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.

[Skooz]

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

BS. I was a junkie. Jesus Christ delivered me from drugs in 1985. Been clean every day since.

[mewzilla]

Rehab works. If the addict wants to recover. It's all up to the addict. If Limbaugh wants to do this, he'll do it.

[Tribune7]

Prayers for Rush. He was great on his show BTW.

Do you speak from your own experience?

Or does hatred of Rush prompt your very negative aomment?

[A CA Guy]

Probably destroyed his back with the previous weight.

Has to take meds for pain or learn to live with it.

He is screwed from a pain management point of view for sure.

All he can do is dry out and only be allowed so many pills a week under prescription. Being he has access anytime to pills with his wealth, this could be very tough.

Rush asked for prayers. He has my prayers and best wishes for a full recovery.

[dittomom]

Prayers on the way for you and Marta, El Rushbo!! It is gonna be a long road...STAY STRONG!!!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

May God bless Rush and his family as they deal with this. Kudos for admitting the addiction.

[dirtboy]

My prayers go out to him, Lord help anyone facing addiction problems. We can make political points later...

[Skooz]

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

Ditto. He's been there for me since the first day I heard him in April 1990. Now it's my turn.

[MHGinTN]

You hate-filled little minded twerp! A man shares the truth with his audience and you tak eit as your slathering opportunity to slime him. Your vacant understanding of the true nature of prescription drug addiction and the ultimate outcome of breaking that addiction is glaring. STFU and go join your Rushbashing butties somewhere else. You're an insult to FR!

[1Old Pro]

Prayers on the way for you and Marta, El Rushbo!!

How about prayers for his audience who are addicted to his show?

[GOPrincess]

Ditto Cam went dead before official show time ended, on radio the last minute of show was just his theme music.

[SpookBrat]

I would have completely agreed with you before two years ago if my husband hadn't proved you wrong. It can be done.

[baseballmom]

Rates of recovery for alcohol and drug addiction are small, It's a daily choice - ask anyone addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.

[Skooz]

Pretty hateful post there, Wolfie.

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

Bullshit ~ I've been clean and sober since October 26, 1975!

[Howlin]

Thanks.

Sad.
