There's a lot of

Me and Chelan
were really close.

Chelan was
always very active.

We lived in a

She was always
outside playing with them.

Chelan was happy‐go‐lucky.

She liked being around people;
always smiling.

Chelan had a really special
relationship with my dad.

I was the
favourite, you know...

I came first
before everyone else.

And love her, I mean,
I only want the best for her.

But ah...

I probably wasn't
the best father.

My dad's parenting
style was he was drunk.

I was an alcoholic;
I still am an alcoholic.

I was drinking
upwards of a 26'er a day.

But you know,
I remember my dad, like,

when he
would drink, like...

He did a lot of like
insensitive things.

He didn't really,
you know,

take care of my
two older siblings.

Family was very unhealthy,
very not functional.

Like, it wasn't...
happy times.

Like my mom was
always bitchy,

and my dad was always drunk.

I couldn't be around my
dad and his alcoholism,

so I cut it all out.

I left when I was 19,
to go work in Alberta.

contact with any of

my family because my
dad was a drunk,

straight drunk.

Chelan did really
well as a single mom.

She was amazing.

Her kids had
everything they wanted.

I was proud. I had these
two beautiful little boys

who I was taking care of.

They gave me
motivation to better myself.

She started going back to
school for a program that

was tailored specifically
for young mothers.

Shortly after that,
she met Chris.

Chris was so nice,
accepting, didn't drink...

Didn't really party...

He took on her boys
like they were his own.

My brother did everything
for Chelan's two boys.

We just moved into
this nice house.

I was happy.

I was starting my
photography business.

That was her pride and joy.

She would always take
pictures of her kids,

go around taking pictures
of other people's families.

She did my maternity
photo shoot for me.

It seemed like Chelan
captured true moments,

like, true, realness
through people.

She was able to bring out a lot
of happiness in a lot of people.

I saw that she was
putting her family first.

She resented me
for quite a while,

but then we slowly started
to have a good relationship.

We were buddy buddies again.

She blossomed
into a homemaker,

a potential wife;
they got engaged.

She became pregnant.

Those were the
happiest days of my life.

I was taking care of
both my kids, like, I...

I was so happy;
I really was.

I loved being a mother.

But, I know that
after Chelan had Zayden,

Chris had a
detachment from her.

And, the pressure of them
both working full‐time,

and the pressure of
having three children

became too much,

just deteriorated.

driving me to work.

Said, "I do not want to
be a mother right now.

I do not want
this responsibility.

‐ Morning. l, good mor.

Morning.

My name is Maureen Brine,

and I am the interventionist.

So I'm here to
really help you...

To get ready to intervene
on Chelan tomorrow.

And this pre‐intervention
day is your day.

How do you think her
addictions have affected you?

She doesn't have ‐
she hasn't been a part of

my family, so she hasn't
had a chance to

build a relationship
with her niece.

I would love to...

For my daughter
to have that aunt.

Yeah, that would be great,
wouldn't it?

I want to see
her get better,

for herself, for her boys,
for her family.

'Cause she is a great mum.

You know, you see her ‐
I see her now.

I drive down the street.
You wave to her or something

and she doesn't even
acknowledge you.

Like she drops her head.
She sees you,

she just doesn't
acknowledge you.

She's just ‐ it's not her.
‐ Right, yeah.

You know?

I don't think she realized it
was gonna get where it is now.

I don't think anybody
does when you're in that ‐

I don't think anyone
wakes up one morning and goes,

"Now I'm on the road to becoming
a heroin addict," right.

No, I think she went from
zero to sixty really quick.

You're right.

And you gotta stay at sixty.
‐ You're right.

What led her in
this direction?

In my opinion, Chelan has...

Abandonment issues,
I'd say.

That's a good word.

Has a fear of
being alone, and just,

you know, needing to be with
someone in order to feel whole,

or to have an
illusion of feeling whole.

And is there anyone here that
she might point a finger at?

Phil, you're right
in the center there, Phil.

Well, I, I don't know.

I figured
Chelan's addiction,

she would get
over it, and...

