re: Harkin, High on Hate [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
In the Palm Beach Post story I just linked to, some revealing comments from Rush about his addiction struggle:
"The only thing I regret is that, because of legal and business reasons, I haven't been able to tell my story. But I'll ponder how I could start sharing because I've often wanted to."
Partly, Limbaugh wants to tell the world how he managed to beat the up to 70 percent relapse rate after spending five weeks in an Arizona drug treatment center in 2003. Of 10 people Limbaugh met there and stayed in touch with, including two NFL quarterbacks and several CEOs he didn't identify, seven have fallen back.
"I have had no desire" for narcotics, he said. "But I plan on continuing therapy even after the probation. It's been extremely important and valuable to me."
