Bravo to all the addicts and alcoholics who kicked their habits!! The hardest part of quitting is to admit that you have a problem and to ask for help.
@@freedomring4813 😢😢Finished it a long time ago....and you know what poped up on the screen...Episodes of Touched by an Angel...😉 Nearly Finished with that aswell...just the watch later left to watch..🙈😢😢😢 Im going to miss my Episode's..May God Bless you Freedom and if you know Jesus..Oll see you on Heaven as the Rapture is very close..☝🕇🙏
@@gwen7084 Yes, but in a few months you can watch them all again. I have the Columbo DVD set and I watch them all a few times a year. HTH is great ,every episode you have tears ,you smile and you laugh. Every emotion in each episode.
@@gwen7084 what channel has Touched by an Angel? I love that program too. Ive been trying to find Little House episodes too. I found a channel with Bonanza .
So am I. No matter how many times I watch the reruns, Landon and French superb actors and directors and speak to my soul. The enduring lessons transcend time itself
I've only watched a few minutes and already this is a great episode. It speaks to today's opioid crisis. I can't help but thank all the adult athletes that have had addiction problems oh, but I specially think the young athletes that were forced beyond their means and told to take drugs and to work through the pain. All of the girls that train in gymnastics under Bela karolyi came in mine and how abusive he was to them making them workout and pop painkillers. I also think about other Sport Systems such as the Chinese Communist Party in the old Soviet Union that turned out athletes like products then I'm sure many of them were addicted to painkillers as well.
This movie is a prime example of what goes on today in contact Sports. Back then athletes were popping pills like peanuts. Today in 2018, they are suffering from concussions, and memory problems. They are also having all kinds of neurological issues.
They were suffering from all of those things before as well - it just wasn't being recognized or openly discussed. The damage from head injuries is not new at all and decades overdue being recognized.
@@kareemsupremet.v.5189 You specified the year of 2018 which implies it is recent. While you meant 2018 and all years before, it implies it is recent. People need to be aware if there are problems with someone now that it can be from an injury long before 2018. It certainly does not need to be from contact sports but rather any blow to the head. Tragically, I know far more about this than I would have ever wanted to know. Because of my son's death, I feel it really matters that people realize this is not a minor problem and certainly not limited to sports. You clearly realize that, but those reading your comment may not "digest" it fully. [EDIT: My son's 1997 death was from an injury in a 1996 auto accident.]
Michael Constantine (who played the Doctor.. the Dad) is an awesome actor. He was in My Big Fat Greek Wedding too and the movie My Life. Great job here in Highway!
Michael Constantine also played the part of Seymour Kaufman, principal of Whitman High School in the ABC TV series "Room 222" that aired from 1969-1974. 😉
My mom had a robe like that once. This was a very interesting episode, I wish that every athlete could watch this episode and see what addiction can do to them and their families. Then they could find other more natural ways to heal the pain that comes with playing sports.
To sad to see this because its so real in many ways. Its not even by pain problems but other meds to for like sleeping ect. Sad pressure is a huge problem in sports and actors and get told do do do we want u need to make it even more worse. Not only that its all about money in it as well for some. It hurts the ones who do need it when others do wrong. So the ones who need it every day pay for it as well because they cant get what they need to to others with abuse from it or other crap they do. Also it kills so many people and change them because of addition.
We need two things God said backing American government jobs Holmes live Society and this is a beautiful show because it shows him how to handle situations understand make sure they apply with Jesus said to doing his word
Wasn't there an episode where Mark was trying to quit smoking he gets a pack of cigarettes and in the pack there's note telling him Breaking a promise can be hazardous to your health.?
Going thru detox is a horrible feeling. Being an accidental addict because your Dr doesnt care enough to tell you just how very addictive your medication can be is even worse. Not being able to function like normal people totally sucks. Being in chronic pain and needing relief is something not everyone understands unless theyve gone thru it.Knowing you will never be able to stop because you know you cant handle the pain is horrible. Watching someone you love killing themself because theyve Overdosed is a feeling noone wants to know.Dont judge something you know nothing about,just try to be supportive of those in your life who are going thru addiction and recovery. Sometimes all they need is for you to listen without feeling the need to give your opinion,just LISTEN and dont judge or try to FIX it.
