Ford told the Sun he realizes "it's time" and that he "wants" to "deal with his issues."

The mayor admitted to having smoked crack cocaine in November. At the time, he admitted he was in a "drunken stupor" when he did it.

Since then, he's been stripped of many of his powers. He faces two major challengers in the upcoming election, set for Oct. 27, according to BBC.
