Artie lange checks into rehab

Often described as the Howard stern shows funny man, Artie Lange has reportedly checked himself into rehab. The news aired after canceling the Comedy Central Bob Saget roast, and canceling other appearances scheduled for later this week. One of the appearances was for bob Levey’s comedy club in Levittown PA this weekend.

Artie has suffered from heroin addiction in the past and never really dealt with it properly. During the shooting of Beer League, Artie stopped doing heroin cold turkey, and started taking subutex to deal with the addictive cravings. This got Artie off heroin, bit never went through any proper treatment to deal with the addiction.

Upon the return from his Afganistan USO show, he brought up the fact he had been talking to Dana hes ex-girlfriend, but that she wouldn’t think about getting back together with him until he properly dealt with the addiction.

Artie also mentioned another girl in his life lately. And along the same lines he mentioned that Gary had given him some good advice while in Afganistan.
I think Artie finally realized that if he wants a somewhat regular life he needs to treat the addiction before going forward.

Hopefully artie is able to complete the steps necessary to deal with his problem, and get his life in order.

And everyone knows its going to be superb radio when they get back from break.
