What happened to Dennis Quaid?

American actor, Dennis Quaid was once a drug addict. According to sources, he had a past abuse of cocaine which happened before the 2000s. He once shared in an interview with Larry King about his motive for drug use.

“Back in the late 1960s, early 1970s, that was back during the time where, you know, drugs were going to expand our minds and everybody was experimenting and everything. We were getting high, we didn’t know it. And cocaine at that time was considered harmless, you know. I remember magazine articles in People Magazine of doctors saying it is not addicting. It is just – alcohol is worse. So, I think we all fell into that. But that’s not the way it was,” he said.

“It was a gradual thing. But it got to the point where I couldn’t have any fun unless I had it.  Which is a bad place to be. But I saw myself being dead in about five years if I didn’t stop,” he added.
