The Real World: Joey Goes Home
The Real World Hollywood might actually be showing us once again what really happens when seven ridiculously good looking strangers live together. Real sh*t happens. And this week was possibly the most touching episode of The Real World in at least 10 years.
Fresh out of rehab, Joey became aware that living in a house full of party animals may not be the best way to stay sober. It was touching to watch him struggle with the desire to stay in the house and pursue acting and the knowledge that he needs to continue to work on his sobriety and staying alive.
The most emotional part of the episode was when Joey read his goodbye letter to drugs and alcohol. Learning that he had done cocaine while on the show surprised the roommates and (I’m guessing) viewers. There was not a dry eye in the Real World house (or mine for that matter).
While it’s sad to see Joey leave, I have every bit of hope that he will continue to work toward a healthy, sober and fulfilling life.

I have seen Joey thoroughout the show and I have to say he is a very good person. The emotions he has is proof that he a kind hearted person and he is dealing with the past addiction. I have seen many people say very offensive comments about Joey. The roomates, when at the night club were not listening to him when he was refusing to drink and they just kept pushing him to do it. Eventhough Joey makes his own decisions but he was telling them to help him. The problem today is people do not take the other peoples word seriously…I wish I was on the Real World to give Joey the right support and to tell Joey that Jesus Christ Loves him and he doesnt have to hurt anymore. I have seen pure addicts find Christ and have the grace of God change their complete lives without any relapse or even a desire for any drugs or alcohol. I pray that this message gets to Joey that JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU AND FOR YOU TO CONTACT ME. I PRAY FOR YOU AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR YOU TO BE HAPPY! Thank you and God Bless.
