Dennis Rodman exits rehab, denies that he's an alcoholic

Dennis Rodman checked into an alcohol-rehabilitation center to re-evaluate his life, not give up drinking.

"I needed to decompress from all the things I was going through," Rodman said Friday by phone from Miami. "I was trying to get this game going and get everything going in North Korea.

"I don't need to drink," he said. "I don't need to do anything. I went to rehab just to sort things out. That's it."

He said he could curb his drinking and that he does not have a problem because he doesn't drink every day.

"I'm not an alcoholic," he said. "An alcoholic drinks seven days a week. I don't drink seven days a week. When I drink, I don't hurt nobody, I don't have no DUIs, nothing like that.

"I didn't go to rehab for drinking. There aren't too many people who quit drinking going to rehab. Not too many people can do that."

Rodman said he plans to return to North Korea and defended his friendship with Kim Jong Un.

"The people over there are not bad people," he said.

I think he needs his head examined if he truly thinks he can do anything to change North Korea.

I think he needs his head examined if he truly thinks he can do anything to change North Korea.

His head has a metal disease.
