You’re Invited To A Sober House Concert Event!

Dr. Drew,

I am disappointed in you allowing all of those people to be so disrespectful, to each other but especially the staff. I think whether chose to behave like they do as spoiled children, the consequence should be removal from the house, immediately. No disrespect should be tolerated, just as you set rules for how the staff behaves those ungrateful kids should be held to the same standard. That’s what’s wrong with them anyway…they have been allowed to do and act in any manner they have wanted and now they feel entitled. They would not get away with their behavior on the street. Hold them more responsible for their actions. It’s about time.

Dr. Drew, I have been hearing news of Lindsey Lohan lately. It sounds as if she is still fighting her addiction. Have you tried to get her on celebrity rehab? If she did agree to come do you think she would do well in that situation? It would be nice to see her overcome her addiction and carry on with her career.

I was saved by your show. It actually saved my life. I am 487 years old and have been addicted to pain meds and smack for over 20 years.My first interduction to Opiate’s was in 89 when I was in a motorcycle wreck that crippled my right leg resulting in post tramatic arthritus .The answer to my problem acording to my doctor was pain meds .I had several problems legal because of my free life style ,”I have been a Tattoo Artist ,” for 30 years and because of who else I was I had to leave the country ,I moved to Mexico where my habit continued .I came back to America in 93 with a bigger habit .after many years of continually using and drinking I was diagnosed with Alcoholic pancreantitus .A very painful and life threatening disease I have full custody of my two daughters ,then ages 4 and 5 .I had owned several sucsessfull businesses ,making upwards to $4000 a day and a ever growing habit .I walked away from all of it to raise my daughters ,thinking that a change would change everything .I went to collage thinking that I would be able to support us on my artwork and to a certain degree did ,I also had a monster to feed ,my addiction .To make a very long story short I was perscribed 180 methedone ,90 dilaudide k4′s ,45 oxi 40′s,percocete 10′s ,valium 10′s ,marinol and 3 morphine shots a week at the emergancy room at my disposal .I started watching your show and saw that I wasn’t alone .I thought to myself if these can do this I can so I went cold turkey. After 5 days I went and told my doctor what I was doing she wanted to level me out afraid I was going to die if they didn’t .No suboxin or anything like that .just my percocetes and some oxi 10s and some dilaudid .It was a have to siuation.I started cutting down right away ,but still staying on the meds just enough to keep me from dieing .I felt like someone had hit me with a baseball bat from head to toe .I am proud to say I have now been clean for 16 days .Your show was my NA meeting when I couldn’t get to one because I was to sick to leave my home .I just wanted to personally thank your show ,because if I hadn’t accidently tiurned to your show and started watching it I wouldn’t have made it .Your show stirred up something in me that I can’t put into words .I think you should do a show about how many lives you’ve saved just by people tuning in .Peace

I am a stay at home mother, 43 years old and never had a drug or alcohol addiction problem, but I am addicted to this show. I just watched the finally and wanted to say great job. It is a great show, with real great people. I hope they all stay sober and happy as they are now. Great work Dr. Drew and all the staff and crew, and to VH1 as well.

Hi Dr.Drew.I have allways thought you do great work,i’v listened to love line on and off for years.I have been sober for 19 out of the last 21 years.I had one 3 year relaps and it nearly killed me.I havent watched all of the shows(rehab and sober house)but from what i have seen i think you may need to do some alanon meetings if you arn’t all ready.I beleave Rodmans bed could of been used for somone that wanted to get sober.I think you underminded the house manager(talking to a patient like that would be grounds for dismisal)they wern’t patients they were roommates and the manager wasn’t your staff!I beleave you gave a wrong inpresion of what a sober living house is.The house managers i know wouldn’t of put up with the crap she had to put up with because of your manipulation.If the “patients” had seen that they couldn’t act like jackholes(Jimmy and Addam referance)maybe they would of started to act better.You are a cool guy with a good heart but i think you need to be more of a hard #%*~$!(#(_^$)@! If someone dosn’t get with the program kick them out and bring in someone that’s ready. R.B.

HI Dr. Drew

I really enjoy your show and hope the best for all the celebs that have been on the show.

My boyfriend currently fighting addition and I have been with him for 13 years and he has been through a number of rehabs which he has benefited from all but still has not been able to kick the habit. Most recently he has hit his rock bottom (I hope) and was living on the street in a large city. I am unable to help him any longer and he is in another city but keeps in touch so I know he is alive. Currently he is doing well and really likes where he is and has a good job. I recently said to him I hope he is does well cause that is all I want for him and if it is with out me I am ok with as long as he is alive and well.

Again, wish all the celeb rehabers all the best and to keep up the good fight… :)n
