Dr Drews 'production' team was buying drinks for the patients

on Celebrity Rehab according to a new book by Celebrity Rehab alumni Penny Flame in hopes for a dramatic relapse.

I stand by my comments of Drew 'dr death' Pinsky kills his patients. This man is sick and belongs in jail rather than being given credibility as an alleged addiction expert.

It’s true that reality television cannot get by on peace and harmony. With an eye toward making some riveting TV ourselves, Dennis, Mike, and I decided to go out to a club and create a tense scene that would leave the impression we were going to relapse. I figured that, as cocktail waitresses passed by, we’d give them some pensive, unsure looks. And then, even though we were never really in danger of relapsing, the commercial for the show could tease the episode by making it appear that we’d had a truly difficult time maintaining our sobriety.

Dr. Drew had no idea of our plot, nor did Production. I was totally surprised when girls began walking over to us with free vodka Red Bulls. Dennis was not impressed.

“They’re going to have to do way better than that to tempt me to drink,” he said. “Look, it’s all Production buying the drinks.”

It seemed like it must be true. Toward the end of the night, we confronted the production crew about whether they’d tried to derail our sober evening, but nobody admitted to sending the cocktail girls our way.

On another night, we left Sober House as a group, packed into a giant white van for an evening at Pimai It’s Tai. On the way down the hill, Seth (Shifty Shellshock) Binzer, frontman of the rap band Crazy Town who had been treated multiple times on Dr. Drew shows for his crack problem, said something that made me nervous.

“I’m good this time, I think,” he said. “I’m gonna follow the rules.”

“It’s okay to break the rules,” Gia, one of the field producers, said.

“You mean you’re not,” I said to Seth.

"It seemed like it must be true. Toward the end of the night, we confronted the production crew about whether they’d tried to derail our sober evening, but nobody admitted to sending the cocktail girls our way."

It seemed like it must be true? Nobody admitted sending the waitresses to the people in question? This is corroboration? It does not say with any certainty that the production crew incited anyone to drink. Weak, man.

Anyway, I thought your deal was that AA kills people, not that Dr. Drew kills people. In either case, wrong again, pal.

As usual, contempt before investigation if it has anything to do with the DENIAL that the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous its members are anything but "sacred servants" in memory of the adulterous Bill Wilson.

When we returned to the house, Gia resumed her “It didn’t happen” stance and I called Bruce, the head producer. I was so upset that after I told him what had happened, our conversation blurred into anger and tears on my part until Bruce agreed to keep Gia away from me. I crawled helplessly into my bed and pulled the sheets over my head. It was pathetic that she needed to drink, pathetic that I felt I couldn’t be near her and be safe.

The next day in therapy with Drew, I angrily laid into him about Gia’s bad behavior.

“Why is Production allowed to ruin our progress?” I said. “I wanted to be in a sober house, Dr. Drew. Not this f------ mess where the crew is allowed to violate everything that I work to maintain.”

Drew nodded and kept composed, although it was clear to me that he was not pleased with the story I had told him about Gia’s behavior.

"Three friends always wanted to play golf on a Saturday afternoon, but it was made almost impossible by the demands of their wives.

One day, after many failed attempts, they finally got together on the golf course and were waiting at the first tee when the first friend said, "I had to buy my wife a diamond necklace to get to play today!!!"

The second followed, "That's nothing, I had to buy MY wife a new sports car to get out here today!!!"

The third said, "Boy you guys are a couple of wimps; I didn't have to buy my wife anything at all!!!"

The others just looked at him in amazement, and asked how he managed that!

The smartest of the three said, "It was easy, when I got up this morning I looked her straight in the eye and asked, "Golf course or Intercourse?"

She threw me a sweater and said, "Take this, it might get chilly out there!""

Who's keeping score?
OPF AA haters are obsessed with schadenfreude. That's who's keeping score.

I watched one season of this garbage and became immediately disgusted. Dr. Drew has got to be the poster child for exploiting clients for personal financial gain. Not that these attention whores don't deserve it, but you would hope a professional would have enough ethics to understand that he is putting what should be a private and personal matter up for exhibition on national TV.
But I am sure just like AA, he convinces himself that sharing personal matters with strangers is "helping people".
Dr. Drew is a 12-step quack who has done very well for himself. At the expense of washed-up, drug addicted attention whores.

If you "became immediately disgusted", why were you compelled to watch "one season of this garbage"? A season offers multiple shows for your viewing enjoyment, msafrany. Were you a victim? Couldn't you find the personal strength to turn the t.v. off and take your disgust outside? Maybe you were powerless over Dr. Drew. Maybe your life became unmanageable as a result.

Have you been lying about volleyball?

You seem to be obsessed with sex alkieanon, as the majority of your posts portray. It it a "learned" trait of Bill Wilson, or were you born that way? Stay out of 12 Step meetings, you have a two track mind, sex and Bill Wilson chanting.

And leave the flies alone already.

JR Harris is "obsessed with sex". Other people's, that is.

Not getting enough? LOL!

Typical narcissistic comment from an AA member. Does chanting Bill Wilson in church basements in weird ritual ceremonies really cause you to act like this?

Careful, your superior IQ and mentality is showing...... LOL!

No, JR, this is not narcissism. This is your truth being told by Alkie. The least you could do is be grateful he cares enough to help you.

I don't think so, more like fluff from a narcissistic AA member trying to harass people that have escaped from the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous.

How is that a "narcissistic comment", JR Harris? It's about you, not about alkieanon. That's the trouble with the nomenclature. It assumes a slang status and becomes ever after nothing but ill-informed patois, misunderstood and overused jargon that describes nothing.

with the exception of the AA apologists, would be very interesting in rehab as I think few if any of us drink or drug.

I would also think those on the list who do use drugs or alcohol prolly do not do so in abusive quantities.
