you were earning squillions, you had the fast cars and the beautiful women.hile, it must be fun, despite everything else. >> absolutely. i would be a fool to tell you i wasn't having a good time. >> i talk to people going through this and it was terrible. no, it wasn't. if it was that bad, you wouldn't be doing it. >> cocaine was too much for me. brought me to my knees eventually. honestly that's what happened. >> what was the wake-up moment for you? >> there were several along the way. where i'd sit there and say, you got to stop. this has got to stop. but it's hard to do that with cocaine. it's really -- it's insidious and it's wonderful, that's the problem. >> how did you manage to stop in the end? >> actually, i did go to betty ford and that helped. and the best thing that they said, actually, was how's it been working for you? that's what i thought. and then they said, well, you spend a month here and maybe you'll figure a way to do things a little differently. honestly that was the turning point in terms of me being able to take charge of my life again.
