not real time. Daniels wife recently had her baby and on the show he said she was "2"? or "4" months pregnant.

He said she was 4 months preggers on the show. I don't really care what reason he's gone, I'm just glad he's gone and can't effect someone else's chances for recovery. And I don't have to watch him.

It's odd that they reported that in the Daily Dish like it was a recent thing. Must've been a slow celeb news day. I guess there's not much going on with Britney in the hospital.

I agree that Daniel is exhibiting addict behavior, it is the part of the behavior where they think they are smarter than everyone else and can fool others. It is the same thing that caused him to pretend he was a counselor rather than a patient on the show. It is the part where they look inthe mirror and see what they want, not what is there. I agree, someone must have told him this would be a great chance for him to help others and look brilliant, but it was too intense for him to to have to face facts, so he left. You don't have to take something every day to be an addict, there are periodics.

I think they played this show close to the vest and that is why this information did not make public until shown on TV.

All that being said, they must have had the lawyers going over what happened and the contracts signed to make sure there could be no lawsuit from Daniel. While it is not good for him, it is actually good for people who are addicts to see how everything eventually comes out in the wash.

Jeff Conway at The Ivy.
He seems sober even though he's wrapped in body braces.

Looks like Jeff is still with his girlfriend. I wonder if she's clean now too. Seems as though they've been showing her as a big enabler on the show so far.

I can't believe Jeff's girlfriend brought alcohol into the rehab! I was glad to see Jeff dump it and call her out on it. Looks like the previews for next week show her trying to blame it on Jeff for her bringing it in. I really don't think Vicki wants to see Jeff get better.

I think Jeff needs to dump her ASAP.

Enablers and family often don't really want the person in treatment to get better.. so often pulling out that person from the structure causes a collapse of the family which is built around the addict. They all need to work on the issues or the addict needs to shed those who won't.

Because the enablers recognize that when an addict gets well there is a good chance they will not need them anymore

I don't like where next week is going, it makes it sound like they are blaming Jeff for asking her to bring it in. Yes he should not do it, but he is sick, the fact that she would do it is what is really the culprit IMO

Vikki is the girl Jeff picked out to enable him. She may or may not realize how much he needs to be sober, but if she insisted on it, she would have been gone and you would not see her.

I don't know if she is still an enabler or not, but that is why it is so important for the family/close friend to recieve therapy as well. Everyone has to change. I don't think Jeff has any family he likes, so she is his only back up.

Wow, you guys really seem to know what you're talking about. Must be some family experience there. I was shocked (but not) that Vicki would bring alcohol into the unit. If she can't go a few hours without a drink--long enough to visit him--then she should be in rehab right alongside him. I agree that she really doesn't want him to get well, cause then he won't "need" her to take care of him. Sad.

I still feel sorry for Daniel. As despicable as his behavior was, Mary was still a party to it, and [can't remember the tattooed athlete's name?] was right to call her on it. It's time to own your actions and stop being a "victim." I loved seeing Mary dance. She was really good. I never would've pictured her as a ballerina! I hope she keeps dancing.

I think Daniel has real problems. And...I am glad someone (Chyna?) pointed out to Mary that she is not a girl. She is a 27 year old woman and she had a part in this too.

I was surprised Mary is that old. She acts like a teen.

I'm not judging. I feel bad for all of them, they all have issues.

I don't feel sorry for Daniel. He knew what he was doing and she did too. I think it's really on both of them.

I agree, Mamie. There will always be men out there who want to take advantage of a woman, so Mary needs to learn how not to allow that to happen, and to take responsibility for it when it does. You can only control your own actions, you can't control others.

Well, I do feel sorry for Daniel, because he's really sick. I agree with Dr. Drew that Daniel may have wanted to get out of there so he could use again. He's not done with that life yet. I also feel sorry for his wife and baby, as well as the rest of his family.

I'm surprised that Mary is only 27. I thought she was a lot older (shows how that lifestyle can affect you). She acts young because addiction arrests development. Hopefully she can get sober and finish growing up.

I hope Chynna realizes that she belongs there, too. She and Briggitte sure put away the alcohol on Surreal Life. That seemed to show an addiction right there. She's still in denial.

People Magazine has the followup on each of them but it isn't on the website that I can find.

Brigitte Nielsen, 44

In For: Alcohol. "I'm the kind of person who way overdoes everything," says the mother of four sons, ages 12 to 23, who turned to the bottle as her 13-year marriage failed. She married again in 2006.

How She's Doing: Sober for six months, she says she also quit smoking last September. Next goal? "A great body again!"

Jeff Conaway, 57 (Still battling)

In For: Alcohol, cocaine (started at 17) and prescription pain meds started when he suffered a back injury while filming 1978's Grease.

How He's Doing After recent back surgery, he's still struggling with addiction. "I've been depressed all my life," he told People in 2006. Says Pinsky: "He's a complicated case, but not hopeless."

Ricco Rodriguez, 30

In For: Cocaine and alcohol. The former Ultimate Fighting champ could lose his son Paul, 2, to foster care if he doesn't end his spiral of abuse.

How He's Doing: Still with Carmen, his girlfriend and Paul's mother, he's sober and takes regular drug tests. Doing the show, he says, "in some crazy way saved our family."

Jaimee Foxworth, 28(first time in rehab)

In For: Marijuana. The Family Matters child star had been smoking pot steadily since age 16 and turned to pornography to pay for her habit.

How She's Doing: Sober, she says, "My outlook is totally different. People don't understand that marijuana can be so addictive. It doesn't matter what type of addiction you have. It all hits us the same."

Mary Carey, 27

In For: A whole-life makeover. The adult-film star said she wanted to quit booze, Xanax and even porn.

How She's Doing" She recently performed at a gentlemen's club, and "I'm still struggling with drinking," Carey says. "But I used to drink a bottle of vodka a night, and I haven't touched that. Drew is helping, one day at a time."

Daniel Baldwin, 47 (Quit the show)

In For: Upkeep. A cocaine addict off and on for 18 years, Baldwin was in a sober-living facility before the show.

How He's Doing: The new dad - to Avis Ann, born Jan. 17 - claimed other patients were "trying to sensationalize" for the cameras. Baldwin quit but says he remains sober. "I hope the best for everyone," he says.

Joanie Laurer, A.K.A Chyna, 38

In For: The former pro wrestler - known for her drunken antics on The Surreal Life - says she used alcohol to aks "emotional issues. I led my life like it was a three-ring circus."

How She's Doing: She drinks wine occasionally, but the show helped: "I'm leading the life that I should have led years ago."

Jessica Sierra, 22 (In rehab again)

In For: In April 2007 the American Idol alum was arrested for battery and possession of cocaine.

How She's Doing: After a Dec. 1 arrest for disorderly intoxication (and a court order to stay 100 feet from cameras), she is back under Pinsky's care. "She needs long-term treatment," Pinsky says. "She's ready for it. She's doing great."

Seth "Shifty" Binzer, 33

In For: Cocaine and painkillers. The lead singer of the band Crazy Town hit a low after his wife, Melissa, and their son Halo, 5, moved out.

How He's Doing: Now in a sober-living facility in Beverly Hills, he says, "I didn't do it to get on TV. I was facing death if I kept at it. I want to stay sober."

In the accompanying article it notes that they were paid to be on the show.
