Intervention day 2

I went to Jenny's birthday party last night. She was actually in good spirits and happy to see everyone. She cut her hair really short and she kept complaining that it wasn't even enough.

She invited me to tag along with her and her sister to a local lounge to listen to some music. The camera's followed. Being followed by a camera wasn't as bad as I thought. I feel like I was able to talk pretty openly with Jenny about some issues.

During the car ride to the lounge, she told me that she was addicted to meth and that she wanted to quit, but she feels like at this point, she needs help. So that was a good sign.

The lounge was creepy. It was a total "stoner" place. Lots of couches, weird art, 100 flavors of coffee, and a guy on a guitar. After the lounge, we took her home. She hadn't had a hit for several hours and her personality took a sudden turn. She was very impatient, rude, and it felt like she was going to expolde at any minute.

So we dropped her off at her house where we knew the inevitable would happen. Only this time, she had the camera crew and producers with her. So we knew that she would be in good hands if anything were to happen.

I will let you know how day 3 goes tomorrow. This will be a 7 day intervention.
