Martin Sheen - Sheen Was Fanatical About Getting Charlie Clean
MARTIN SHEEN was so determined to make sure his son CHARLIE kicked his drug habit - he became "fanatical" about getting him help.
Sheen's actor son was hospitalised in 1998 for a drug overdose and has endured a long-running battle with his addictions.
The West Wing star is a recovering alcoholic and admits he was so troubled when he found out about Charlie's problems he became fixated on helping him sort his life out.
And Sheen's first step was to report the 42-year-old to the police in a bid to get him into a rehabilitation programme.
He says, "When a life is at stake and it's your child, you become fearless in a lot of ways. I mean, you just become fanatic. Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.
"The only way I got to Charlie, frankly, was because he'd skipped out of the hospital. I had to pay the bill.
"He'd consumed an illegal substance; he was on probation. This was a criminal matter. And so that was the wedge; that was the leverage I had. That is what I took to the court; that's what I took to the sheriff. It was the only way I got him."
