Intervention 108 Jackie - Alcoholic (wine). Credit: A&E.
Jackie's second pregnancy ended in miscarriage and she turned to alcohol to ease her pain. She drinks two bottles of wine a day now and hurts herself by running into the furniture in her home. Her daughter no longer lives with her, and doesn't like to be around her mother when she is drunk.
At one time, Jackie was funny, smart, and beautiful--the total package; but now her life has become a daze of wine-fueled memories. She says she "likes the taste of wine," but her loved ones emphasize that Jackie can't keep drinking to the extent that she does and live.

NEW EPISODE: Jackie - Monday, January 11, 9/8 C - Jackie - Monday, January 11th 09:00 pm ET Tuesday, January 12th 01:00 am ET:
Once known as the "the prettiest girl in town," Jackie had a promising career as a radiation therapist. She became a wealthy doctor's wife, a country club member, and a proud mother. But Jackie was haunted by childhood traumas. She was devastated when her father died when she was 13. And as an overweight adolescent, she was teased with the nickname "Fat Jack" and felt she was never as good as her pretty sister. After Jackie's second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, she turned to alcohol. She's had three failed stints in rehab and an ugly divorce. Today, Jackie drinks two bottles of wine a day and regularly suffers broken bones and bruises in her drunken state.