I didn't think it was as
serious as it ‐

as what I've come,
come to learn.

Yeah.

You know, and now
I've seen it firsthand.

Well, having the attitude of,
'it's none of my business,'

right...
‐ Well, I've always ‐

..."She'll get over it,"
didn't help.

I have my own demons.
Not drugs, but...

I was fighting with alcohol,

drinking almost a
40‐pounder a day.

Wow.
‐ By myself.

By yourself, yeah.

Did Chelan grow up with
you drinking very heavily?

At times, yes.
‐ Okay, yeah.

So, that also makes
you not available, right?

Ah, yeah.

So it may have
impacted her life, too.

Yep.
‐ That's hard.

Hard as a dad to see
your daughter that sick.

Yep.
‐ Yeah.

How do you guys feel about
the fact that he's sitting here?

It's great.
‐ It's great.

Yeah.

And I think Chelan
would realize that, too.

You know, I think that you
owe your kids your recovery.

Oh, I know that.
‐ Yeah, you owe your kids.

All of them; not just one.

Yeah, when you put
it all together,

there is a history of
loss and abandonment.

For sure.

Right?
‐ Yeah.

Some of what I would call
the predisposing factors

to her addiction, right...

That, that kind of
ruptures of connection, really.

Mhm.

And you know, that cycle of
abandonment is continuing on

because now her drug
addiction has pulled her

away from her own children.

Yeah, well my,
my brother and Chelan

were together for
quite some time.

Yeah.

And, Zayden lives in
the house with me, and...

I, I see how it affects
him every single day.

Well, you're seeing the
effects on a little boy

of not having his mum around.
‐ Yeah.

Right, so, hopefully
we can stop that cycle.

So, she's been going
to your house as

kind of a safe house?

At night, yeah.
‐ At night time.

My rules are you can't
be there during the day,

really, unless
it's, you know,

something really urgent.

I ask that she don't contact
me later than eleven if she ‐

If she's coming over.
‐ Coming over.

Right. So you're providing a
safe haven for her.

Yeah, and that,
for me, is hard.

It's a fine line between
enabling and harm reduction.

That's a tough
line to walk, right.

And I think that the
distinction is that

she's sick, not bad.
‐ Yes.

And so she maybe
gets that you get that, right?

Yes.

So I want your letters to
begin with whatever

you want to say about
your love for her.

The next piece is that you
need to tell her about

how the addiction
has impacted you,

without shaming
or blaming her.

Then the third
part is, of course,

what you are prepared to do.

You need to be really
clear that you need to

save yourself if she
won't save herself.

Mhm.

An intervention is only as
strong as the bottom lines.

If you can't
follow through with it,

do not write it down.

It's all right.

if she should

turn us down tomorrow,

I need my
sister back as well.

But your addiction has
not made that possible.

Today you are being given a
gift to get better, Chelan.

To get Chelan back.

To get her boys
and her family back.

Chelan...
(Sighs)

Can I hold your hand?
‐ Mhm.

I'm here today because
you're my sister and I love you.

It kills me to see and
hear about

how your life has taken
this wrong turn.

(Sighs)

I wish we would have
had a better chance

to build a stronger
relationship.

I feel dad's addiction took
me down a different road.

As I got older, I walked
away from everything in my life.

Leaving everyone behind.

When I felt like I was
strong enough to rebuild

some relationships,
I reached out to you.

And we were slowly starting
to build a relationship.

Our kids were slowly starting
to get to know each other.

I was getting to
know my sister.

♪

And how your
family was your world.

In a very short time,
it felt like it was gone.

And so were you.

And I needed to end that
relationship because I was

unable to allow that to
be a part of my life.

I'm sorry I walked away
and I did not try to be

a better big sister.

(Sighs)

Chelan...

It's okay,
Phil.

First thing I do is check
the news to make sure

you're not the people that
have died from overdose

overnight in Kamloops.

I'm here because I love you
and don't want to lose you.

When you came for
dinner on Saturday,

I didn't know how bad
your addiction was.

