be on this site. The truth is, there is help out there, too. So if you watch the show and you need help for yourself or a loved one, come to this site or even any other site, because those who help addicts get clean want one thing: success for those who are addicted.

Addicted promises to be a show along the lines of Intervention. Any show that can educate teenagers and young people, any show that can say “yes, drugs are real and they are not sexy”, any show that lets you know that you are not alone, these shows are worth watching to this writer.

Addicted premieres Wednesday evening, March 17 at 10 eastern, 9 central time. Did you notice the date? March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, the luck of the Irish. Perhaps Addicted will be lucky for some viewer, maybe even you. If you stumbled upon this site because you it is now late Wednesday night and the premiere hit you where you live, then know it was meant to be. Help is out there. Help is available. Help is HERE. You are not here by chance, you are here because you deserve to be helped.

Some reality shows are not as real as they appear. Addiction is real and if watching Addicted helped you to get help, then isn’t that as real as life gets? You deserve help. For real. Thanks to treatment programs around the world, thanks to websites such as this one and thanks to shows that deal with the reality of addiction, you can get that help today.
