What’s Memorable: This one is painful. Taking care of someone who could literally die if they don’t get alcohol into their system is beyond exhausting and constantly terrifying. Making sure they have enough alcohol in order to stay alive another day while knowing that you’re helping them stay addicted, it’s just too much. And then also having to watch them take a bunch of pills that could easily result in an overdose and not being able to do anything about it? No one should ever have to deal with that kind of turmoil. I have nothing but empathy for Sandi and their family and friends. They did what they had to do to keep him alive, and calling Intervention may have been the thing that actually saved his life. I really hope so, he has a lot to live for and his family deserves to be happy.
Official Synopsis: Daniel is a well-respected Paranormal expert. However, his sensitivity leaves him tormented by those entities needing to cross to the other side. Daniel is now consuming a gallon of vodka per day to quiet the voices. That, combined with easy access to pain meds and opiates Daniel takes for his lupus diagnosis, has left him spiraling out of control. His family fears that it is only a matter of time before he is lost inside a world he cannot escape.
Date Aired: June 2016
Interventionist: Candy
I saw Daniel’s 2021 mugshot, and I couldn’t even recognize him when I saw it, sad to see his addiction cur his life short…
The paranormal aspect of this makes me feel that he was opening himself up to demons. There are no voices without persons – the voices were demons tormenting and deceiving him. I hope and pray that upon his death he was given a chance to accept Jesus and be welcomed into heaven.
There is no such thing as demons, or a spirit world, jesus was never real, none of the thousands of gods man has made up were ever real, no religions ideas of an afterlife were ever real, and no religion was ever true.
Mental health problems – you may hear voices as a symptom of some mental health problems, including psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder or severe depression.
