Wow, this place is GREAT! I have shopped my “Knight Rider Reunion” script to four producers who are also here for alcohol addiction and they all promised to read it. I have not made so many great contacts since, well, since ever.
Left three messages on William Daniels’ voicemail. He is going to be SO STOKED!
Ran into Helga in the hallway this afternoon and she was so excited she could only speak German. I don’t know any German, but I did record a KICKASS version of “Feliz Navidad” for my Xmas album. I sang her a few bars and that calmed her long enough so I could bolt for my room. I love my fans, really I do, but they can be such a trial sometimes.
You may wonder what a fit and together guy like myself is doing here at the Betty Ford Center. Well, he (crossed out) I realized his (crossed out) my social drinking had increased more than he (crossed out) I was comfortable with and he (crossed out) I decided to do something about it.
I’m feeling stronger already. There’s a great vibe here. I was in the cafeteria at breakfast today and all the kitchen staff came and asked for my autograph! Who knew there were so many German immigrants in Rancho Mirage??
After breakfast there was quite a bit of excitement. I was taking my meditation walk around the lake and Helga the sous-chef seemed to have gotten swept into the lake somehow. She surely would have been caught in some kind of lake undertow if I hadn’t jumped in to save her. This feeling of importance and purpose is what’s gonna help me through these dark days, I just know it.
