"about a month" sounds committed.

30 day inpatient facilities usually don't do much.. when you've been an alcoholic for the better part of the last 3 decades, 30 days isn't quite long enough to un-do all that shit. he needs long term care, 2 -3 months minimum

Yea, but I think he'd rather die a shriveled yellow skeleton than give up his precious Bud Light. Understandable, it is a great beer...

Dude all rehabs do is push the 12 steps that Ant will never buy. The best part of all this is we'll get to see his relapse.

"that Ant will never buy" yes but if they gave the ginny more time to sit and think he might actually realize the downward spiral he is in.. 30 days aint shit.. jim said it best, jail is where you fuckign sit and think.. rehab can be too, but rehab really keeps you busy.. 30 days wont do shit for him.

I'm putting my shitty sarcasm aside for this one, just calling it how I see it

The only reason he's going is to avoid a conviction that would take his guns away & prevent him feeling like dirty harry cocealed carrying in NYC.

It's not really about him giving up alcohol, he'll be plastered again when he knows legal proceedings are all over.

Which is what I find the most bizzarre about this. It's obvious he's doing this to look good in court and thats ok. Why would he make it this big public announcement only to embrasss himself in front of all his old friends that were trying to help him. He should have told them that in the first place then just made up some excuse not to do TACS. its very possible no one would have noticed anyway.

I think in the O&A days he was just a heavy drinker. Being fired and being on his own schedule has taken him to alcoholic level.

Definitely

He hasn't been committed yet but he will this Saturday! Give me those ribs!

He hinted possibly longer, 60 days.

It's better than the 24 hours Jon Jones served after his impaired driving incident in which he rammed into a pregnant woman's car and broke her arm.

They tried to make him go to rehab he said.

OooHHH OHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH

That's a Dice joke. Hopefully the last.

It's been 30 days since I've had a drop of BANANA JUICE! A-GUZZZSH!

Never fear, this will only be a small speed bump on his road to cirrohisis.

Good for Ant. I hope he dries out at least until he can figure out if the alcohol is the problem or if he's just a naturally self destructive asshole.

I think he's just an asshole, the boozing makes him self-destructive.

Let's hope they have karaoke and a pool so Ant doesn't get too homesick.

He can dazzle all the twenty year olds with his spot-on Layne Staley.

I hope his observed drug screens are administered by a black man and hes so anxious and paranoid he cant get anything to dribble out

Thoughts and Prayers

Thoughts and Prayers, Syracuse is the first ever 10-seed to make it to the Final Four, you hear about this story, amazing group of...

Is this voluntary, court ordered, plea bargain or what..? maybe he's about to say, but I'm not familiar with your system... (UK here..)

So far he didn't say if it was a court order or not but even if it was, his lawyer probably advised him not to discuss any of the details. He'll most likely never confirm it either way.

Thanks...so is he likely to be free of the charges by doing this,is that how it goes..?

Keith just interrupted to show to chime in to tell that this was in fact Ant's choice, not a court order.

Charges? What happened?

Going to rehab doesn't change the fact he beat a child. They can't drop the charges but his punishment will probably get minimized.

Going to rehab doesn't change the fact he beat a child.

I don't think that fact has been sufficiently established.

"beat a child". What a drama queen.

His gf was being a cunt, they were drunk and he bitch slapped her. Not exactly unheard of. "beating a child" is beyond overly dramatic.

You're acting like the girl was this wholesome, innocent vessel from 1925. They don't make girls like that anymore. Most of them these days are manipulative button pushers looking for a payday. What happened is exactly what she was trying to make happen.

Nice use of drama queen you valley girl faggot.

so grody

Way to minimize a broken hand and rib.

I like how he's "being dramatic" while you downplay hitting a girl as "not exactly unheard of."

No, it is. Most people don't end up ever hitting their girlfriend, dummy.

He said it was his decision and absolutely not court ordered. No idea if that's the truth or not though.

Probably got told by the lawyer that it wasn't looking good for him but if he went to rehab they could work out a plea bargain. It can't have escaped the notice of the courts that Anthony was drinking/drunk the night of the incident and since then he has been shown drinking on Vine and on his show. So he hasn't shown any sign of taking things seriously. Lawyer probably knew shit was going to go bad for him so he got him to voluntarily enter rehab. Not a coincidence the announcement comes the day before his next court appearance. Contrite Anthony goes to court and lawyer man announces that his client has voluntarily agreed to go to rehab.

Bingo, Ant will be back home drinking away his sorrows after he gets his charges reduced for being a good boy and seeking treatment. He'll still probably lose his guns which will probably lead him to drinking and playing with more Tranny cock.

That Time Square Black hooker really did a number on him, poor fella

Yep he still might go to jail

Drinking rehab or Twitter rehab?

Is this how he worms his way back onto Sirius? Apologizes and says it was the alcohol not him saying those things.

I think this'll be good for Ant. He definitely needed a change of scenery.

I don't trust any addict to do what they say they're going to do. It'll have to be a year or more of actual rehab, therapy, and no drinking before I think he's changed at all. I don't see it happening.

Wouldn't it be funny if this was actually Vos?

I hope Ant is going to an upscale joint.

I spoke to my ex-girlfriend who is a psychologist at private (but, not upscale) facility outside of Houston. She said people who have had good careers and were generally successful get really depressed at the sight of people who lost everything. They'll leave quickly. She said it's terrifying to get thrown in with people who have missing teeth because of meth and with 20-somethings who have destroyed their life before it even it started. She also said the relapse patients and the younger patients tend to be unable relate to successful people so they get shut out.

Breaking news 3 days ago

I just lost respect for him and most likely wont re-up my sub

"When he karate-kicked his girlfriend I almost lost respect, but now that he's going to rehab, that's it."

karate-kicked

Hahaha.

The funny thing is imagining that Anthony could actually do a karate-kick without throwing his back out or breaking an ankle.

Exactly.

I think I'm bleedin' inside my chest, charlie murphy.

Unity!!!!

This? This is what did it for you? Did you just wake up from a coma?
