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.

Heh! Guess Travolta was waiting til Jeff hit rock bottom (Celebrity Rehab was "pre" rock bottom)
Maybe we'll see Jeff at the Academy Awards next year and say, damn - that Scientology works!
Or maybe we'll get smarter this year and quit supporting these cult members by boycotting their movies.

Can't wait to see Celebrity Deprogramming.

Reminds me of an old Cheech and Chong routine. "I used to be all messed up on drugs. But since I found the Lord, now I'm all messed up on the Lord." Maybe Scientology will do the same for his career as it did for Kirstie, and John, and Jenna .... oops.

"Dave? No, Dave's not home."

Hail Xenu!

[roninracer]

now if they would just approve normal brainwashing for additcs I am willing to bet that it would work even better than $cientology

[kellygrrrl]

Dang! I don't know which one is more frightening: being a junkie or being a Sci-Cult member

[wildflowermaven]

I say whatever works. Its not for me, and I think their pay to learn principle makes them more a self-help regime than a religion, but having watched a few Celebrity Rehab episodes I'm just glad to hear he's doing well.

$cientology as the cure. Wonder how much his salvation will cost him? Mr. Ponzi, meet Mr. Barnum, Mr. Barnum, Meet Mr. Ponzi. Why don't you two guys go off and invent a religion or something?

[GalaxieGal]

Everything he has, plus $15.

I hope he finally got things together. Watching him on Celebrity Rehab was so painful... just sad how he went down the tubes. Hopefully things will be looking up for him and that he's getting things together.
