Samuel L. Jackson REFUSES Rehab

Hollywood actor SAMUEL L. JACKSON refuses to seek counseling for
his ongoing struggle with drink and drugs - because the therapy groups
near his home in Los Angeles are "just too weird".

The Pulp Fiction star battled an addiction to booze and illegal
substances before a stint in rehab in 1990 forced him to get clean.

And although Jackson has been sober for 18 years, he would ideally like
to continue therapy to help steer him away from temptation - but
Jackson has a strong dislike of the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in LA.

He says, "It's just too weird. You hear guys saying stuff like, 'I've
been hitting the red wine too heavy and I need to stop, but I want to
keep smoking reefer (cannabis) and doing cocaine.'

"In New York, rehab is for real. You sit next to guys who were IV
users, guys who stole s**t, guys who sold their bodies. In Los Angeles
you're sitting next to a guy who wants to go easy on the fine wine.
Man, that's a symptom of something right there."
