Where can I hear about Colin Quinn saving Artie Lange's life?

I heard somewhere on this sub that Colin physically moved Artie choking in bleach and moved him to the hospital. Where can I hear more about this?

Artie's latest book.

I don't know about the bleach stuff, but on Artie's podcast he talked about being really down and suicidal and Colin showed up with a couple Irish not so good people, and they made him leave town with Quinn to get away for a while.

link?

Sorry, I don't know what podcast it was. I just remember him bringing it up while listening to it before.

Colin took him to rehab, not the hospital. Artie's mom found him after the suicide attempt not Colin. I think he talks about it in the Rolling Stone interview which is on their site. He talks about in his book too and I believe it's briefly brought up on Ants show.

From Wikipedia :

In April 2011, Lange was taken to a detox facility in New Jersey by Colin Quinn and "two huge Irish guys". He wrote, "This wasn't an intervention, it was an ultimatum. Actually it was an abduction, which was exactly what I needed ... they dragged me, literally kicking and screaming". After three weeks, Lange transferred to Ambrosia Treatment Center, a rehabilitation facility in Florida, for two and a half months.
