Back in the mid 1970s I had a two hour alcohol and drug awareness lecture given by a Catholic priest (on film) for Naval Reserve training. The good father made several unforgettable points:

1. It does no good to send an alcoholic or druggie to rehab or detox until they have decided to change their behavior.

2. A change in behavior comes from the realization that the alcohol and/or drugs are killing you.

3, This realization only comes when the abuser hits “bottom” and there is no more denial and no place else to go.

4. Unfortunately, far too many abusers never hit “bottom” and the booze and drugs kill them first.

Analysis: Charlie Sheen is deadman walking.

Some jail time (or real threat of jail time) might straighten Charlie out. It did for Robert Downey Jr. Trouble is, these celebrities are often coddled. They get slaps on the wrist or nothing at all. Put Charlie in a cell with some burly guy named Bubba. Maybe then he’ll get serious.
