| George Carlin to enter rehab | |
| 2004-12-27 | |
CNN) -- Entertainer George Carlin said Monday he is going into rehab because he has an alcohol and drug problem. In a statement, Carlin, 67, said, "I'm going into rehab because I use too much wine and Vicodin. No one told me I needed this; I recognized the problem and took the step myself."My levels of use are nowhere near the worst you hear about these days; I could easily have continued functioning at a good level ... for awhile. But my use would have progressed, I would have been in deeper trouble, and I didn't want to tolerate that. I've never been in rehab before and I know it isn't easy, but I'm highly motivated, and will do what ever's needed. When I get out, I will take a little time for myself before resuming my schedule," the comedian added.

| #14 He should have switched the vicodin for norquils. Half the tylenol, twice the hydrocodone. That much tylenol will kill you over time. My favorite pain killer, tramadol. Why did I need to take it? Compression fractures of the spine! |

#4 You used to be a funny guy. Unfortunately, rehab's probably not going to help with his comedy. |