It would be much easier for someone to quit taking drugs if it wasn't for the withdrawal. Even if they really want to stop the withdrawal is hell to get through. When you are feeling that bad and know that all it will take to make you feel better is a pill it is hard not to take it.
For all those whom are addicts. First of all I Love you and second please know you can help yourself drink fresh carrot juice and all kind of leave greens but please pray. Go to volunteer at hospice or ICU. Who do you Love so much that you can stop. Look at those whom need you and Love you. Pray. Cirrhosis to the liver is a death sentenced.
😊 👍 🙏. Addicts of different drugs - street, alcohol, pharmacutical & tobacco - I've known over my life time. Some managed to knock off the habit, others did not & paid the price of their actions. Only one, had a valid excuse - they were addicted by their MD, due to reactions from their underling health condition Pharmacuticals. Either way, this person was dead - later or sooner ; he took sooner rather than continue to accomadate the physical pain experienced. A very smart person, who's conversations I miss.
A lot of people think that the steroid/PED days are mostly in the past. But you'd be a fool to think that. PEDs are as big a business as ever and way more athletes use them than anyone can imagine. The difference is that PEDs have evolved into being much harder to detect nowadays. Also, people at the top of sports look the other way even though they know full well what's going on. There's no honor in sports anymore. Very sad.
One would think that Jonathan, being an angel, would use a little divine intervention and repair Mark's car with some of that old time cosmetic body work.
Christopher Tsiliacos - Or maybe Jonathan is an Angel because he knows that Jesus wouldn’t have driven a Cadillac, wouldn’t care about a dent in a machine, or care that his car was not the latest model.
When there's something about mechanics, he does. But that lack of body work shows us God's not looking for perfection in what we create as only what he creates can be perfect. This is why all big towers, big ships and any big creation made by human, will eventually fall down or get destroyed, in order to prove it's ONLY HIM who can make really great craft and defy physics and all other sciences.
We have a meth crisis. Texting and driving crisis. More people die from car accidents than opioids or meth. I’m so tired of the media blowing up issues that aren’t as big as they make it out to be. These people get the drugs off the street more then from a doctor. Drugs aren’t going anywhere. This whole society is in crisis from one thing or another. Porn, money , social media, alcohol, tobacco. Addictions everywhere we turn. They should focus on a solution. But that’ll never happen because they only want to focus on the problems. Money is all they care about.
I just realized they call Micheal Jonathan. Yeah, he does not look like one. Charles , yeah , but Jonathan no..😆 .. wait , he doesn't look like a Micheal to me either. Just Charles.. Caroline: Charles, .. Home is wherever you are ..awe 😆
@@AshMae264 I didn't say it wasn't. I said they picked a name that didn't "fit him" because he was not supposed to resemble his life on earth before. He *was* Arthur as a human but Jonathan as an angel. Of course the entire idea of whether people's names match their appearance is actually absurd given their names are given to them as infants or even before they are born.
@@AshMae264 I suspect if anyone asked use to pick out "Eugene" in a group of folks, Michael Landon would not be first choice for most of us. I guess it depends much on the folks we have known in the earlier part of our lives.
My husband died from pancreatic cancer and suffered from unbearable pain because the doctors wouldn’t prescribe him pain medication because he might become addicted… We begged for pain medication for him and they wouldn’t help him… He had three months to live and they couldn’t prescribe pain medication because he might become addicted! He was so desperate that he asked me to kill him and of course I couldn’t … My husband died in agony because of the one size fits all to the medical community solution
I do not understand where from who gave this doctor a license to practice medicine, and where the hell does he store his conscience (if he has one at all😏)
It's no different than all the woke doctors who were selling medical marijuana cards on the sly before pot became legal. The single worse mistake in the history of law making.
Michael Landon made some good tv! And look at the junk that's on tv today. Boring drama, comedies with toilet humour, and reality shows that are about as real as a 3 dollar bill.
