Em opened up about his drug use in the new issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. He stated he was on the same insomniac drug hell as Michael Jackson. Read the below for his quotes from the mag.
"I was taking so many pills that I wasn't even taking them to get high anymore. I was taking them to get normal.
... I want to say in a day I could consume anywhere from 40 to 60 Valium. And Vicodin? Maybe 20, 30.
"My everyday regimen would be, wake up in the morning and take an extra strength Vicodin. ... and it'd be Vicodin throughout the day. Than, as the evening crept up. ... I'd start with a Valium or two, or three, or four. And every hour on the hour, I'd pop four or five more. The Ambien would put me over the top to go to sleep."
"Toward the end, I don't think the s--- (drugs) would put me to sleep for more than two hours. It's very similar to what I've read about Michael. I don't know exactly what he was doing, but I read that he kept getting up in the middle of the night, asking for more (drugs). That's what I was doing."
He told the magazine toward the end that a couple Christmas overdose dramas helped him to seek the help he needed.
Everyone has their own demons and I am glad to see that Em is fighting his.
Stay Fab!
