Jeff Conaway Credits Scientology For Rehab Success

INSIDE EDITION sat down for an exclusive interview with former Taxi and current Celebrity Rehab star Jeff Conaway, who says he has finally kicked his drug habit by practicing Scientology.

According to Conaway, "I've been doing Scientology...my doctor was like, Holy cow, he says whatever you've been doing keep doing it because it's really working."

Conaway says his former Grease co-star John Travolta introduced him to the controversial religion. "John and I stayed friends but he couldn't watch me going down the tubes...he gave me a whole library of Scientology books and he's given me an auditor who comes almost every day."

Conaway, who lost over 40 pounds while participating in VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, tells INSIDE EDITION he can't wait to get back in front of the camera. "I'm going to be strong and healthy and totally together. I've got to get ready for my Academy Award®."

Tune in to INSIDE EDITION on Monday, March 3rd, 2008 for the full interview.

Look .. the guy was never that talented. He had some looks which is nothing without sense, brains and talent. He has always been about EGO and he's replaced one drug with another ... a cult.

It costs BIG money to be a real Scientologist and recall that when audited, EVERY word, deed, thought and action is recorded in you file. Most never realized WHO really gets to cull that data ... think only the case supervisor has access. The data will be used by the Registrars to extract more funds when the time comes.

The main goal of Scientology is, after walking through the door, that they find your RUIN. That which they can rub in your face and make you pliable. Sex, drugs, illegal activities ... ONCE they find it, they own you and your bank account.

Ask any Scientologist about Xenu ... see if they'll tell you the truth. They even have a course on how to lie effectively ... all for the greater good of course. As far as Conaway being in front of the camera, I doubt anyone has missed him. Try a REAL job Jeff ... but then the only way you can pay for all that auditing is to make HUGE money and quickly.

This guy could not even drive a taxi at this point. Good luck but quit with all the crutches amigo ... drugs, Scientology ... all ego crap.

I'm sure glad Conway is getting further help because he was a little whiny bitch on the TV show...which was all an act...This guy is a junkie and booze hound...Now if scientology can help him....well more power to him....Now that wide eyed crzay witch of a girlfriend...well he needs to kick her to the street pronto because she is bad news for him because she is drunk too...Two wrongs don't make a right....Oh and the whole wheelchair thing................please...........more bad acting....I bet cha dr. Drew had to bitch slap him a few times off camera...because I would of...

What a total douchebag this guy is. Although, he has managed to get his name in the papers, 35 years after his 'B' t.v. career tanked, which has to count for something. He should marry Winehouse and then do a celebrity PPV Suicide. I'd pay 2 bucks to see that...

You're a sick, sad person.

Yeah, something like that would sell for $39.95 easily.

I'd only pay $1.50

But I like the idea of "Celebrity Suicide" as a TV show. I think morticians and casket makers need a better outlet for advertising.

So let me get this straight, It wasn't the weeks of rehab with dr. drew that helped him kick drugs, it was the guy that picked him up when he was done?

Good for you Jeff. Would you please go recruit Ms. Winehouse? Whatever Scientology's got, she needs.

Scamentoloty doesn't have anything anyone needs.

All they want is your money, every bit of it!

To paraphrase Cheech and Chong, 'I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I'm all fucked up on scientology".

Cult brainwashing is a powerful thing. For me, the results do not absolve the means.

Whatever gets you there, Jeff. You were a scary-ass mess on C/R. Good luck to you and your thetans.
