Fasting was KEY to Limbaugh's victory over pill addiction

I can remember driving down the road a few years ago listening to famed talk show host Rush Limbaugh describe the events which led to an addiction to pain killers. It was at the end of his regular three hour broadcast. When the show was over, we were told, he was immediately heading to an unnamed clinic where he would be secluded and treated for five weeks. That, we can only assume, is exactly what he did. No one, outside of a select few, saw or heard anything from him for a full five weeks. Guest hosts filled in on the show every day. He was treated by persons specializing in addictive behaviors and when the time was over and the drugs were purged out of his system, he came back to the airwaves a conquering hero. I listened intently as he described the process by which he found freedom. While I do not completely discount the psychological treatment he received, I do not believe it was the ultimate factor which brought about his freedom. He could have received such treatment at home. His financial means would have allowed for that. I believe he, and the specialists, recognized that the severity of the addiction demanded and overwhelming response. He fasted from the luxuries of home and the environment which enabled the addiction. The fast, along with the personal conviction he had and the prayers of people which must have numbered in the millions, was ultimately responsible for the victory. Well done, Rush.