It broke my heart to
see you like you were.

I know my drinking
has affected you.

I'm truly sorry for the ‐

any damage that it has caused.

I cannot make up
for yesterday,

but I can make up
for the future.

And I'm sorry, Chelan.

I know, dad.

So, do you have a bottom
line for your daughter, Phil,

if she should not...?
‐ Yes, I do.

My bottom line is, Chelan...

I really don't want
to close my door,

but I will have to.

That it would really hurt
you to have to do that.

Yes, it would ‐ it would
really hurt me to

have to close my door
on my daughter.

So it's my job
today, Chelan,

to ask you whether or not
you're ready to accept

help for your addictions?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Are you ready?
‐ Oh, yes.

I'm more than ready.
‐ You're more than ready.

I'm more than ready.

Thank you.
‐ You're welcome.

Thank you for saying yes.

♪

I love you.
‐ I love you, too.

You can get better.

I'm fighting my
own additions;

we can fight them together.

We'll climb the
stairs together.

Bye, dad.
I love you.

♪

Love you!
‐ Love you, Chelan!

We love you, Chelan.
You'll do good, Chelan.

Bye!

Love you!

Love you, Chelan!
‐ Bye.

Bye.

It's gonna get better.

It's gonna get a lot better.
‐ Yeah.

♪

Sure am.

Welcome to the
Thorpe Recovery Centre.

Hi.
‐ Hi.

For Chelan, right now, the
challenges for her during

her detox is going to get
through the withdrawal.

When we're looking at this
drug that she's been using,

it's a hard drug.

It's really
difficult for withdrawal.

Cold turkey,
we would lose her.

Absolutely.

The nurses are gonna
go through a

withdrawal protocol with her.

Based on that, that's when
a decision is made

as to what medication
she'll get.

We're gonna try to set up
something so that she will

be able to interact
with her kids at a safe,

therapeutic
level here for her,

and for them.

♪

I took off these foggy
glasses and I can see again,

and I don't
think I realized...

The beautiful
world I lived in.

I took it all for granted.

I think one of her
greatest break throughs was,

"I'm not that person
anymore," and

it was a surprise for her.
"I'm not that person".

I think she knew who she
was before she came here.

I think she just lost
connection with that.

But, it ‐ I think it was
evident that she

reconnected with who
she knew she was.

♪

(Screams & Laughs)

I wake up and I'm happy,
and I'm joyful,

and I feel good, and I
don't need substances.

(Laughs)

Sometimes, I really had to
keep reminding myself like,

"I am not a drug
addict anymore.

I am not a drug
addict anymore".

I mean, it's...

it's a beautiful feeling.

It was emotional
seeing her just...

you know, seeing
how healthy she was.

It wasn't the same
person she was 99 days ago.

I've met so many friends.

You look happy.
‐ Do I look happy?

You look so good.

Sky's the limit.

I mean, she can do
whatever she wants.

There is no holding her back
and I think she realizes that,

so to be
there and to see it,

and experience
it with her, is, is huge.

I'm so excited. Like,
I'm so excited, just...

To live again,
like, oh my God.

When Chelan arrived,
she was quite desperate

to have a different way of life.

She lost connection
with who she was,

but I think she got reconnected
with the real Chelan.

You know, Chelan the mom.

You know, she got in touch
with that quite quickly.

Almost 100 days,
that's awesome.

Yeah.
‐ That's amazing.

I know.

It's gonna be a journey for
all of us to, to go on.

Learning to love and live,

and be with each other,
you know...

In a whole different way.

In a whole different
light and way.

This journey's,
it's just beginning.

It's gonna be good.
‐ It's gonna be good.

Bye, Debbie.
‐ It was a pleasure.

I love you!

Do great,
because you are, okay?

Okay, yeah.
‐ Love you.

Love you, too.

A lot of people want to have
this chance to come and

get better, and I was
granted with it, so, like,

I wanna, I wanna make
the best of this.

I don't want to have
something like this given

to me and then I
just throw it away.

I mean, I gotta take this
and do something

that's amazing with it.
