How Steve-O Got Sober... and Stayed Sober

[@uAdrien]

The best stunt he ever did, getting sober.

[@youatemysandwich1]

This should be a top comment. You should send this to Steve-O

[@jcdenton4621]

It won't last long. His soberness is only temporary. He won't be able to live a drug free or alcohol life for long. We'll be hearing more from Steve-O in the very near future for sure.

[@sashaburton9042]

@Alaska Music The fact that he makes his sobriety public is literally helping save lives 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh well if he’s “too boring” for you. These men are in their 40’s.

I’ve been alcohol and drug free since 05’. Weed, shrooms and a bit of acid led me to bipolar disorder. My friends continued on to doing coke.

My strength will be tested when I lose my parents. I hope I can be strong for my wife and kids. Happy for Steve-O!

Family is all you have at the end of the day. Friends come and go, it don't matter how long you've known them, adulthood especially young guys go through the same shit which in turn leads to a drug-depending friendship, where all you like to do is get fucked up together, take the drugs out and you have no friends. Sad truth.

I remember when Jackass first appeared on TV, I was finishing school. Being barely 12 back then, I just couldn´t believe the stuff those guys were willing to do just for the sake of entertainment, and Steve O was by far the one who did some of the gnarliest shit my eyes have witnessed to this day. So, having that in mind, It´s reasonable to say he was the one anyone could say would end up getting fucked up to death. But now he got his shit together, and that´s truly remarkable. If he managed to reach sobriety, anybody can. Also, huge kudos to Knoxville for having the initiative to get Steve O´s ass inside that psychiatric ward. Speaks lots of him. "Hi, I´m Johnny Knoxville, and this is me getting Steve O´s sorry ass a much needed fresh start".

Steve O is such a great role model. I’m sure he’s helped so many by spreading the hope and means of recovery.

[@itsabeautifulanimism3704]

I hope everyone struggling with any kind of addiction can watch Steve-O’s journey and listen to his rise from demise and truly learn from him. We don’t even know him personally and we all know, if he can come back from the craphole he was at, y’all can too! I truly truly wish all those struggling the best! You’re not weak! You just need a push, mainly from yourselves! You all have this! I promise! You can do this!! Your life matters! ❤️

[@robertmccutcheon4103]

man this guy is in a weird way sort of an inspiration for me. I have been sober for two and a half years and there have been a few night where i was feeling weak and watched one of his videos talking about sobriety to help keep me straight and level

[@dylanmorrin9504]

really like this interviewer. very understanding even in some tough questions and presented them respectfully. Well done.

He reminds me so much of David Eigenberg, Steve from SATC, that I automatically transfer all of my affection for Steve to Steve O. Really wishing him happiness.

[@Immortalized1]

I’m here to tell ya’ that’s there’s no miracle cure or solution to alcoholism; you either quit drinking, or you don’t. There’s a decision that has to be made. That’s it. That’s all. Been sober 9.yrs myself. Gone through 16 treatment centres over a 20 year span. I speak from experience. Like Nike says, Just Do It!

The best way to quit drugs is to see not how much they mess you up, but to see how much you love them more than anything else, once this is realised then you will want to quit as nothing should be more loved than those close to you...

I'm SO proud of my man steve-o! I have no pack (boo-hoo). My success (or lack-there-of) has been due to a lack of trust in those around me. I think Steve may have been speaking of AA/NA programs, but we all know he also has many friends at least I would assume. Wonderful to hear him talk about this and that he is still sober! Thanks, Steve-O!! We all hope to see you in many projects to come, in front of or behind the scenes, congrats on your engagement!

[@Woudloper]

Male Feminist I agree. Weed isn’t for me either. I get debilitating anxiety. I will never smoke again. Last time I smoked my heart rate went skyhigh. My veins felt like they were on fire and I had a feeling like I was leaving my body. Rushed to the ER, my top heartrate was 217: not healthy. It scared the crap out of me and now I even leave the room when someone else starts smoking.

[@frightenedsoul]

Stig Lauren you got way too high of a dose is what it sounds like. Think of taking way too much of anything and you will probably experience really bad side effects. Marijuana these days is super strong too. That said it is indeed not for everyone!

[@lotusscheffer]

....so much respect to this guy. I know about addiction (my dad died a day before his 40th birthday of an overdose of heroin, suicide...he was ashamed and lost everything he loved due to this dissease) and I know it's a lifetime goal, sometimes struggle, to stay sober..... So if you can get clean for 11 years already, then you are a strong and smart human being! Love to Steve O.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

When Brandon Novak got sober and stayed sober I had that feeling of "Well done my man." because his addictions were much darker than Steve-O's. I would love to have a double interview with Novak and Steve-O where they openly talk beating the demons of addiction. Because they have so much in common.

[@PlutoTheGod]

RastaSaiyaman Brandon's Steve o's were even worse than Brandon he was literally getting fucked up and destroying his house and himself and shit. Brandon was just a lazy H addict. But good on both of them for getting sober, now they just need to save bam.

[@yourthebest7942]

I had no clue he has 11 years clean. That’s great. I’m coming up on one year in less than a month. I basically used some sort of substance daily for 30 years. Went to work everyday, held a job for 25 plus years. Finally hit rock BOTTOM. While I was using daily those 30 plus years, the last 10 months of using I went through close to 100k. I certainly don’t have Steve O money. But entered treatment & I attend a few meetings a week. I totally disappeared from the crew I ran with, changed the cell # etc. For me personally, it’s 95% mental, you have got to wanna do it.

[@timmbrockmann959]

exactly, and then when it clicks in your mind, it´s not even that hard anymore, you are kind of excited for your new life and energy and outlook. What was that substance btw?

I’ve been battling addiction for 22 years and I’m 36 now. Managed to quit the pills and hard drugs, still drinking, smoking grade and ciggies.

[@RandomPerson-jd4hm]

To be honest, Steve O is a real inspiration, I’ve been to rehab two times and now I don’t drink often but I’m at the point why do I keep going back to this that has caused me so much pain and stress not just to me but also my family? I can go a whole month without drinking and not miss it one bit but when I do I just binge drink, it’s exhausting, it’s draining and today is the day I’ll start my sobriety, I’ve seen so many faces of alcoholism in my dad and myself, enough
