I was addicted to Ambien and Xanax, together, with <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/crown/" title="Crown">Crown</a></strong> Royal. I was on Uranus, and Pluto, and Neptune, and everywhere else late at night. [Because] I had severe sleep apnea – and still do – I stopped breathing 99 times in an hour in a sleep test. So I wasn’t in real great shape with that deal.”</em></p><p><em>“Ambien is a temporary medication for insomnia. Temporary. Not ten years. …It’s not a [revolutionary] <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/story/" title="story">story</a></strong>, it’s eye-opening, and shows it can happen to anybody. It was like smoking, I just decided one day to quit smoking, and stopped. Done, I’m done.”</em></p>
