i, too, LOVE the program and am always fascinated by all the stories, no matter if the addiction deals with alcoholism, cocaine, heroin, or Rx drugs.....it's always emotional for me, too, no matter what....i have so much empathy for everyone, for both the addict AND the families involved....it really hits home, doesn't it? i think it's a GREAT show and i, for one, hope it stays on for a long time....
