Gerard Butler Glad He Went to Rehab

GERARD Butler insists she’s glad he went to rehab — because it made him a better person.

The Scottish actor spent three weeks in the Betty Ford Center in February to be treated for a reliance on prescription drugs.

“Maybe a stronger person wouldn’t have needed to go,” he said. “When you hear the word rehab, you think, ‘He’s a mess, he’s f***ed up.’ But I’m glad I did it. I’ve made a s**t load of wrong decisions in my life. But I know I’ve made some right ones as well.

“They really do rip you apart [in rehab]. You get rid of a bunch of s**t, realise a bunch more s**t, and you make a plan.

“I haven’t had a drink in 15 years.

“I was actually taking a minimal amount [of pills] when I went in.

“It was more about becoming a mental warrior and not letting pain bother you. The [instructor] would say, ‘I don’t want to hear about your f***ing MRIs or your f***ing X-rays … Let’s learn how to say to the pain, “F**k you.’ “
