He hasn't hit bottom. Nowhere near. He still has The Ford Nation. As long as he thinks there are people who support him, he will never take getting help seriously. I know his kind. He's laughing at everyone somewhere.
Probably not, but it's not our job to push him over. And his chance at being Mayor again is slim and none.
Someone like that doesn't get pushed over, he alienates every last one of his supporters, friends and family...and only when he finally sees that, he realizes he's hit bottom all on his own.
Maybe if everyone just took a couple of months off focusing on Rob Ford and got on with other aspects of their lives, things just might work out in the long run. I think the idea of rehab is to get people away from other distractions for awhile so they can focus on their health. I'm sure the last thing he needs right now is umteem low life reporters snooping around.
Yet more fun 'n games & drunk driving !!!
Rob Ford Rehab Confirmed Amid Damning Toronto Star Story
It’s confirmed: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is in rehab and the facility is somewhere in North America, according to CBC News.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a doctor told the broadcaster that Ford was admitted May 1 and taken to hospital two days later and remained there for four days. He returned to the rehab centre for treatment on May 7.
“I have every assurance and confidence he was nowhere else,” the doctor told CBC on Friday. Due to concerns over privacy, the name and location of the treatment facility remain unknown.
The news comes days after questions about Ford's whereabouts were raised when it was revealed he did not enter the U.S. last week.
Earlier in the day, Coun. Doug Ford promised he would produce “proof” his brother, the mayor, was in rehab. The councillor had told reporters he was working on an official statement, but it never came.
Instead, Ford opted to speak to the CBC exclusively on Friday evening, saying he wanted to “stop the speculation to let the people of Toronto know that Rob is taking this seriously, is getting treatment and that he wants to continue coming back and serving the people.”
However, the confirmation that Ford is indeed seeking help for substance abuse was eclipsed by a new audio tape acquired by The Toronto Star of the mayor caught in a racist rant and bragging about having sex with “girls” in front of his wife.
Ford reportedly also offered guests a chance to have sex with his wife, Renata.
According to reporter Kevin Donovan, the mayor was reportedly driving drunk with high school friend Bruno Bellissimo in the passenger’s seat on the night of March 5, two days after he appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
“Nobody sticks up for people like I do, every f---ing k--e, n----r, f---ing w-p, d-go, whatever the race. Nobody does,” Ford said about Jews, blacks and Italians, according to the paper.
“I’m the most racist guy around. I’m the mayor of Toronto.”
At one point during the drive, Ford reportedly spoke to his lawyer Dennis Morris, who warned the mayor police may be tailing his car.
In an interview with The Canadian Press on Friday, Morris did not comment on the Star story, only saying he did not recall if Ford was drunk and driving during their conversation.
"I don't recollect his ever driving, I was thinking 'don't be driving," he said.
"I was under the impression he was...not sure if it was parked or shopping plaza and he was making phone calls and I think I mentioned 'shouldn't be driving if you're under the influence.'"

Me thinks thou doth offereth too much info. It seems to me that if I were really serious and sincere about getting my "sick" brother the help he needs, I would tell reporters to ?*&% off or even say nothing and not feel the need to prove anything to anyone. I believe the Fords' narcissism will win over any REAL attempt to deal with their problems. Doug is even worse for riding his brother's infamy.
agreed, they don't want the attention to diminish, it would not help their purpose, (whatever that is) the fact that they allowed CBC to speak to a doctor at the treatment centre is mind-blowing...
his defenders will say that this is to stifle talk about him actually being in a facility...if you think about that for longer than the nanosecond that it takes to arrive at okay, one then realizes that there are very few people that one would doubt about going into a treatment centre...thus it speaks for itself...
Now that we know he's in treatment, everyone should shut up about him! He's likely to win the next election on the sympathy vote!
So what is Rob Ford really up to because I seriously doubt it has anything to do with treating his actual addiction issues.
First off it wasn't a crisis with his alcohol abuse issues that sent him running for "treatment", it was getting caught on video once again in the presence of crack cocaine dealers smoking crack. And considering the almost complete lack of credibility established by the Ford brothers themselves we have no way of knowing how often Rob Ford smokes crack, we just have the ongoing spectacle of a man clearly out of control wandering across Canada being repeatedly caught on video obviously under the influence of something. Maybe it's Ford's crack use that then causes him to binge on alcohol and possibly become violent as some have reported.
What should be obvious is that if someone is serious about treatment for serious substance addiction they focus almost entirely on that, and even that often isn't enough. Even if Ford was genuinely in treatment there's still no guarantee that he'll recover, many addicts don't.
And as the latest "crisis" was kicked off by his crack use I seriously doubt that being treated for alcoholism is going to help Ford much. If he's in denial about his addiction then there is no way to treat it.
I also think that someone who was serious about addiction treatment wouldn't be doing press interviews and talking about how wonderful the experience was, that's something a politician does to create the proper image for the public.
If Rob Ford really is serious about getting off of booze, pot, crack and whatever else he's doing then he needs to do several things.
1. Resign as mayor for his and the benefit of the citizens of Toronto. There's no way he's in any position to run anything if he's half out of his mind part of the time. It also sends a terrible message about appropriate behaviour to youth and makes the entire country look foolish having someone with such a high profile behaving in such an irresponsible manner.
2. Drop out of the Mayoral race, recovering from serious addiction doesn't happen overnight and if Ford is serious about overcoming his addictions then he's in no place to devote the kind of resources that running a metropolis demands. If he wants to show voters that he's a serious candidate for high office then he needs to make the kind of changes that a mature and responsible adult would make, not a tweaker.
3. Actually admit to his real problems, addicts lie and Rob Ford blaming his crack use on alcohol is a lie.

You seem upset

Not any longer actually, I think things are looking up for Toronto, Canada and hopefully Ford.
On the other hand your responses just seem insane to me.
I also think that people who enable Rob Ford's addiction like his brother Doug who has consistently lied and probably continues to do so to keep his brother in a state of public and personal denial are placing Rob Ford's life in danger.

And even with effective treatment the recovery rate isn't that great.
People have been treating this as a joke, largely encouraged by the Ford's themselves who have turned the entire situation into a game, but the stakes are very serious. I don't like seeing Rob Ford using Toronto specifically and Canada in general as part of his coping mechanism for his drug and likely untreated psychological issues, but I don't want to the see the man die from his addiction either.
I think his "friends" that are enabling his clearly self-destructive behaviour really couldn't give a damn about what's happening to him. Especially if they're helping him get access to drugs and allowing him to stay in a state of denial.
Rob Ford doesn't just need treatment for alcohol addiction, he needs treatment for serious drug addiction and possibly psychological counseling when you look at some of the violent or borderline(or outright) criminal behaviour he's been involved in. As well as the sexually inappropriate comments and actions that would see most other people charged with sexual assault or lessor charges.
Yah, I'm pretty sure that substance abuse is just the tip of the iceberg with Rob Ford.
Rob Ford: One wild night in March | Toronto Star
The sooner this guy is out of office and hopefully getting some real help the better off we'll all be, including Ford himself.
Bob Ford is a prime example of happens when a single cell mind implodes
who could take the guy seriously? He is a disgrace and a disappointment
Look at all the people in the picture, there is a group of civilized people and
on the end is the left overs from mind scrap called ford.
If the people elect this guy for another term the city will be the laughingstock
of planet earth.

It's pretty much a non story except for those who are obsessed with the topic. No point in explaining addiction to the haters, understanding the disease only applies when they support the individual.
You really think planet earth give a tin sh!t about Toronto?
