Rescue Me will help O�Neal: Leary

Tatum O�Neal�s Rescue Me co-star Dennis Leary is convinced the drama series will help her stay sober � because her character will also be forced to kick alcoholism, imdb.com reports.

She was charged with a minor narcotics offence earlier this month after police caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her New York home.

She claimed the incident was her first lapse in sobriety after a longterm battle with drug addition. O�Neal subsequently joined a recovery program for alcoholics.

And Leary � who plays O�Neal�s brother on the show � is convinced that as her character is battling a drinking problem in the upcoming second season, she will be able to put the experience to use in real life.

He tells AOL Television, �(Her character, Maggie) got clean at the end of last year and we have this game plan for her that involves staying sober, so it�s probably gonna work in Tatum�s favour. We were in the middle of planning the next bulk of Tatum�s work before (her drug bust), so she�s got a place to come back to.�
