Wow she comes from a really good family. The amount of love between them even with what she’s got going on. My family was NOT that caring towards me when I was actively using 😬 not that I blame them. But honestly if this girl gets herself clean she’s got ALL the support she needs & that’s half the battle in this road we walk as addicts . I wish her the best I really do ❤
Katherine, If you see this, I’m about 20 minutes from Syracuse and have been in recovery for 3.5 years. I’m here if you need support.
I felt so sorry for her father when he started shaking!! I pray for this family, especially Katherine to heal!!❤️😢
I was so looking forward to seeing Katy after 60 days sober, she is such a beauty. Very tragic.
One thing I noticed about watching this show. Addiction stem from crippling emotional pain.
I remember watching ‘Intervention’ when I was a teen. Never thought as an adult I’d be watching again but as a recovered addict. Addiction effects all walks of life. I pray she is still alive and doing well. I, like many here, thought my addiction was going to kill me before I could sober up like it did to my younger brother.
She doesn’t even realize how lucky she is to have such an amazing mother and father. I wish I had a mom and dad like that. Unconditional love is hard to come by.
Yeah there’s no way you could ever say no to her father.. that was heart wrenching.
My heart goes out to Katherine as well as her family. I hope that she can get better.
As someone who is both on the autism spectrum AND a recovering alcoholic/drug addict (well over a decade sober), this episode hit me harder than most.
I pray for us all..we re all going thru something deeply
@Bigfacts Amen!!❤️🙏🏼
I have a son who is Autistic and this man is a inspiration for me seeing, he amazes me and you should be proud of your father! He is a wonderful inspiration!
@Tonya Richards EXACTLY!
Her parents are so loving that it brings tears to my eyes. it’s easy to tell they love her so much. She is so lucky to have parents like hers.
@cherylb_88 100%
It really is so so hard to watch this girl go through this. She never asked to be raped, all she ever wanted was to be noticed and to be a normal teenager. She just wanted to be happy and be noticed. I know exactly how she felt back then. In one fell swoop her whole world changed and she has spent the rest of her life trying to mask that. Please accept everyone’s love Katherine. I have lost entirely too many friends and family members to this disease and I am pleading with someone I’ve never met to accept help. I am literally tearing up thinking about it. I sought help at one point in rehab and I almost lost my wife and kid because when the dog’s away, well you know the rest. I still deal with the reminders of those days all the time. I just pray that it’s not too late for you.
🔐 her up for possession 🚨
The toughest challenge of an addict, is to adapt to live in a sober state.
That is a much bigger challenge than quitting the drugs itself.
The hardest for me being a ex drug user is to see the pain it causes to the user and of course the family. It’s so awful 😢. The worst is when your deep into drug dependence you just don’t see any way out. Hope she’s ok. Just know if your in that type of problem there is a way out.
@Renee of course, every single person on this planet is the same. You’re late for your AA meeting.
I’ve watched this episode a few years ago, Katherine has always stuck out to me as a sweet woman who has so much potential. I wonder how she is doing today I hope she is okay
@MJA It was my dad, uncle and 3 other closely related ppl
It took my son, who is 24 now, and I am almost 2 years sober…to teach me one way to see it. As he says, you do not tend to see normal, mentally healthy, and happy people on drugs like I was on (heroin and crack mainly, with dabbling in others). It happens to broken people, because it’s the only way they can deal with the fact that they ARE broken.
I was raped as a teen. I never used heroin. I was homeless (with my broken family) at 16. I never started smoking crack. Some of us are just made of tougher stuff. If we stopped reviving them after ODs, then a lot of the problem would be solved.
@Kevin Adams lose the “holier than thou” attitude and maybe someone will give you that cookie you’re expecting
@MJA been thru this with couple of family members.
Alright.. I’m only 5 minutes in and I can already tell these parents were expecting WAY too much of her. Even if she was excelling at school, the way they emphasize on it, makes me think she really wasn’t, or she was struggling. Or they didn’t have a clue until the last minute. She did everything in her power to cover up her failures.
Idk…. I come from a family of abuse like this so… Idk
Not always
Trauma
@Amber L Without fentanyl in it? That’d be hard to find I would assume.
I was an addict for a very long time and I’m really proud of myself. I’ve been clean for about 5 years now. My son saved my life❤️Luckily I am strong enough to not be triggered But it’s not easy for most people. You know the saying “you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped”
FIND THIS WOMAN NOW!
Not true but ok
Congratulations man! ❤️❤️
Yes she is very beautiful
@Just Me Awh thank you 😊.. I really meant what I wrote yesterday. And when your ready to get help you go & get better. Even if Noone is supporting you when you get out. You prove them all wrong. And theirs plenty of other ppl that will be there for you. Like me, I might not be your family but I can still be there for you.
@Michelle Hitt
You’re a bright light in a dim world. I’m actually day 4 with absolutely nothing. I was brought to my knees outta pure desperation for peace & the tiniest little voice said, “It starts with you.” I flushed the rest of what I had. I’m suffering but I’m gonna keep on because I want this so bad and I’ll have it. Thank you sp much beautiful.
