On Nov 5th, 2018, Artie Lange came into our New Jersey 101.5 studio and announced that he was going into rehab. Since then it's been a long and winding road that took him through jail, rehab, and drug court. Now it looks like the beloved Union comedian is coming out the other end. I, for one, couldn't be happier.

According to the New York Post, 'Lange, 53, is doing well as he continues in an intensive New Jersey drug court program — and he hasn’t forgotten about his loyal supporters." The article goes on to say  "Lange has been sober for the past 2½ years and continues to live at his home in Hoboken with his mom Judy Lange"

 

I've had the pleasure of both speaking and texting Judy and I can tell you she's a wonderful woman who's now able to help in the process of saving her son's life. She provides the two things necessary for any Italian man's survival. Love and food.

Artie Lange is the true definition of a "stand-up guy". I'm not talking just comedy. When he was kind enough to again visit our studios, he took full responsibility for his addiction and said he's dealing with it "One day at a time". The days have now numbered two and a half years and counting.

Artie's lawyer Michael Robbins told the New York Post "

“He is working on completing his drug court program and resuming his career,” Robbins said. “Artie is grateful for the continued support of his friends and, of course, his fans.” Artie's fans myself included are still there rooting for him with both love and advice. Of course Lange's best advice came from his own lips "One day at a time"

Gail MorroneI always told my Father who was in A.A. for over 35 years how proud I was of him. I would say the same to Artie. Anyone who can overcome an addiction is a very strong and an amazing person.

Chris EppolitoArtie didn't need to return to fast paced environment on the road that was destructive to his sobriety. He needed to reinvent his life, enjoying time with his family while he continues to realize how much he's loved by so many people.
