Charlie Sheen discusses the advancements in technology for HIV treatment and research.  Charlie details how the new treatment is actually equivalent to treating diabetes, and he’s slowly winning the fight.  He had to experiment with a couple combinations of medicine to eventually find out what is right for his body and symptoms. He describes the painful process of going through a spinal tap treatment, to get a clear diagnosis of what he was battling.  There was a moment where Charlie felt like “Why Me?” “Can I Go on?”, but then he took a step back and realized it’s not something like an in-operable brain tumor, it could be treated.  His mom was there for him during the process, which made it easier to get through.  As a kid growing up, Charlie talks about how much his mom was forgiving, loving and always understanding of what Charlie was going through.  This bond has lasted throughout his life, and insists that it still stronger than ever. One of the toughest things Charlie had to deal with during his HIV diagnosis, was the legal requirement to contact your friends, ex’s & family members to let them know about your diagnosis, to make sure that they haven’t been infected themselves.  It was a tough thing to do, and humbled him throughout the process. Post-sobriety and post-diagnosis, Charlie talks about interacting with his family with a fresh mindset and new attitude.  It was refreshing for him to not have any hinderances or things that were distracting him from being the best father he could be. Some of the memories of the lowest moments in Charlie’s drug using days, are the things that keeps him sober these days.  He keeps the memories close, as a constant reminder to himself to stay sane, contribute, and be available for the people he cares about the most. Currently, Charlie is loving the family life.  He recently surprised his 16-year-old daughter with a new car.  Hear about his daily battles with his kids and how providing the best environment for them, regardless of his marital issues, is his #1 priority. It’s a tough balance to discipline the kids while co-parenting, but Charlie has some tips to share.  Also, hear what album & movie Charlie chooses to be stuck on an island with.
