That may be a reference back to "Grace Under Pressure." Brett Butler had her own issues.
Sheen, "voluntarily enters rehab center"
- Thread starter Gil T.Azell
- Start date
Chuck Lorre has "responded" to Sheen with a vanity card:

Sadly, this makes more sense than anything Charlie Sheen has said in weeks.
Ahh that could be it. Makes more sense than what he said anyway.
Was anyone else reminded of the Architect from The Matrix movies after reading that response?
After watching him on Piers Morgan (Urgh) I gotta say, his whole perspective seems to be based on Chuck Lorre not wanting to write scripts for the show, and so creating this whole media shitstorm over Charlie Sheen as a cover for him not doing any work.
Which would make sense, if only Charlie hadn't gone on the drug fueled bender to start this whole thing off in the first place, which I think predates the conversation about the scripts.

It does.
I agree with Sheen on the fact AA is a joke for most people, and that he can cure himself (I don't think he has or will) and that the creator should have known better than to blog about his employee, no matter how minimum it was.
But Sheen is the one that started it by missing work because he likes drugs and whores more than his show. He's now trying to cover his ass.
He was definitely more cogent on Piers Morgan than he's been in a while, but you don't have to be an expert to see that there's still some SERIOUS addiction and mental issues going on there. The level of denial he's in is off the charts.
And the idea that he could get over a drug as powerful as cocaine simply with the "power of his mind" is about as laughable as it gets. lol

There is, unfortunately, no form of drug treatment that demonstrably works "for most people" or even a substantial minority of addicts.
There is an element of damage done by drugs there, but honestly, from him clearing a drug test the other day to his very recent interviews where he says he puts on a show because he's an entertainer...given how lucid he was on Piers Morgan (urgh) I feel a certain portion of it is more him playing the media for laughs rather than being completely batshit insane.
Of course, he could have used again straight after taking the test, but given how adamantly he's protesting recently, im inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Even if Sheen is off the drugs, his behavior shows that he is not equipped to function well without them, and that's really what rehab is for. It's not just to get you clean but to teach you how to survive without that crutch to lean on. Rampant paranoia and bridge-burning is not a sign of a healthy person taking charge of his life.
Exactly so.
It's astonishing how easily some folks - even supposed reporters like Morgan - are taken in by this guy's abundant charm. To call his interview last night "lucid" is certainly a relative use of the term.
BTW, he's on Twitter now. Winning!
At a minimum, it takes years after being physically clean to become psychologically clean.
Sort of my thoughts. The drugs may be out of his system but he's still dealing with any psychological after-effects with them, he's tweaking bad and if he's not using it seems he's just converting that "need" into bat-shit insanity. I do not believe he's "playing it for the cameras" at all as there's no way he can think that this sort of behavior is doing him any good after a decades-long career of mostly being "that guy in those movies that were sort-of funny."
He goes to playing Rick "Wild Thang" Vaughn to this? He has to have mental issues and the way he acted in those interviews strikes me as him being in a manic-like phase but that's only from appearances and presumption. The guy has issues and, really, should be in a hospital or on anti-psychotics.
Not to defend Sheen, he hasn't missed any work. Well. Maybe that one time that he was in the hospital. But he has shown up for every other day of shooting.
Now, the QUALITY of this work when he showed up, well, now that's a different story.
People keep saying this, but it's not really true. Because he spent three weeks in rehab in February of 2009 the producers cut two episodes that had been planned for the season. So this recent trip to the hospital was not the first time his habits had caused the show to suspend production. His "I've never missed work" claim twists the truth - ie, he's never missed a day of work that he showed up for.
A lot of Sheen's fury directed against Lorre is classic acting out of the kind that some addicts call "king baby syndrome" - basically, when people around him rebel and his life starts falling apart because of his behavior, he throws tantrums in the irrational hope that everyone will fall back into line and return to enabling him. Lorre (and probably other behind-the-scenes management people on the show) have been down this road before with other drug-addicted actors (the aforementioned problems on Grace Under Pressure). Sheen knows now that he's being called on his bullshit, he has absolutely no idea what to do about it and he's terrified - that's where the grandiose boasting about how immensely powerful and talented he is and how perfect his fractured life is comes from.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that stint. Never mind. I was more thinking about recently.
Depends on the drug, I should think. In vino veritas and all that.
Missing work because you're in a hospital is hardly fair, even if he was in the hospital due to his personal proclivities. If he's never missed work because of his drug problem causing him to slack off, over-sleep or whatever then that's a check in his box. Many alcoholics cannot make such a claim.
Him going into rehab and "missing work" is hardly fair to his character. The drug abuse doesn't make him mis work, him wanting to get help for it did.
And the saga continues:
