Wow, you may be sober but you certainly havent dealt with your issues in the least. There are two addicts in this weeks episode. 2. Their only hope is an intervention. Summary: Ryan and his family are one of those families that look perfect. Seems like the only people who do well here are those who love being beaten into submission. The rehab they sent me to was a joke. He was apparently sober as of may 25, 2007. Nothing, except Im fine. I hope his family is doing well too. I hope that you are doing well. I agree. Strange episode other than the final results, I did not expect him to stay clean and he didnt. His personality only adds to that. The ocean always felt like a breath of fresh air since i moved to the coast. This was by far the most ineffective intervention I have seen to date. Projecting his own issues? She has since moved on and is engaged with another daughter. Ive seen his episode a few times and that director of the rehab never ceases to CREEP the FUARK out of me. I just saw a new preview clip up on the Intervention facebook page of Katherine and she is a totally different girl. Hope youre doing well and things are looking up for you. Update: Ryan Luken passed away on June 30, 2019. She gives zero support to the family, I cringe watching it. Im glowing. not to mention everyone calling him a liar u guys werent there! Recall that he left treatment early and there weren't very many good updates on his progress. They both had strong, calming presences in the face of such high anxiety. Beneath the addiction he has a vulnerability and sweetness to him. True. The stuff his parents said obviously had a huge impact, and the fact that the fiancee who was pissed about the whole thing actually came around and ultimately convinced him to go it was all just incredibly powerful and amazing. This is a little embarrassing but Ryan reminded me of this guy I used to hook up with who was an adderral addict. One thing is totally clear: That family has some of the most toxic interactions Ive ever seen. If . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3uwcvMzy0M, Heres another clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED8mJBjMsCA, The first clip is showing the screen from youtube.

I know where he is from . I had a very hard time sympathising with anyone. I found this site bc I was so uoset I did a search. What an angry, ungrateful person you sound like. I dont know how to describe what Im saying without people taking offense but in the newer episodes it looks like his lips are thinner and almost I dont know I cant explain it but it just looks different. Smart and sensitive people have it much harder in this world its all about building the psychic armor isnt it continued good health and live to be old! The parents just seemed resigned to burying their kid and the dynamic between the parent and kid was wilddear god, what was happening with the nerf gun?! he lied about his name, it IS ryan braswell. Official synopsis:From the outside, Ryan and his family look picture perfect. I dont think he really cared about his son. Bless your heart ryanyeah, screw what people think. To think they may be again enabling and funding his addiction is frustrating, sad and so disappointing. No matter how bad your vision is, as long as you can achieve 20/20 vision with the help of glasses, contacts, etc. The way he has two guards flank him at all times, the I can hear the anger in your voice, even that weird hair color, there is something incredibly off-putting and sociopathic about him. The camera men constantly lied to me about when filming. Though I didnt care much for him through this episode, I hope he as well as all the others are sober and doing well. Feeling too much is a very hard way to go through life, your concern for others in your family esp your mom, was incredible. I have more life in me than most people you will ever meet. The relapse rate is 98% for most ppl in ANY type of recovery. The series has been running since 2005, and there has been a seemingly endless number of shocking stories detailed throughout all 18 seasons. Any update? She was addicted to meth and fortunately had the help of her interventionist, Donna, who was able to handle this delicate situation. Hes a wonderful human being. If I was the interventionist Id have rang the police on them. As of 2021 it looks like he has a beautiful wife and family and seems to be doing well and helping others. What a odd, bizzare bunch of comments. Just curious, what was Iyanla helping the family with? In a fake family that taught me nothing of values. Too bad hes missing it. They idealize people from reality tv in their head. Hes just great, and I wish he could help everyone, every time. Ryans behavior is out of control and Im not just talking about drug-wisethe tantrum he threw when he was in his mothers closet when she was just asking where he was going for the night. So super glad to hear you and your daughters are doing so well! Ryan and his friends partying at his house and then getting into a fist fight is perhaps the single most disturbing Intervention scene ever. Early seasons didnt commit to particular locations or focus on a type of addiction. Im alive. Episodes typically feature an epilogue or follow-up months later with an update to the addicted person's progress or state. Me too! Truly hope someone helped those kids, https://www.facebook.com/ryan.braswell.3975 Intervention S 12 E 9 Ryan Oct 15, 2012 | 43m 11s | tv-14 l | CC Ryan, 25, is a sweet, sensitive man whose alcohol addiction is spiraling out of control as he and his fianc e are expecting their first child in a matter of months. i seriously doubted my sanity for a minute. someone above thought shannon had another daughter, but i think thats her boyfriends daughter, whos around eight. Wow. Keep the good work up. Ryan, once a talented drummer who was awarded a music scholarship to the state university, is addicted to opiates. He is from my city. Now, at 23, he lives in his parents basement using and dealing heroin, enabled by his parents' inability to face or confront reality. Its a bitch. How was that