This is a great article on David Arquette and his 2 years of sobriety. These are always great stories to hear about for those involved at treatment centers.
"David Arquette is a celebrity who is a member of the Arquette acting family. He is best known as an actor, but he has also been a producer, director, professional wrestler and fashion designer. Arquette entered a rehab program in 2011 and says that he is still sober.
Career
Arquette got his start in major film work with the Scream series of slasher films. The first three films in this series were made in the late 1990s and the fourth was made in 2011. His early films also include Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Wild Bill.
He has also wrestled professionally, becoming the Heavyweight Champion in the World Championship Wrestling promotion in 2000. This result drew sharp criticism from commentators as contributing to the demise of WCW. Arquette also played the character of Jason Ventress on the In Case of Emergency, an ABC sitcom that ran for one season in 2007.
Marriage
Arquette met film and television actress Courteney Cox in 1999, while making the first Scream film in 1996. The couple’s only child is Coco Riley, who was born in 2004. Actress Jennifer Aniston is the godmother of Coco. The couple married in 2006, and Cox filed for divorce in 2009. She changed her mind a few months later, but the couple publicly announced a trial separation on October 11, 2010. At that time, Arquette told Howard Stern in an interview that he and Cox had not had sex during the past four months. The couple remained separated until their divorce was finalized in 2012.
Rehab
Arquette says that he experienced severe emotional issues due to his separation from Cox, and began drinking to excess. His alcohol consumption reached its peak on December 31, 2010, when he spent New Year’s Eve with Jeff Beacher at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Arquette checked into a rehab facility the following day on January 1, 2011. His alcohol abuse was the primary reason for his admission, although he also admits to struggling with depression. Arquette has said that his family’s concerns were a significant factor in getting him to enter rehab.
Arquette discussed his recovery on an episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that aired on April 8, 2011. He stated that he had just passed his 100th day of sobriety. Arquette returned to The Tonight Show on October 8, 2011, saying that he had been sober for more than nine months."
