David Arquette has “been drinking a lot”

In order to get past the pain of his split from wife Courteney Cox, David Arquette admitted to Howard Stern on his radio show, “I’ve been drinking a lot. [But I don’t] want to go into all that, because it’s really a personal, traumatic thing.” He also said he’s been seeing a psychologist once a week, because he was afraid he was having a nervous breakdown. “Everybody’s worried and concerned about me,” he added. “When I drink, I become a maniac.” However, he promised to lay off the booze for awhile. He talked about the split, saying, “This is the hardest thing anyone has to go through … You wake up and the reality hits you.” He added: “[Courteney] said she doesn’t want to be my mother. I kind of need a mother right now. I need a girl to come bring me some soup and make sure I’m all right. I like that, and I take care of my ladies, too.”
