Which may not be a surprise for some, Artie revealed this morning that he has been back on Heroin for the last few months.  He started the Stern shows first hour and a half with a very sad account of what went on last week and why he missed the Bob Sagat Roast scheduled to air on Comedy Central later this week.  We all hope he can battle his latest demons and he gets all the help and support he needs.  Of course with out hesitation Sal and Richard unveiled there parody song based on Amy Whinehouse Rehab song, Artie’s going back to Rehab.  I will post it shortly so you can have a listen.  Here is a good recall of how the addiction began again from Save Baby Gorilla.

About 7 weeks ago Artie started hanging out with the old crowd, playing as an alternate in a pool league.  As Artie explains his background in billiards, we learn of yet another unheard tale of young Artie. Turns out, Artie was some kind of small time con man hustling a “room full of shitheads…complete losers” [students] in games of 9-ball like New Jersey Fats or something.

So Artie returned to the pool hall, skipped his subutex and started drinking. At the end of the night Artie was really drunk entering the “danger-zone”. He runs into some guy that offers Artie some heroin and Artie buys a couple of $40 bags. Fast forward to next morning Artie woke up the next day almost suicidal feeling guilty. He continues to party for a few days at home with lady H and three days before going to Afghanistan he forces himself to stop. He starts taking subutex again and returns to a quasi normal routine.

8 hours after returning from Afghanistan, happy from a successful USO tour, Artie rewards himself with more heroin. Enter the much talked about homecoming party at house where he previously claimed he was in the shower instead of entertaining guests. Artie wasn’t in the shower but was upstairs with some friends doing heroin.
