    the lack of understanding and experience in dealing with addiction is apparent in this thread.

    utterly amazing that you'd attempt this at a webmaster event.

    so retarded i can't even begin to understand it.

        This is a great idea Sleazy... I know who it is and I think helping will show what a true friend you are.

                I just got off the phone with Scott. He asked me if I'd like to participate in the intervention, now knowing who this person is, I have to agree that it needs to be done. Most of this persons closest friends, will be in Phoenix..and good and bad, this person needs to know that they are loved and surrounded by people that care. They need to stop with the drugs as its taken over their lives and is about to lose everything....almost has really.

                        I have a pretty good idea who you are talking about, and you could not honestly call yourself their friend if you did not go through with this.
                        Sometimes you just have to do things for others, even if you know it might not have a good outcome for yourself.

                            i just called the hotel to see why they would allow this to go on. i told them to have extra securities around and ask sleazy, (gave them his name), if he needs any help when he checks in. you can never be too safe. they said they were going to notify the sheriffs department and have some more undercovers in the hotel to make sure everything goes smoothly. i guess if you're gonna do this, do it right. i know this person needs help so why not, fuck it, you got my blessing now.

                            good luck.

                                    Great idea, Scott. This person definitely needs a wake-up call.

                                            Not sure if it's a troll thread or not... but I don't think it's a good idea to do it there. Might want to do it just before or after...

                                            Of course, if the dude ODs during the forum, then you would all say... damn why didn't I do something before...

                                            Anyways, best of luck.

                                            A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                            So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                                Thats IS a good point... i guess Sleazy has a lock on getting the important people in his life together... and im sure if and when done properly that it WILL be secluded ...

                                                Sleazy has never hit me as a morally stupid or uncaring person so if this is all going down, id think hed do it "right"...


                                                i wish you and your friend luck too...


                                                other than all that... i'll see you all (attending) soon...

                                                lets drink and point out idiots...

                                                    Knowing who this is it pains me to think about how far they have fallen from grace. Some of you may not agree with this, but this is probably the best chance this person has to be surrounded by so many people who care about them and that they respect enough to actually listen to.

                                                    It is a tough call and initially I thought this was a bad idea till I was able to reach Scott and find out who it was and how bad the problem has truely become.

                                                    When all is said and done I have a feeling that many of you who have disagreed will change your minds and understand a little better what we are trying to accomplish here.

However I'm afraid they might have already figured it out since I know for a fact that the person visits GFY on a regular basis. I hope he/she still shows up for the Phoenix Forum.

                                                                            Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Someone ask an interventionist at NA or other organization that has experience with this if a bunch of "bros" and business associates should be confronting the person in question at a porn convention. Close friends and family only need to do this only with the help of an experienced interventionist and also have a rehab to send him to immediately that day. Otherwise you people all have no business messing with this. It's just completely inappropriate and counter-productive.

                                                                                                    Posting here and announcing it seems a bit self serving, regardless of what your true intentions might be.

                                                                                                    Just because you've seen the Intervention show on A&E doesn't give you the right to stage an intervention.

                                                                                                    Spend you some brain.

But at a show people are there to have fun and having an intervention might not be well received. This should be done privately and without a fuss cause at the end of the day it is caring for a person and showing them that they are loved.

Someone ask an interventionist at NA or other organization that has experience with this if a bunch of "bros" and business associates should be confronting the person in question at a porn convention. Close friends and family only need to do this only with the help of an experienced interventionist and also have a rehab to send him to immediately that day. Otherwise you people all have no business messing with this. It's just completely inappropriate and counter-productive.

Let the few people are who actually blood related to them or who are very closely involved in their lives on a day to day basis handle this intervention with aid of a responsible interventionist at a private residence or other location away from a gathering of their peers.

                                                                                                                                                                    Not knowing who it is or what's up specifically, myself, I can only really offer that lots of people in the world have contributed significantly while being heavy drug users.

                                                                                                                                                                    I often wonder what would have come of Hunter S. Thompson had those around him forced an intervention on him; or on Edgar Allen Poe; or on Samuel Taylor Coleridge...

                                                                                                                                                                    I mean, this person's at least functional enough to maintain employmentand be able to make shows, right - and for some time now? That doesn't quite seem like rock-bottom.

                                                                                                                                                                    ...but it seems some people that I respect seem to know what's up and think it's a good idea, including yourself... so do what you feel is right, I guess.

With 9 years sober, I am one of the lucky ones that made it this far.

An intervention means that the friends and family are ready for the addict to quit; it does not mean the _addict_ is ready to quit. Interventions usually result in hard feelings HOWEVER it does get the addict to start thinking about it. The intervention probably won't work, but it might speed up his realization that he has hit bottom.

I think the best way to show an addict how much you care is to push them away from you. An intervention may not get the addict to agree to get into treatment but it gives the friends and family the opportunity to say "We love you but we just cannot be around you when you are using". That is what really needs to happen -- ALL means of support need to be removed so that the only choice left and that is to get clean and sober.

Someone ask an interventionist at NA or other organization that has experience with this if a bunch of "bros" and business associates should be confronting the person in question at a porn convention. Close friends and family only need to do this only with the help of an experienced interventionist and also have a rehab to send him to immediately that day. Otherwise you people all have no business messing with this. It's just completely inappropriate and counter-productive.

I only wish I could be there. Feel free to skype me when you guys do it so I can lend a hand.

This is called the "truth by numbers" troll. If enough people back up your story, then it just has to be real.
