Season 9, Episode 4
Jimmy
Age: 28
Location: LaSalle, Illinois
Addicted to: Methadone
What’s Memorable: How sick Jimmy’s addiction has made his mother Joanie. She’s way more of a mess than he is, and probably the most enabling and co-dependent parent I’ve seen on this show.
Official synopsis: Raised by an absentee alcoholic father, Jimmy joined a gang at 13 and was soon addicted to heroin. The birth of Jimmy’s son prompted him to try to get clean, but when things got tough with his new family, he began using again. Now Jimmy shares a dangerous methadone addiction with his ailing mother that threatens to kill them both.
Original Air Date: January 2011
Interventionist: Jeff
It’s a sad story but, coming from knowing him, he has a good heart. Wishing him all the best. I love you jimmy
thank you jess,love you.
Good thing about this directory Jimmy..you got people that don’t know you who got love for you even after all the years since intervention. Stay up bro
Anyone know about how he is doing now?
His mom was in so much pain and she gave him her pain meds
It’s seriously so sad that he was able to stay sober for a long time and then relapsed due to the epilepsy. Also, I hate that there’s no new information about him. Seems like a guy who could really make it in this world if not for the drugs.
Any current info on Jimmy?

There’s a family Christmas picture with Jimmy in it from January 2018. He looks ok, but I’m wondering if Joanie’s husband passed away or if they got divorced?

Did anyone else completely love the step father? What a straight shooter but sensitive dude.
Probably my favorite person from this episode.
I loved him!
Jimmy your episode is one of my favorites and I’m so happy to hear that you stayed sober. The moment between you and your dad at your intervention is so genuine and heartfelt and every time I watch it I tear up and I am so happy that you ended up saying yes. It’s wonderful to hear your mom is doing well too. I wish the best for you and your family!
This was a good episode just watched it again 2023 just going through some episodes first off Jimmys mother Joanie was so sweet but stuck on her son and not focusing on herself the poor woman has lupus and yet she would give her son her methadone and when she ran out she would drink so happy she went and got treatment because mixing pills and booze is a bad combination Jimmy to went to rehab what I couldn’t believe was he moved in with his mom?! and said he began using again because of an epilepsy diagnose dam I was hopping Joanie and her boyfriend got married and lived happily after not Jimmy relapsing and moving in with her
i’m glad Jimmy is doing well now! he seemed like a cool guy, especially when he’s clean! anyone know how his mother is doing? she was, for lack of a better term, a hot mess…
Good for you Jimmy!! Just watched your intervention and I am so happy to hear that you have stayed sober. You must be so proud of yourself!!! I know I am of you!! Life can suck but you have shown that it can be done. Good for you!!!
