The A List
Jon Bon Jovi is feeling blessed in the wake of his daughter Stephanie’s reported heroin overdose. In an exclusive interview with “Extra’s” AJ Calloway at the Mohegan Sun Arena, he explained that she’s back to her old self.
“There’s no manual that comes with parenting,” he said, adding, “You surround your kids with love, give them everything you can, you learn, you listen and there were no tell tale signs. None of that, but Steph's doing great, no BS… she’s doing great. I’m blessed that she's whole. I’m blessed that she's really back to being the kid I know.”

Bongiovi, 19, who was arrested Wednesday after a suspected heroin overdose in her Hamilton College dorm, benefited from of a 2011 New York state law that prohibits prosecution of an individual who overdosed or who called for help in a life-threatening, drug-related situation, according to the Kirkland Police Department statement.
She also faced two marijuana-related charges and misdemeanor use of drug paraphernalia, but those charges have been dropped as well.
Bongiovi was reportedly recovering at a hospital on Wednesday.
