[@compulsivedisease1640]

Skated with him in San Fran when he was homeless it’s fucking crazy to see how well he’s doing

[@vico805]

you never know who could have a change in direction/got a couple of people i keep hoping they can have such an experience to go over that BS negative shit/I’m not perfect either everyone got there vices but yeah shit crazy

[@youngshamrock7258]

[@ColinDane]

went from the Vice docu to this video, what a difference, happy for him

[@Pixografiacast]

so awesome to see him clean and going well!!! andy roy is awesome!!!

[@miked8975]

Dudes an impressive person! Crazy to see the change, him being clean n sober! Great job, dude! Keep it up! Plus, people need to set you up with more interviews, and stories! Interesting, and inspiring!!! Hats off, man! 🎩

[@user-sw1wq8lh2w]

I'm so happy to see Andy Roy doing well it's so positive. He's an amazing skateboarder, we've lost too many too soon. I'm happy he's still here and thriving.

[@DU0ZA]

Andy is a true skateboarding legend from the 80s all the way to present day! I'm so happy for him being clean and healthy.. Thats what's up!

[@jammadamma]

wow... the way he talks, the energy, so different, so much calmer and positive than before. Great work, stay clean!

[@mabelsanchez9500]

Power to safe spaces, seeing men talk on their struggles and becoming stronger through community

[@daltonfoxx3352]

This my second day clean after relapsing again and again and i gotta say kickin from fentanyl is no joke and i just wanna know what helps others the best staying clean and sober because i cannot relapse again this shit is absolute hell

[@srb2591]

Good luck I'm 5 years sober from Heroin and finally quit drinking also 2 years ago. It's hard but possible. My nephew just opened up to me that he is using Fentanyl I'm devasted and trying to get him to get help

[@intanettrappin8367]

Yo you make it through?

[@The.Original.Potatocakes]

You have to remove yourself from the situation, run as far away as you can.

[@nicolasbaker9601]

You should get into inpatient treatment and afterwards immediately move into an Oxford house. I got 2 years and some change clean today 🙏

[@shamusbob7969]

Hope you're doing okay. Don't beat yourself up when you slip up. It's the worst thing to do to yourself is beating yourself up, loving yourself and being patient is more constructive than kicking your own self esteem.

[@Markb51291]

I love Andy. I hope nothing but good things and sobriety to him. Hes a good person dealing with bad shit

[@derekbonevelle]

Nothing makes me happier than seeing addiction recovery stories like this. Andy is the man!❤

[@decentbrad666]

Just watched the Vice documentary and seeing him now he looks incredible, the contrast of him in the Documentary to now just shows how deep he was in drugs during that filming, so good to see the legend surviving and thriving.

[@AntGFromSD]

Andy needs his own channel so he can monetize!

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

He has one. Ripride or die podcast

[@Noumenon4Idolatry]

Andy and I have the same dentist. Thanks for inspiring me to take care of my health.

[@nonoahhh]

Andy hosted his podcast across the street from my spot Met so many skateboarders, guests I'm recovered myself, See him now sober and rockin n rollin Fkin RAD man ! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@More_Of_Brad]

Respect Andy! keep shredding man. Stoked to see your doing so well!

[@hughmcboo8329]

This hits hard. nobody understands an addict like an addict. Andy and other sober survivors are super necessary now more than ever. Such an amazing soul.

[@michaeljohn8905]

Brother from another mother. Man I made through the 80,$ n 90,$ in NYC. life is good now. Proud of you brother . I’m back skating agai n because of people like you Andy .. we made it to the other side man. Peace.

[@christophersawyer253]

Great job Andy. Looking real happy, healthy and honest. Your honesty is hopefully inspiring to others who struggle. Good job.

[@fugyamofug]

So stoked to see Andy doing good The ripride podcast was so rad That episode with Chris pontius and Jason Jesse is one of the best Skateboarding podcast episodes ever Would be cool to see more episodes

[@najman2741]

My uncle who has gone into a recovery program and has been cleaned up for several years now is improving his life. He has a full time job. Helps out his mom. Doing his art again. Making music. It’s great to see. It’s a lot of work and self reflection. My other uncles who haven’t gone into recovery programs are dead far too early or estranged. It’s good to see Andy Roy is in a healthier place and helping others too.

[@raodeerekloos3077]

Andy is a prime example that anyone can take back control of their life at any point in time! You are never to old to get clean and make your situation better! Blessings Andy!

[@joleneking706]

He’s such a great skateboarder legend sooo happy to see he’s in recovery!!!

[@booitsnick]

What’s cool is there are going to be kids that will tell people Andy Roy taught them how to skate. I love knowing that😂❤

[@bakoguy5330]

Been a real fan for a few years now, it breaks my heart that someone so down to earth had to go thru this shit! Bro, I even bought his Skateboard and a few of his pictures, all signed.

[@dookiepost]

It's great to see him so much healthier

[@villageofbastards.]

This makes my day better. Great to see a happy man...

[@drewyoung9357]

Bro you are one of the most inspirational people!! I've been dealing with addiction for about ten years, crystal, Addy's, Vyvanse, crack and dope... I've been clean off the ice, dope and hard now for about 3 years. I still take Vyvanse and Addy's sometimes when I really need energy even know theirs really Kno excuse. But it's definitely a everyday battle! You're rad as fuck tho brotha, you really inspire me and I kno alot of other people feel that way! Stay strong and much love!!!!

[@raichu56k]

i was looking up to this guy when i was 15 or 16, i'm 22 now so it's nice to see how he's doing

[@YouLikeBosch]

Having just watched most of the King of the Road videos on Vice, this is wild to see. I didn't know he had gotten sober.

[@Keepitsavage21]

My Facebook time line reminded me of the vice video they had of him and made me look him up and found this. Glad to see him doing good and further tell his story of his life and struggles.

[@jamesmckibbin7298]

I just wanted to say you have been a big time inspiration to me me! I went thru salvation army in the mission district! That is a hard place! Thank u for being a good role model! Your a great man for what u do for kids! Thank you

Congrats on embracing sobriety Andy. Good job, all the way down to the fresh teef! I went through all the addiction crap and ended up with a full upper implant too. That alone was worth the pain of getting better… 🤘

I don't personally know Andy Roy of course but he is one of my favorite skaters growing up. To see him healthy, happy and sober is amazing!

[@briansherry8320]

Respect Dude.... Focus on what you can change and not on what you can't 👍👍💪

[@ejheidkamp211]

I love Andy. One of my idols skating I just fucked with his high energy and he was born in Antioch like me. He reminds me of Jay Adams and there really aren’t any skaters like them. One of my favorite skaters ever and I’m so happy to see him clean.🤘🏼

[@michaelsherman8349]

Man going from epic later to this video my god it’s like night and day. Proud of this dude. He seemed out of it and on something when they said he was clean on the epic video and you could tell he was on something but my god he looks amazing! And new teeth!
