@@breed187 You are carrying water for paparazzi, you know the guys who lay on the floor to take photos up semi famous girls skirts.

Yeah, I can remember when being sober seemed strange to me and I thought it wouldn't be any fun...now I look back at those dark days and it hurts to think about how much time I wasted chasing a buzz...but feels great knowing it's over. Almost seems like a whole different lifetime ago

[@andrewsawler875]

@@wagstag89 everyday. The first year was tough, trying to remember who I was befire addiction took ahold of me. I am happy, content. I find joy watching my toddler grow and play. She gave me a sense of rejuvenation towards life again. To just take pleasure in the small things and not sweat shit I cannot change. It is like a whole new world once the fog of addiction has lifted. I am grateful and thankful for my sobriety everyday.

Thanks for sharing. My mom had a stroke and survived for 4 years but her quality of life and mental ability also suffered. It was soul destroying for everyone in my family.

[@MaestorRasanen]

My mom went through cemo and all with pancreatic cancer. It's been now four years and I still ain't over it by a long shot. To see the dearest and loving person to wither away and to change because of the disease was so fucking traumatizing that I just barely cope with it. I can relate to you Steve... I'm sorry for you momma. We only get one right and to see them go like that? Peace brother. Miss you mom.

It's crazy to me, to think that this is the same man who went from stapling his own scrotum to his leg, too, protesting against SeaWorld for the abuse of aquatic animals. Not to mention that this march, marks his 11th birthday of sobriety on the tenth! He is truly a wonderful human being.

Hes always been an animal guy. If youre a true fan you would know about the show wild boys oh yah!

My husband and I have met Steve O he's a good guy and kind person. I am so glad he got sober and change his life. Addiction is a hard battle I have seen people I love battle drugs and alcohol. Seems like the only time it changes for the good when the person decides to fight for themselves. If not they end up dying and their family and friends hurt forever.

[@milesinwyatteandcora]

John Ahn definitely, I hope bam gets better, I know it hit steveo hard but I can only imagine how hard it hit bam, they were the closest. If Steve O can do it so can bam. It’s crazy to see them all mature and clear minded from when they very first started out, I remember how tragic Ryan’s death was, even I shed a tear about it, sad to see a young life lost from being reckless but it set an example for the others that they could’ve had the same fate.