shitty? Yeah, her mother is awful to her, I am actually in her exact position at this point, but good for her, being a single mother to two kids is hard with no support, and she still has goals and ambitions and trying to do right. Ryan could have worn glasses and if his current glasses werent working well, have gotten a better prescription. By age 16, Nicole weighed just 68 pounds, and doctors inserted a feeding tube into her stomach. im a recovering addict myself almost five years sober, and its hard. But everything you see on TV is real. theres not much to go on but heres what i see. You are the sad and pathetic ones. Reminds me of every bad high school counselor. And if looks could kill Kaherines Mom was murderess!! Sorry I got off the subject at the clinic I go to u cannot use marijuana and stay in treatment there either no kind of mind altering substance is ok not even alcohol and its legal to buy.. but if ur saying ur in treatment, or recovery, u cannot use ANYTHING so it doesnt really matter if marijuana becomes legal or not ( even though Im firmly in the should not belief) u still CANNOT use it and consider urself in recovery. Maureen was not the right fit for him. i also 100% believe he was conversing with ken in the bluelight thread. This is maybe bizarre, but out of all background family members Ive seen on Intervention (and Ive seen every episode except for that one lost one) I really liked Ryans brother in law and his sister. So happy he is doing well lindsay. Life is pretty good when you dont have to stress about drugs or your life. This is also my first Maureen episode and wow is she bad at this. Going on 7 years. Like when hes holding the baby. I dont think its a candy cigarette dude. Did I say I live in Hawaii. i found shannons facebook. Addiction: Heroin, Benzos Never had to fish for veins. I can picture her as an assistant to an interventionist (who has personal knowledge and understanding of the addict psyche), providing help with family support, especially for the parents (that is something she understands and is in her wheelhouse). Original Air Date:June 2013 However, at the time the episode was filmed, she did not want to confront her problems. Im trying to understand relapsing and this show is really helpful. Finished my sentence. its worth noting that shannons bf has super red hair too. Lindsay, thats so great to hear. Age: 23 Stick them under a microscope however and you will find that beneath the posh home in northern California, Ryan's sucess as a drummer, beneath this, Ryan is secretly an OxyContin addict. He injects it up to 15 times per day and his mood swing . I think that if they would stick to their bottom lines, Ryan would go back to rehab because it seemed like that homelessness was something he was afraid of and he eventually said yes. While her life hit a rough patch, Laney once had what many would think was a picturesque life. I wonder how this family did? Did Ryan really get sober? I dont know if its because fentanyl just turns its users into zombies, but Ryan was probably the least sympathetic and likable addict Ive seen in a long, long time. . . Dear ryan. Seacrest's team was concerned about his busy schedule which is apparently very tight. So proud of Ryan. If he ever makes it to sobriety, hell have to do a lot of growing up to do. Sierra was the daughter of a small business owner and an honor student with college dreams. When the family showed up at her house the following day, Laney had locked herself in the mansion and called the police on them. What an amazing transformation. Interventionist: Candy. I was so happy to see that he began to teach disabled children at the end of the episode, once hed recovered. In my opinion, all of the negative comments are lacking compassion. I found his fiance(ex now) on Facebook and theyre not longer together. She was in two near-fatal car accidents and was also is in a relationship plagued by physical violence. Location: St Catherines, Ontario, Canada Treatment for this disease is really one day at a time. A few notes about Ryans episode that havent been addressed in the comment section, that Id just like to note, 1. All I want to do is help people. IKR? Your brains and good looks can only take you so far in life if you cant own your shit, follow rules or get along with other people then your life will be a letdown. Now may I ask every detail about your lives? What a bummer I really had high hopes for this family . And if they would stop making ppl feel like a failure for having to use methadone, suboxone and/or subutex, more ppl would complete the programs they offer I hope all is well out on the islands. And holy cow is her mother awful to her. So glad he chose life, He has a twitter profile too, also shows the pic of him holding a baby. Sad is that I always had my suspicions but believed him. As a teenager, Ryan was on the fast track to professional BMX racing until his mother's suicide attempt sidelined his life. But ever since I found out Ive had 20/20 vision. As shocked and saddened I am about reading these comments. I wish I knew. Otherwise dont package and present it as such. A&E's award-winning docuseries Intervention profiles people whose addictions have taken control of their lives. Now 26, he is addicted to fentanyl. And no, Im not assuming that because of the show but because of this post published just a few months ago by the real Ryan. Let me tell you something, bud: the real Ryan isnt coming across any better than the Ryan I saw on that show. This episode originally aired on August 2006. I thought Andrew wouldve been a better choice as an interventionist. He when to treatment too easily, I saw right thru him. If you see my previous comment ryan unfortanetly never saw the end of the addiction tunnel not implying he is dead or anything like he is very well still alive but unfortanetly Im more than sure he is either still in Oasis or Addicted somewhere else. What a giant miscarriage of justice. Thanks in advance. Who knows how a person reacts when living day-to-day with someone as out of control as Ryan? Ive never used that website.
