DRUG ADDICTED STARS: IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Drug Addicted Stars Speak

Don’t just take our word for the gravity of Hollywood’s drug epidemic – several top stars have opened up exclusively to The National ENQUIRER about their struggle with addiction.

“I almost died,” said actor Charlie Sheen of “Two and a Half Men” fame. “There’s no question in my mind that I came very, very close to death from drugs and alcohol. Not just once, but a few times.”

But, he added: “The only thing I didn’t do was shoot heroin.”

Former “Partridge Family” child star Danny Bonaduce also revealed: “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said I was clean and sober, and fallen off the wagon the next day or the next week.” Danny said he got clean for good after The ENQUIRER bailed him out of jail when he was busted in Los Angeles. “I had hit rock bottom,” he said. “You guys rescued me.”

Before dying of a heart attack at age 51 in 2013, “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini confessed – in the pages of The ENQUIRER – that he’d been in a day-to-day struggle to keep clean after a cocaine and booze nightmare.

“When I was 20 or 18 it started,” he divulged. “And it progressed through the years.”

Sadly, while James got sober, his years of substance abuse contributed to the poor health that led to his early death.
