Sarah 107,  Monday, Jan 4 9/8c, is the story of a mother addicted to Oxy Contin.  Will her family be able to stage an Intervention to save her life?  

My little sister, Sarah… her smile could light up a room.  Always telling stories and making everybody laugh. - We were so close and now I don't even know her anymore.

   
There's no way my child shoots up; not my daughter. Shooting up one time could kill you. Do you think about that when you put a needle in your arm. You don't think about it at all?

She went from working in a strip club stripping, to working in a massage parlor with "happy endings." It kills me inside thinking about it. I absolutely believe she's sold her body for drugs.

I need to do what I need to do to live right now. Nobody understands that. We're trying to see where you're at. Everybody knows where I'm at. I don't know what to f###ing do about it!  

You no longer enjoy life and what it has to offer you, or you to offer it. You are a drug addict who needs help. -Intervention 107 Sarah episode quotes.  All images and text copyright A&E Television Intevention. - (Millions of American's suffer with addictions. Most need help to stop. This is Sarah's story.) Watch a preview of Intervention 107: Sarah at A&E.

Official A&E Intervention Episode Description:

Raped when she was 14 and feeling abandoned by her family, Sarah turned to drugs, even becoming a stripper to support her drug habit. She's prohibited by the courts from seeing her three-year-old son, and now lives with a man who is more than twice her age and manages a massage parlor. Can an intervention save her from her self-destructive lifestyle?

Comment:  Dev Meyers National Cannabis Revolution Examiner says: Why in the world does the FDA consider Oxycontin safer than Marijuana? Marijuana is not addictive and has never killed anyone. It is not a gateway drug. Legalize medical marijuana. Read my column. January 2, 11:39 AM

    Who cares if she knew what she was doing if she used Freddy or anyone else... That is part of the disease using people, lying all those things come natural to addicts. However painful that is for family & friends to come to terms with. It is the cold hard truth addicts will manipulate, cajole, steal & sell their souls. I don't know her personally but, most people are decent & start using drugs & alcohol to deal with some traumatic event in their lives. All people are NOT bad & set out to maliciously hurt & use someone. Freddy is a grown man 34 years older than Sarah it is obvious that she had father issues & that she still has the maturity level as a teenager would not a grown woman. He was a grown man that has fought his own addictions & demons.. at his age he knew better then to get involved with a addict.
