He had an addiction to cocaine in the late '70s to early '80s. It was his friend, John Belushi dying and the birth of his son that made him quit. I think that was a very smart thing to do. A good thing too. He didn't want to end up like John and he didn't want his son having a coke addicted father so he got help :)
@stalzz i had 17 yrs and went out the night of my sons funeral with only one thing on the TO DO list that night , but i dragged my grimey hung over(probably still would have blown above the limit) ass to the 10;30 am meeting ihad really been taaking my sobriety for granted probably was kinda cocky too. i owed it to the memory of my son to work a successful program one day at a time youre commet was dead on RELAPSE CAN HAPPEN IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. but there are no accidently SLIPS
yea robin went to rehab for a drinking problem. he was sober for a long long time but it just popped up again i guess. he did do drugs though. the story behind that is he went to john belushi's house (mind you this was in late 70's or early 80's i dont really remember) and they started to do some drugs. That night however John belushi died of a drug overdose and the next morning robin swore to never do drugs again.

Robin is very liberal so the liber media and Hollywood will rave about how 'courageous' he is. But Rush Limbaugh was a drug addict after getting addicted to meds after back surgery.
this has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative. The reason that Rush Limbaugh doesnt recieve the respect that Robin williams does has nothing to do with policital views. Its the fact that Robin treats people with common human kindness. Limbaugh doesnt.
you know he was an alci way back when in the 90's. I think he snorted aswell. Gotta respect him for getting thru it all. He is awsum! loved him ever since i was little and i watched aladdin. Stil think aladdin is awsum cause of the genie :D
he was an drunk waaay before the 90's, and he did blow too, and prob a few other things too, his first rehab stint was in the late 70's? not exactly sure....watch his performance at the Met for a better explanation...and if you wanna watch something equally funny, Richard Prior talking about setting himself on fire with a crack pipe.....
I did a little search and found out that he "reportedly" did it a few times with John Belushi before he died of obvious reasons.... I couldn't find anything in the search time that i did about him going to rehab over it.
whats cool is his rehab was in my town (newberg oregon). i never spoke to him but i saw him a few times and my mom helped him when he got his prescriptions
Sub Consciouly I'm detecting a hint of sarcastic rage within your last comment. Let me say then, in lieu of the more standard apology, that my response was merely a joke. Any offense was not intended. Although given the tone of your previous comment it's apparent that "offense" was inadvertently given out. So with that let me say that I'm doing very well. I am a fucker; however I'm not hilarious.
wow, i never expected such a response from you, i'm sorry if my last comment was a bit harsh, i was beaten as a child and raped as an adult, i just can't express my thoughts without offending everybody, but that's ok, alot of people are funny fuckers, and i'm sticking to it
As well you should. Without our own originality, we have nothing. There is a very great freedom that comes inherent with creative expressionism. A kind of peace that only through originality and expression we can see. I'm not a fighter; all I want is peace. Take care.
I have viewed many posted videos on this YouTube website. Many times I find spiteful and hateful things being unnecessarily spewed from the keyboards of lonely teenage boys trying to compensate for being shoved in lockers by jocks, both you and alanaldasucks have given me new hope for mankind. I wish there were more like you guys out perusing the web.
Peace be with you.
Fuck Yeah.
Start a fucking revolution you two. I would happily join.
Robin is gay, that's why he drinks. Drinking is another from of denaial. Denial of what? Just remember, drinking is always the effect, never the cause. Cause-effect. A natural law that humans think they can undo. He he.

The man is a freak, but thank God we have a prolific movie industry willing to bring his madness to us in the form of easy to swallow comedic tirades. He's just too much, that man. Even in this confessional booth style glossed-up hollywwod piece of filth he is completely over the top instead of trying to play the solemn goody two shoes. A true original. I sincerely hope he finds a good substitute for drinking to calm thatobesessive-compulsive brain of his.
At least he had the good sense to take care of the problem head-on, instead of embarrassing his family by getting a DUI and launching into an anti-Semitic tirade, unlike some people, who shall remain nameless.

That's why recovery from substance abuse is truly one day at a time. 20 years and then relapse is not that uncommon. It can happen.

@stalzz 20 yrs followed by relapse is too many yrs and not enough days.
I don't like his humor, too manic for me . He still acts very immature.
