Steve-O Went From Crippling Drug Addiction to 14 years of Sobriety

The star of MTV's “Jackass” series and death-defying stunt performer Steve-O stops by the “Tamron Hall” show for the first time. Steve-O is celebrating 14 years of sobriety following his highly publicized struggles with drugs and alcohol in the early 2000s. He’s documenting major life lessons in a new guidebook called, “A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I’ve Learned From a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions.” He tells the #TamFam about how he didn’t think he would live past 30 years old and we also get to meet his Fiancée, Lux Wright. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this!

This sober version is by far the coolest version of Steve-o

[@marybowman4722]

Agreed. He really is a genuine amazing person

[@Bools46and2]

I’d rather have him alive and well but let’s be real. Wild Steve O was way more entertaining.

[@asiablackgrl6482]

This warmed my heart. Grew up watching Jackass. So glad to see Steve-O healthy and thriving!!

[@pdxpete48]

My bottom was I'm just done with the darkness, Steve-O has inspired me to a sober goal,

[@zelosmiman5533]

Because of the fact that even the most degenerate druggie such as Steve has succesed Ive decided to get sober. 2 years clean by now. Like if Steve can do it anyone can.

[@git.5578]

I am struggling very hard with my alcohol, I'm going to an AA meeting this Tuesday. I need help. I wish you guys the best!

[@gabrielstanley5348]

Keep on drinking dude, why stop if it makes you feel good.

Never heard of this show or the host but she is a real one. Love this.

[@morganwhite2176]

I work in the field of addiction. I agree with all of this but the only thing I would say people need to be careful of is the ‘kicking people out’ part. More often than not it makes the addict feel more ashamed and then they go and use, and have a higher tendency of dying in the street. Addiction cannot be turned off so easily.

[@hyper-lethal-sigma3]

3 years sober myself and I still remember to this day watching stevos intervention documentary and its helped me to see myself as the wreck I was liveing as...as an alcoholic

[@realrobxking]

SteveO has always been a good man, he's had his ups and downs, but what defines SteveO is his heart is always in the right place because how he is today is truly who he always was.

[@digitalphoenix72]

Seeing him on tv in the early 2000's i never though i would see this side of him, and it really shows you people can change at any time. I just pray that Bam finds the same peace, but Steve-O is a different person, but i will always keep rooting for the underdog.Weve got enough bad news in the world, we need as many underdog and redemption anecdotes as possible...

[@Dulc3B00kbyBrant0n]

Bams fine. its just hollywood cant control him. stevo endorses the satanic church openly and says you are forever an alcoholic even if we invent life extension tech and live a million years withot drinking he will always call u a degenerate alcoholic.

[@SameJoinTheClub]

SteveO is so damn intelligent. I’m so proud of him ❤

[@applewood6]

That entrance has me on the floor! In proper Steve-O fashion 😂😂😂

[@PatriciaBrown1711]

Just started watching this guy and i just love him.His story is so inspiring.

[@GVBRXEL]

first time i’ve heard of your show. i don’t watch tv anymore. but this a fantastic interview.

[@demetrahampton3972]

Love following you, you make it sound so easy .Thank you 48 hours no wine 🤞 I really need this want to get sober from Roma

[@halethewhale]

2 months later how'd you get on?

[@skehlaaj]

11:08 This is so accurate... I say even if you're blessed to have overly loving parents, you should still have some self awareness and give yourself the "tough love" and stick to it.

[@TheDaretodair]

1 month sober - Steve O is such an inspiration to me ❤

[@dholla444]

I always thought he was so cute, he looks even better. Glad to see he is doing well

[@alexsmudin4421]

Absolute legend!

[@Buddycoop1]

He's so right about tough love.

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

[@Army_Brat1980]

He looks great. Congrats Steve!

[@Newdaynewlifenewme]

God bless steve o. Great inspiration. You give me hope. Thankyou steve.

[@MXRX]

[@SeanKonneri]

I agree with the rest. Good interview. Glad to see steve doing good

Long live the Steve-meister 🤘👍🐄

[@madtingz2288]

Seve o gave me motivation to go sober

[@riotpb10]

Sober-O

[@jonathan1391544]

SteveO : if you get an alcohol addiction and recover you'll be a better person than you were before. High me: where do I sign up?

[@x3peeps]

this looks like it's shot in the early 2000s

[@CodeNameV13]

If he wasn't f#$ked up on drugs and alcohol, there is no way his body would have lasted so long.

[@user-xz2zs3lb1j]

definitely tell bam is having a hard time listening to that

[@gwillis01]

hello people

[@Ant_Sherm]

I didn't think id make it to 30 either.

[@boatymcboatface18]

Very, very, very few people can come back from the depths of addiction Steve-O suffered from -- for any period of time. Even fewer can come back from it and stay sober for such a prolonged period. And even fewer can come back from it, stay sober for a prolonged period, and get to a place where you can truly trust that they've beaten the addiction for good and actually will remain sober for the rest of their life. You can think Steve-O is repugnant as a stuntman all you want, but absolutely no one can deny that he's also an inspiration.

[@YourFavoriteCuzzo]

I wonder if they would do an intervention for Bam?

[@Ottophil]

You think they havent? They tried 100 times

[@yessirskis7780]

@@Ottophil But even Steve was involuntarily commited to a psych ward. Couldnt they do the same to Bam?

[@tiffymclarkey7948]

Let him answer you heez

[@DTR89]

10:46 Not a very diverse audience

[@adamdelagarza4856]

Why are we a cult following!!????

[@GymTonic-hr6ro]

Audience has masks…. But the hosts don’t? Funny.

[@NoMoreInfo4You]

Why all the face diapers...is Covid back???

[@drewblanche]

I luv Steve-o, but he never mentions God or praying and that’s literally the first step to getting yourself or somebody you luv sober! ❤

[@annehechesliverdonation9624]

Who cares

[@treemarie3080]

People trying to get sober.

[@nathanielovaughn2145]

Why are the audience wearing those silly masks?

[@Ottophil]

You don’t remember covid?

[@Ottophil]

Why is everybody so worried about what other people do? Its a free country. If you don’t believe in the freedom to wear masks you’re anti american
