Rush Limbaugh: Open Line Friday [Confirms Some Aspects of Drug Story, Checking In To Rehab]

[I Am Not A Mod]

A thread for those listening to today's show.

[Cinnamon Girl]

We love you, Rush! Be strong. You can kick this!

[COBOL2Java]

Rush will be gone for 30 days while he fights this addiction.

[GOPrincess]

I'm no role model and I refuse to let anyone think I'm doing something heroic or great here. There are people you never hear of...who don't resort to any escapes, they just face it. They are the role models. I'm not a victim, I'm not going to portray myself as a victim...I take full responsibility for this problem. At the present time the authorities are conducting an investigation. I have been asked to limit public comments till investigation has come clean. The stories you've read contain inaccuracies and distortions and I'm going to clear those up when I'm finally free to speak about it."

[CollegeRepublican]

Yes, he admits addiction to Rx medications. He is going into detox for 30 days.

[Republican Red]

"I'm not a victim"

"I take full responsiblity"

"Stories you've read contained innaccuracies and distortions and will clear them up when authorities will allow'

[JulieRNR21]

WOW......God help him.

Will pray that he can overcaome this addiction.

[SGCOS]

He's bringing tears to my one good eye.

[Skooz]

He said he is addicted to prescription pain meds and will check in to a 30 day treatment facility immediately after the show today.

[Monty22]

Rehab really doesn't work. He's screwed. Once a junkie, almost always a junkie.

[Flyer]

Best wishes and prayers for Rush - you can do it buddy!

[COBOL2Java]

Boy, sure didn't take Druge long. He's already got it posted.

[carlo3b]

God Bless You Rush.. You have my prayers my friend.. Thanks for being you .. I love you ...

[Drammach]

This is a verification of his strong character.

That is all I could possibly ask for.

[Skooz]

More class than all his critics combined.

[GOPrincess]

"Your support has sustained me. But now I want to ask for your prayers because when this is all over with...it's never going to be all over with...I look forward to resuming our excursion into broadcast excellence."

[PISANO]

Asking for prayers NOW!! You can count on me Rush.

[Samurai_Jack]

Rush We Are Going To Miss You!!!

Go Get Better and we will be here when you come back!!!

DITTOS!

[CollegeRepublican]

I am not real familiar with addicting drugs and rehab, what are the rates of recovery?

[new cruelty]

Good luck, Rush. My prayers and best wishes are with you.

[Wolfie]

"I take full responsibility"

So will be be copping a plea to illegally obtaining controlled substances?
