Some shows should not have Memorial Day marathons

This weekend A & E was gearing up for a new season of their show "Intervention", as well as the premier of a new show called "Obsessed" which is about people suffering with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). For two days, they ran an "Intervention" marathon. One, after another, after another, etc. I was riveted. Then I was bummed. I mean, really bummed. Now it's Tuesday morning and I can't get one of the stories out of my head. It's a story about a woman named Leslie, a suburban PTA mom-type. Boy-oh-boy can that lady drink, and drink, and drink. The sad part is, when she can't get her hands on vodka, she drinks mouthwash. MOUTHWASH. She drinks enormous bottles of it. Here's the kicker - she does it in front of her three kids. I really can't stop thinking about this family. Anyway....if you want to check out her story and see the madness for yourself, here you go.

I'm gonna pass on watching it again. I find it seriously disturbing.
