“Something needs to be done about all the artists we’re
losing to drugs, because I’m tired of it,” Travolta said recently.
The two-time Oscar nominee, who’s graced dozens of films
since the 1970’s, said that his interest in the issue prompted him to offer an
impromptu speech at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre’s 44th
Anniversary Gala, asking friends and attendees to take action.
“I don’t want to lose any more artists. It’s too much
already,” Travolta said. “There’s people that are looking for solutions, and
their solutions are drugs and I understand completely. But when you have a
program that is designed to help you solve those problems differently, but more
immediately getting you off of drugs – cleaning your body of the adverse
effects of those drugs, and then getting a new start, it’s not just a detox
program; it’s a detox program that takes full responsibility for the reasons
you started to begin with.”
Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston has also spoken in regard to
her own struggles with substance abuse, saying, “I’m so different… Now I don’t
drink anymore. I don’t smoke anymore, I don’t do drugs anymore. All of those
come with an ‘anymore.’ I used to do everything and a lot of everything.”
“With drinking, I just decided that I wasn’t always at my
best.” said Preston. “It’s different in that I’m so much wiser. I know myself
so much more now.”
