And don’t forget druggie!
I saw Intervention last night and really want to tell Tressa to hang in there. She is better than the drug and she can win this battle.
..you know everyone gets lost in life but with a great base of support and love from her family, she received a second chance at life. I think that it is clear for anyone who knows her or even watched her on ‘intervetion’, that this girl can take any challenge that faces her and Will find a way to succeed…..Tressa, if you do read these messages, understand that you give much inspiration to others! You were offered a second chance at living and through your commitment and self-will, you have earned your life back!! Be proud of yourself! Another thing…you have already made the “Comeback”! Life is short..all you need to do is Love yourself! God bless.
from, (just some random viewer)
i saw intervention as well. the show kept me awake thinking about how life has so many ups and downs. i’m pulling for you to beat the drugs. would love to see you able to compete again. hang in there, girl………….you’ve got what it takes to make it back.
we are who we are, tressa, be yourself! best of luck!
I also saw Intervention last night, Tressa if you ever read this, I am the same age, was a hurdler, got involved in drugs, and was able to clean my slate and have a great life. You can do it.
I hope you you will be able to live your life the way YOU want too, with out the help of your old friend Meth. It’s a way better life.
I am watching all of the articles that have been written in the last few days and I am really tired of the ignorant, disrespectful people that there are out there. Apparently Tressa has more nerve to allow millions of people watch what she is going through.I guess it is easy to sit in your homes and hide behind your computer and point fingers…Obviously Tressa needs friends right now !!! She is a champ..always has been…always will be!!!
I also saw Intervention the other day and am pulling for Tressa 100%. It is obvious that she is a woman of tremendous strength, certainly not just physically, and I am positive that she can find her way to a much happier life. Here’s to a great comeback!
I saw Intervention on Monday night and my heart broke for Tressa and her family. I am a regular watcher of Intervention and week after week, you see drug addicts who are angry and disrespectful – Tressa was neither – she was a loving, gifted woman who went astray. It’s sad that someone as talented as she was slid far down a bad road. I have every faith that with her weight lifting regimen and California residence, she’ll be able to put the drugs behind her and comeback to the shotput circle. I threw shotput in high school and have much respect for other female shotputters.
Tressa, if you ever read this – you can beat the drugs. Take it a day at a time. I believe you will succeed.
Tressa, You have more supporters than you know. Make the comeback. Put all of your heart into it. Throwing is the only “high” you will ever need.
Lift strong. Throw far. Best of luck. God Bless.
I also saw the show about Tressa Thompson and good god can i relate ! She really touch me. I saw a fighter. It is so hard, when your family don’t understand what you are going throught, it makes things much harder. Because you can’t be who you really are with them and be free, on the other side it hurts so much not being able to be yourself, that the pain make you want to self-destruct.
I send you all the positive energy, hang in there !
You are not alone feeling like this, i can assure you.

Tressa –
I saw Intervention, and have been trying to figure out how to get a hold of you to tell you that i support you. I especially thought of you because I Am in Omaha. I have hope for you that you can get through your issues, and that your sexuality should be accepted by your family. You are a good person, and just desire love and acceptance. I accept you and support you all the way. Take care.
I think most people who watched the show are supportive. I also felt very sad for Tressa. I can’t even understand how much the drug has a grip on you if you choose it over being part of the Olympic team….as she did make a choice to use drugs knowing it could become an issue.
My heart went out to her. I hope she can stay clean and get her life back on track. Does anyone know if there would ever be a follow up show of sorts, some way to hear the “good story, the success story” she is making and will make. I can see her later helping others who end up in this situation.
Tressa’s dad is a hypocrite. He blames her lesbian lifestyle on her drug abuse and is certain that she will go to hell, all this after admitting he had an affair with another woman while married and living with her for the past four years. Last time I saw the bible, that was as much of a sin.
I haven’t been able to stop thinking of Tressa’s situation. I also feel that she’ll get her life in order…it’s just a sense that I have. I hope that others realize that her sexuality is not a choice. I think what her father seems to be missing is that maybe the problem (drug addiction) is stemming from him not accepting her sexuality and that is the way that she’s able to deal with it. Let her be who she is and love her for who she is! The bible also says…though shall not judge! This is her life and who she chooses to be with is of nobody’s concern as long as that person treats her well. I would love nothing more than to be able to get in touch with Tressa. Good Luck To You!
Tressa, I watched your story on Intervention here in Canada and felt compelled to “find you” to say: I am so proud of you. I can tell that you are a funny, considerate and loving person. A woman like you has so much to offer others I am certain that you will have a wonderful life filled with love and happiness. You ARE special……..so love yourself completely and never forget that.
I just wanted to say im watching the intervention right now, and hearing what her parents have to say about homosexuality, makes my heart break. I understand why she feels alone, have the parents ever thought that pushing her away or saying those words and or judgements has made her turn to to the meth??. And i really didnt enjoy what her father had to say. Im gay and you have enough troubles with the world not excepting who you are. You dont need your family turning on you to. What happens in the bedroom is not anyones concern. Good luck with everything Tressa. My heart is with you. I hope one day you find the strength to get passed your evil little friend.:)
Hypocrits like her dad are one of the reasons that I am an atheist. Being a lesbian is a sin, but adultery isn’t? I wish Tressa well, and I hope she own her part in the mess that her life has become.
Hey Tressa……I must have missed the first time you were on Intervention, because I just watched it last night May 5th. Thank God for reruns….LOL I admire you for being so strong and brave for doing what you did. I pray someday your family will accept you as you are. Although I did not have your drug addiction, I did grow up in smalltown Iowa as a gay teenager. That in itself was hard, so hats off to you. I hope you suceed at what ever makes you happy in Life. Take Care, Natalie
I’m a loyal Intervention watcher as well and saw last night’s episode on Tressa. I was very moved.
As a recovering woman in my mid-40’s I’m pulling for Tressa, too and hope to see her make a comeback. If nothing else, just keep on doing what you’re doing – ODAAT – and you can beat this and have a happy full life. God bless and thank you for sharing your story and your life with us.
Hi Tressa – If you read these, I just wanted to let you know that I am pulling for you. I live in Orange County now, and I actually played football against you in high school. I think that your folks should leave well enough alone and love you for you no matter whom you are sleeping with. Good luck to you and I would love to get in touch with you sometime just to compare notes about the midwest.
Just saw a repeat of intervention with Tressa on Monday night. It was so moving…I can completely relate..growing up in a farming community in northern Kansas. I hope Tressa knows how many people out here are pulling for her! I’d love to hear about any updates on her situation.
