I hope his whole heart is in it. Addiction is one hell of a disease to kick. Best wishes Mr. Irsay!

Get well Jim. You've now taken the first step.

Prayers go out to him, withdrawal/ detoxing will be hell for him.

Get well soon Mr. Irsay.  You always had Indy's Back, we'll have your back as you work on your illness.  God Bless!

Very smart move, on every imaginable level.    No downside to doing this.

 

Good luck, Jim.

 

Please stay 90 days!

I think 100% of ColtsNation is behind Jim, just like we were all behind Chuck. 

 

I sincerely hope that they can provide him with the help he needs and that he can get back to doing what he loves soon.

 

Get well soon Jimbo!

[SteelCityColt]

I wish I had enough likes for all these posts wishing him well.

[Poster X]

Good luck to Mr. Irsay. The only thing that is important right now is you getting the help you need, and football is totally irrelevant. A little support goes a long way... and a whole lot of faith. Be strong.

We Colts fans have your back.

[snkdy]

Good. Wishing hm the best.

[Tracy Denton]

JimStrong !!!

[Maniq]

Great news. Get well.

[adamthyst]

You can beat this, Irsay. Colts Nation is here for you. We are #IRSAYSTRONG.

[Slick_Rick]

Good news. I'll definitely miss his twitter-ing for the next few months, but if it means getting Jim healthy, and really being able to focus on the Colts, great. Get well big guy!

[Jay Roland]

Mr. Irsay did the right and smart thing. My prayers go out to him to beat his addiction and to his family and friends for the strength to support him during this process and afterward. Colt fans need to show our support for Mr. Irsay also like we did when Pagano was ill with leukemia. This is the first step  for him in a long process and it is the first step in the right direction.

[Devildog]

JIMSTRONG!!!

[B~Town]

Good news hope he has the fight in him because getting sober is battle . Best of wishes to him and his family . #COLTSSRTONG

[HGRekks]

Addiction is no joke. Glad to hear Mr. Irsay is getting help.

[Coltsman1788]

Get well Jim.  Prayers are with you.

[IcEWoLF]

From a Patriots fan, get well Mr. Irsay, you built a great franchise.
