Charlie Sheen has released his first statement since his infamous bender late last week. In it he thanks his bosses for sticking with him.

“I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support  I have received from so many people. I want to say “thank-you” to my fellow cast members, the crew of “Two and a Half Men”, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support.  And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much. Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion,  I just want to say, “thank-you.”
