Golden Voiced Ted Williams speaks out in the first interview since walking out of rehab. Appearing sober and straight, Williams declared he is now in a different type of sobriety effort than the one TV’s Dr. Phil ordered. Dr. Phil’s idea of rehabilitation was too much and too fast according to Williams, according to as story by Dexter X. South at gather.com.
Last month the world watched in awe as Ted Williams was discovered on the side of the road, homeless and penniless. His was holding a sign asking for help when he was noticed by a local TV reporter in Ohio. The self proclaimed addict told the world of battle with substance abuse on national TV as he was touted as the newest miracle success story. The instant fame and intention was too much for Williams and he quickly relapsed into his alcohol addiction.
Later interviewed by Dr. Phil, Williams relented to the TV personalities pressure to spend 90 days in a Texas rehab facility. His detractors smugly said, “I told you so” when we walked out of the program abruptly shortly thereafter. However, in today’s interview on the CBS The Early Show, Ted claims he left because even in rehab it was all too much. He found himself doing phone interviews instead of making classes.
Surprisingly, Williams says he is now living in a sober house in Los Angeles for members of the voiceover community, and dedicating himself to his new Second Chance Foundation. During his initial “Cinderella” period, Ted had reunited with his mother and estranged daughter, but in this interview, he indicated that it might not have been a wise decision.
