I don’t understand why her dad would abandon her if they were so close. That’s the part that really got me.

[heatherfahrenkopf]

I creeped her fb profile and it looks like she is doing so good and so healthy!! More kids and looks to be happy!! So happy for her ❤❤

[jennymeyers]

She felt so comfortable & appreciated the advice of the police officers … shows how badly her father leaving hurt her. She craves that male guidance.

[Speedyskull]

I love how she wasn’t afraid to call the police and give them a hug. As a criminal myself, I’ve experienced a handful of really caring cops when I didn’t deserve it.

I like that this program allows her to take her son with her. Too many times on this show the bond between parents and children seem to sever after the parent goes to treatment without them. Not that they don’t need it, but it’s great to see they can bring their children with them at this program.

“Sarah and her friend met a group of guys in the forest.” lol what a wild sentence

[pattil]

We don’t change, until it becomes too painful not too… praying you stay clean & thrive in your life with your precious son, Sarah. 🙏

It's sad how the mom plays the victim...but it's awesome to see Grandma still working her recovery 💪💪 I'm right there with tgem 2 years clean from IV drug use

[robinharris]

wow mom cheated she told her dad she thought it was the right thing to do then he abandoned her and her mother blamed her for him leaving as well. Way to mess up a kid for your own actions.

[AndiDoodie]

I’m so happy to see her doing well. This story was one I remembered. This is sad to see but hopefully she draws strength from her cool grandma and finds the peace she deserves.

[ashleygray]

This is first time I’ve actually cried watching this show. Yes they are all sad, but letting the world see she is a mama that loves her son & not just an addict is something that needs to be done a lot more.

[cassierichardson]

Insane how this was shot in Fortuna, Ca where I was born and live and how I’ve walked in that exact park and forest hundreds of times. My old Starbucks manager is in this episode as well wow what a small world. I hope Sarah is doing better now.❤️

[richperkins]

Might now work for everyone but I am coming up on 6 years sober from alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines. I still use cannabis but my life is really good. A good diet, exercise, yoga and mindfulness practice works amazingly

[bigb]

This one made me cry- I understand why she is doing what she is doing. I hope she is healthy and thriving. 💖💖

[MDillonL]

How did she not know this was an intervention after her grandma just went through this?

[JL-znme]

I would never want to look at my cheating mother, my grandmother who sent me out for drugs or my father for punishing me by leaving!!! Sarah has the right to be extremely angry. I hope she gets the treatment she truly still needs for the pain she carries inside! Her and her baby boy deserve a clean, healthy, happy life!

[jim]

Oh man the beginning of the 4loko era crazy times…🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🙃🙃🙃😭

[morganwhite]

You can see her pain and where it all comes from. Addiction is from trauma and I wish her all the healing in the world ❤. It says Sarah stopped using meth and just marijuana so its progress at least.

[kendra]

I knew I was an addict from the moment I realized I felt better when I drank. I knew I was an addict because I preferred to be intoxicated rather than sober.

I will never understand why people say they aren't addicts when they very clearly are. I mean I do understand that it's a way they convince themselves so they can continue to use. But what justification can you come up with to say you're not an addict and then turn right around and be like "Give me a line I'd take it!!" Just pure arrogance.

[jadepeyton]

Hopefully they stay healthy❤ addiction is no joke. Recovering from M and H for 2 years now
