VanVonderen has completed his next installment entitled Soul Repair: Rebuilding Your Spiritual Life.
VanVonderen has written seven books on various topics such as family troubles, drug addiction, and spirituality. Jeff is a Certified Intervention Professional. Aside from producing seven spiritually themed works, VanVonderen was also a regular fixture on A&East"s Emmy-winning Intervention, having kept his demeanor and legendary mustache largely unchanged throughout the fourteen seasons of the show.
He has held thousands of interventions, helping individuals fight deadly addictions.
He instructs each one of those families on the proper way to cope and unite in the recovery and treatment processes. In 2008, in one of the episodes of "Intervention" on A&East, Jeff admitted to having a brief alcohol relapse.
He has since sought help. Jeff is quoted as saying "Individuals and families become dysfunctional by accident.
But they get well on purpose and this is what I"m about, helping them do that." Jeff is well-known to repeat the same phrases to addicts, their family and friends.
Many quotes are listed below: -"I see a bunch of people that love you like crazy and they feel like they are losing you. And they wanna fight to get you back." -"Hi, I"m Jeff. You can call me Jeff." -"They"re gonna say what they"re gonna say, then you"re gonna say what you"re gonna say and then we"re done." -"You need to get well whether they get well or not." -"We only care about one thing they say tomorrow, and that"s they"ll go to treatment.
Everything else that comes outta their mouth is just noise." -"You do a lousy job as a treatment center, so as of today, you"re fired." -"You"re on the side of death, and we"re here to get you back on the side of life." -"We"re not here to make them feel bad.
If feeling bad solved anything, this would already be solved." -"The bottom line message of an intervention is "There is nothing we won"t do to help you get better. But there is nothing more we will do to help this continue anymore.
We"re done."" -"When their problem becomes their problem, the odds go up that they"ll get better.".