Hopefully she sees this and reaches out….I know she has it in her you can definitely see she wants it but it’s very hard for her to stop. I’m originally from Syracuse and grew up and went to school there and moved to Florida when I was 16 yrs old. It’s so unfortunate cause these drugs are everywhere and they are killing alot of people especially now with it all laced with fetanyl. We lost some very good people these last couple months that needed the help and tried but gave up. I pray she finds her way to sobriety…her parents love her sooo much!!! 💔🙏🙏🙏
as someone with a neurodivergent father, seeing katie’s father cry so openly and vulnerably hit me like a ton of bricks. so powerful.
@Skysthelimit212 Thank you kindly 🙂
@Bobby Boykin Thank you so much 🙂
@Ask MiName
YEAH, IMMEDIATELY!
(what woman? Are you giving them orders?! Koo koo)
@Mo Yo
That’s why I don’t have a middle name. I don’t think anyone would be able to remember it. Happy times! 🥴
@vinylsandkayaks
Duh… 🙄 Every addict is selfish in order to survive harsh reality.
GABOR MATT HAS AN AMAZING BOOK ON ADDICTION
Im 37 was iv herorin by 16 and didn’t get clean until 32 and now im going through some things and worry about relapse god help me i cant go down that path again i just cant.
@FryTheFly gotta go to meetings even if it’s online. I’m 7 years clean myself facing surgery scared of relapse too. My biggest help (next to God, I’m a spiritual person) is the meetings. You talk and people hear you. They don’t tell you you’re bad or wrong. They’ve been there. You hear stories and you think wow, I can’t go back to living like that. I promise you it’s super helpful. I’ve also found MAT medication has been a lifesaver to me personally. Suboxone kept me from being physically sick and the meetings keep my addiction in front of me. Can’t let it get behind you and sneak up on you. You can do this!! You’ve already done the hardest part. Now you just keep that train on the tracks and you’re sailing smooth.
Especially in religious households. Yikes.
Same here. Proud of you for sobriety! I have almost 4 years
Hi I just wanted to check in and see how things were going! I’m so proud of you for flushing what you had and wanting to get away from it!

Indoctrinated religion that way is traumatizing
@Toby’s Gaming World im back on suboxone and it truly is a life saver. I go to meetings sometimes and youre right they do help. I dont know you same as you dont me but i appreciate the kind words of encouragement and if you ever need to talk to someone you have a friend in me. Im praying for you brother you got this 👍🙏
Same
the fact that when her dad said he had issues of his own, she immediately told him he was perfect really shows her true character.
Your comment got to me. I hope Katherine sees it. Please stop running and accept help. A loved one of mine also exprienced trauma at work. After that this person went missing. Later we found out the possible trauma that trigged it all, the drugs and alcohol use, and I believe the person did prostitution. When I was talking to the police asking for any information. The officer told me they had the person in a cell. I screamed and cried uncontrolebly. A lot has happend since to this person. Their Recovery and mental health goes up and down. The person stays under a relatives care. But I worry for them every Day. I don’t want to lose them
@Tiffany Gamboa you habe no clue what you’re talking about but cool!
@tezy0193 loving by stealing from people
There’s just no way. What a precious sweet man.
@Dominick Justave you are very naive or ignorant if you still think that everybody who is addicted or dependent on drugs steals from people LOL. There are many addicts out there that support their self and their own habit and actually help their family members with money and have never stolen anything. Such a Negative stereotype and assumption. Definitely not true for everybody whatsoever.
@tezy0193 agreed. I’m an opiate addict myself but I love my family more than any drug. Wish I could stop for them
That’s exactly what I was just thinking. I used to watch their all the time, and I’m also a recovering drug addict. But this episode hit me hard. I felt so bad for her parents. She is really lucky to have them. I’m happy that you’re now recovering and I’m so sorry to hear about your brother.
@tezy0193 true words were never spoken, my dear💞😘🤗
That is exactly it in an addict myself and that’s one of the hardest parts
True. I’ve only had it from my children. I never knew it before them.
I was trying to see if anyone here in the comments had an update on her and her family. I too saw this episode a few years ago when I was heavily addicted. Looking forward to my 1yr 9/23
Yes definitely, and she was an only child so all the focus was on her. Plus the religion.
@D W addiction is for life, hence the term, in recovery. Otherwise we’d be able to use our DOC in moderation. My drugs of choice were always prescribed to me. I haven’t used in almost 4 years.
is there any updates on Her?? i agree she seems such a gen person Who is in the grips of addiction
@ashleyshea nope. Sure doesn’t… if u think that then chool also puts a lot of pressure on kids… and chores, rules, laws…. ur ridiculous to say that… Im not even religious and I know ur comment is absolutely INSANE.
As a Sped teacher I’m genuinely proud of him for not only living independently, but having a family and job like his peers.
@Smiggles69 Keep on working towards that goal! We all believe in you and pray for you
