Joy Behar personally sent Monsters and Critics (she didn't but it's late, we're tired) tonight's conversation from her show, The Joy Behar Show, about addiction, with the newest member of the HLN family, Dr. Drew Pinsky.

His new show, "Dr. Drew," debuts on April 4th @ 9pm ET & PM.

In this clip, guest host Laurie Dhue discusses her 15-year battle with alcoholism. Joining Dr. Drew in the discussion is actor Jeremy London (yes, THE Jeremy London…my 90s crush who totally lost the pretty over the years), who also battled addiction but is now sober.

On Charlie Sheen, Griffin Holbrook*, I mean Jeremy London said:

“It’s tragic. It really is. It’s so obviously the culmination of years of drug abuse completely annihilating his brain.”

Ouch, TS**, I mean, Jeremy London.

Dr. Drew was able to shed some additional light on Sheen by adding:

“He has two problems. He has addiction with the denial that is a feature addiction , ya know, denial is a defining feature of the condition. But he also has now –  and this again based on my observation of him just as I would observe any other patient or reading about any other case describing their behavior –  and I can say pretty easily when someone has something called hypomania.”

Dr. Drew and Chandler Hampton***?  Two. Charlie Sheen? Zero.
And tune into The Joy Behar Show weeknight’s at 10pm on HLN!
