4 years is crazy Godspeed Andy

[@jpeezie3192]

Amen 🙏

[@Outlawed1]

This is the most composed and put together I’ve ever seen Andy. Although he will always be a skate rat pile in our eyes it’s good to see him add sobriety to his long list of fuckin awesome shit that makes him Andy Motherfuckin Roy🤘🏻

[@markerfumes]

My man looks great at 52

[@STELLARMIGHTY]

You act like 52 is 72 lol - he looks 52 😂

It's that prison dental.

[@Imnottapinata]

@@jkuebler89Bam paid for his teeth from a very expensive dentist. Prison will simply pull your teeth out of infected. They don’t provide high quality fake teeth.

[@hangingon]

So happy & proud of Andy. I messed up on that fent and now got 10 days but guys like Andy give me hope.

[@daleadelic]

sending well wishes from the uk man! i relapsed today but got a few days but im also on maintanance so got that to kick too hopefully it will go good for me and i can fully repair after 25 years of using something

[@valerietripp2434]

He nailed it! To surrender is the only way out.

[@Avaloctus]

Wow, 4 years sober.... that's some serious time....( ' been through all this s?&t myself )..... keep it up Andy !!!

[@kiri4341]

Inspirational as always Andy! i`m going clean for 5 months now . Every now & then i would look up for your video to get some motivation. 100% Skateboarder

[@light1908]

So sick, Andy. It’s never too late to grow up just enough to be a solid ass dude. Well done!

[@jesserodriguez2493]

Hell yeah...motivating for sure.

[@dannyfields..]

wow he looks great. Im 48 and he was same age and quit everything. i even quit smoking cigarettes which was th3 hardest thing.i think as you age and approach 50 your mortality thoughts kick in and you want to stay alive. totally related to everything he said. respect Andy

[@noahdyedotcom]

SF legend. So sick to see his life turned around. I romance the hardcore party SF days with Andy included, but understand you either move on or die sometimes. Good on him.

[@Freiheit1232]

Bro I love Andy and I’m glad he’s doing well

[@smittys551]

Good to see him get his feet back under him. Good for him. Fight the good fight.

[@itmightgetdark]

one of the best up and coming podcasts.

[@TheOnlySettyG]

So happy for you Andy! We are all so proud of you man. Love🫡💙

[@gordrilla]

5 years later after quitting coke, alcohol and cigarettes myself. He's right, one day you wake up and its easy because like Andy said you're just tired of it all.

[@nailsbarr7045]

You’re doing it Andy!!! Congratulations! Take it day by day, Homie…

[@jayc1676]

"Tired of it and so beat up" ..... anyone who has an addiction/substance problem that has been hanging around for too long, give that statement some thought. Do the hard yards and you know you'll feel better for it.

[@illmsg77]

The term "gift of desperation" just recently made sense to me. I could never had understood that 4 months ago. I'm now 120 days clean and my life is slowly getting better and happier than I ever thought I could be.

[@toynazi]

So glad to see he stuck with it. I grew up loving this dude in the early 90's. I had a life changing illness in 2014 and almost died. It changed my perception of life.

[@aviongamer6892]

This is amazing! Love to see it, such a legend

[@kennethfrancis6209]

Stay blessed foo 3 years myself now

[@BLAMEROARRR]

Thank you for this.

[@ShralpDaddy]

Glad to see you sober Andy. This version of you seems pretty cool. Take care.

[@clivemathieu9386]

Fair play to Andy. Respect

[@user-yq1rc6or9x]

Great conversation. Thanks guys.

[@viniciusmichelin4732]

andy is luck to have been a good skater as he was younger. its really hard to leave drugs if you dont have a solid base of friends or family and something good to do professionaly with your life. im glad hes sober now, hope he can pass the word for the new generation about drug abuse as far as he can.

[@sunstruck]

Congrats on your sobriety Andy.

[@gnarles6927]

Met this dude personally. A real genuine fucking human. Day by Day Andy 🤘

[@premoacct]

Andy looks and sounds awesome! Inspiring

[@ghhhp]

he said it perfectly when he said ‘i surrender’ if you are not at the point of completely being beat down and wishing for death instead of waking up the next day you’re not ready and it won’t work it’s sad to say but it’s true if you’re just thinking you can quit you can’t

[@chull21]

Yea Andy, git it!!!! So rad ❤

[@Raviolli]

So good

Robin eggs were the 7.5mg vicodins lol. I remember those. They had red speckles on a white egg shaped pill.

Wish the interview went longer. Seems like something happened where they lost the second half.

[@marshall0814]

I'm so stoked for Andy. I'm coming up on 3 years. Unfortunately, this kid shouldn't be interviewing anyone. He doesn't know how to ask a question or what questions to ask. I had to turn it off. Too annoying/cringe.

"im 4 years sober" "you miss that shit dont you"

[@quietbynaturechannel]

He needs to get on Theo Von’s podcast. I think they’d have an interesting convo.

[@user-sh9ci1ei3g]

damn that’d be a good one

[@lylechipperson3407]

But he relapsed 2 years ago..

[@jalonzo310]

When I saw him on The Nine Club podcast, he looked like a totally different person. No homo, but he is a good-looking man when sober but too bad his ex didn't stick around. He relapsed in the beginning when he got clean and I guess it was too much for her.

[@NativeOfTheLand97]

Sometimes the damage and estrangement is permanent. I've been through it myself. They may still love you as a person and what you represented but aren't in love with you anymore and there's no way they can pursue a romantic relationship anymore. It's extremely painful. I've even known guys who have been divorced years into sobriety. Just because we get sober doesn't mean we aren't just as crazy. Sometimes crazier if your not looking after your mental and spiritual health.

[@citrixacid]

It’s hard, sometimes you have to leave the one you love because of the addiction, I’m with someone who hid fenty addiction from me half our relationship, you try to love the person and know it’s a disease but then they don’t pay there bills, expect you to pay them so they can go blow 150$ a day! Then start asking you non stop for money so they are not sick etc. it’s pretty much impossible to stay with a opioid addict, it will push you to want to kill your self. I’m glad Andy is doing better! But let’s not shade any one that did not want to be with him while he was using, I’m sure he now that he is clean understands.

[@Noir-Tesseract]

Andy got yoked up.

thats so sick to hear that the old metal mulisha dudes linked up with Andy to get sober lol. What a world

Steven o is the biggest farce.

[@stephenscala3114]

Yeah that’s the point dude, this person’s a real drug addict and it destroyed their life for most of their life…so yeah why would that not be celebrated that they finally got clean and changed their life?? Wtf does you or anyone else being able to do drugs safely and be fine have to do with anything lol
