Though he grew up in a close-knit family, Joe has felt lonely and isolated all his life. As a child, he was tormented by neighborhood boys, and his father viewed him as a failure. At age 8, Joe learned “the choking game,” in which a person uses his hands to cut off the oxygen supply to his brain to get high. Joe loved the sensation, and choked himself daily throughout childhood. In high school, Joe discovered drugs, and now he’s a heroin addict. Joe is killing himself, and his family is desperate to intervene in Season 1, Episode 5, “Joe”. #Intervention

Nerd herd ..
Joe, you are beautiful inside and out! ðŸ˜Â🥰
4 minutes in.. this dude woulda been better off starting with heroin. His brain is CLEARLY fuckd..look at his eyes n he cant put a sentence together smh
"I don't understand Joe's addiction"
Really buddy? I hadn't noticed.
Except for the Mom, this entire family is so freaking toxic.
May he rest in peace he passed 09/01/2018 .
His dad is just awful.
When I was an opoid addict I was spending 300+ a day. If I saved all that money I'd probably would be able to retire before im 40. But now I'll be working till I die.
instead of choking my neck I choke my chicken. always works
I’m glad he doing better but that family was the problem
So happy to see your well joe
That father def contributed to Joe’s issues . Very disappointing.
I swear that the therapist "they love you like crazy" statement is his go to line. 😂. He says the statement in every episode.
Not one of these people understand addiction. So annoying.
And the sister that was hooked on cocaine for years has the nerve to talk and say literally he’s never getting out and that she lost hope instead of being more supportive of her brother what a hypocrite sister if you ask me.
This interventionist has a great with this family.
He was beautiful. Those eyes were so pretty but filled with so much pain. RIP Joe🖤
His mother is genuinely the only person I like.
I can't pay attention from he's sisters wig
He’s a beast on piano
How sad..eight years old……smh. Poor guy
Hold up?! Is this in Waukegan IL?!
200 a day? Yeah that's why I drink. 10 dollars a day is manageable.
In the last year i have spent $30 grand on perc 30s. Not proud and hope i can quit soon. Im so stupid but im really not and i have a lot of potential. I just tried em at a party one day and boom a year later and im still thinkin bout how to get them everyday. Plz just smoke weed, do shrooms if u want and maybe some acid if ur up for it. Dont be stupid tho. Please dont be stupid
There's a shot which cures people of heroin addiction. It's $1,500 per shot, and they need 2 of them.
How could you not love Joe? He is so special. I hope he continues to be well and is able to live a happy life.
This guy was straight up suffering. It made me so sad.
Wow this family. Saying this as someone who's never been an addict: but his whole family, maybe except the mother, think they understand addiction and know better. Their judgement and expectations of Joe, on top of Joe's father's unacceptance are pushing him towards heroin.
U HV traits of dad
Although don't have to be exactly.
Okay but can we agree that this gentleman is a MONSTER ON THE KEYS 🎹!!!! Wow he played with such lively and vigorous emotion!
“ everyday I woke up I felt immediately alone “ 😢 same
Oh it's make me very immotional Joe you are a very handsome boy be a good boy you are not alone
I am glad I am not the only one that thought the family was terrible the mom was sweet though RIP Joe
Awww. I'll be your friend
I'm in so much pain and I can't even take ibuprofen because I have heart disease. I think I could use the micro dose of heroin
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Joe wanted love and acceptance from his father over everything and never received it.
He needs just one positive support person for him to help him
Most addicted people do have amazing gifts
I’m so grateful for the people that do the intervention and I ran a half way house and this is not about the family it’s about the addiction and if the family doesn’t get help they can not help the addict
