What I love about Brandon and Steve-O is that I’m still interested in them, still entertained by them and still want them to do well. It goes to show that they never needed drugs and alcohol to entertain me and for me to be interested in them. They were always funny and interesting.

I mean.. the only thing that is kind of annoying not only because I see it happen alot but because I feel the person's sincerity and sobriety becomes a thing of business and promotion. I mean look at those first interviews with Novak, he already gots his story memorized and varied ready for mass public viewings while receiving that check. I got blah blah, 8 scarfs, restraining order from mom, I toured with Tony hawk or whatever I was so great blah blah. I mean although Novak's story is unique I've heard it a hundred times in about a hundred different ways. I agree with SteveO and what he said to Novak about what he thinks about his public image and character being treatment. And we all know he gets paid a ton to go around and basically talk. I mean pretty awesome deal, i don't know. I just don't like the literal word for word story that's always the same, and I have this feeling as I do with all those like Novak they are doing this simply for the money. But then I hear about personal interactions with Brandon and addicts, talking hours to some legit helping others I don't know.

@@jordanlong836 i think its all sincere its just his style of programming. Ive met alot of guys in the years ive been in and out of the program that have great sobriety that are literally just like him and arent getting paid a cent. They are just some guy in the program at some thursday night big book with a certain amount of time. 30 years even ive seen. And yeah it does come across as robotic and off putting to some, but i think for guys like them that rigidity is the stark oppose of what they were like when they were using and thats a part of what keeps their head on straight. Not everyone can be like hamish patterson or steve o and for what its worth thats just what working their program looks like and they truly are great guys who if you let them will give the shirt of their back if they think your serious and want to help you save your own life. ( caveat yeah Novak does make alot of money doing this, but that doesnt negate all the good he does. Mans gotta eat and he also runs a sober house that to my knowledge is mostly out of his own pocket and hes heavily personally involved in. For a time he had might still even, had his personal phone number released to help people and he actually would answer)

I was doing really good and thought i was actually going to make it. Lost my job and the little grip i did have on the short sobriety i did have. Ugh... They say uf u really want it u will. But i really do want it, im just scared i cant live without. This is the worst shit ive ever dealt with in my life. Good for u man keep it up dont let nothing change it

@@tracyk.5200 Have you looked into an inpatient or out patient rehab? This last time I ended up in the hospital and it scared me straight. The time before i went to an outpatient rehab 3 days a week for almost a year. I got stupid and thought I could just smoke weed after almost a year of sobriety and fell back in the hole again. What i learned in the outpatient rehab really helped me this time around because i actually stuck by the lessons they taught me in there. Doing it all on your own his really fucking hard and most of us need help. Even if outpatient or inpatient isn't possible for you going to AA or NA meetings can really help especially with accountability. I found my own way to sobriety. Its frustrating sometimes but don't give up. Reach out for help. You can even start by just telling your doctor you need help and they can give you some resources to get you started. Ive got 14 months of clean and sober time now. That's the longest ive ever been sober in 22 years. I never thought it was possible but we do recover. I wish you the best of luck and I have faith in you.

My childhood is the reason why I stay away from drugs and alcohol. I watched my alcoholic parents kill 6 packs on a daily basis. My dad got hooked on pills after his plane accident, and his beers turned into bourbon, and he turned into a verbally abusive drunk. I cut him out of my life for 6 months, in which that time he got off the pills. He's cleaned up his act enough for me to be comfortable with him seeing his only grandchild. My mom has gone from drinking a 12 pack a night to a glass of wine a week. Also working in a hospital where I see the effects of addiction frequently keeps me away. I never want my child to ever see me intoxicated, because I don't want them to go through what I went through. And I don't want to be like my parents were.

There is so much truth to what Novak just said. I have been completely sober from drugs&alcohol since Oct 2nd 2007. And I can humbly say I have not felt the need to pick up a drink/drug since no matter what challenges I had went through,whether or not of my own making (for we are imperfect humans and still falter along this journey) over the last almost 14 years that idea has never been the answer to stop the pain or to change the outcome to a better one. Facing my fears, forgiveness for others and myself, and then taking action. Staying sober does get easier, its starts to make more sense to. It's the "Life" thing that isn't easy at times and we can feel challenged,indifferent and confused about. Though if we stay sober then we can put up one Hell of a fight from not keeping up knocked down. Sending love to you all that are also on this journey a day at a time. ❤❤❤

I remember seeing Novak on MTV & Howard Stern, and really finding him disgusting, annoying and obnoxious. Seeing him now sober is outrageously inspiring, and makes me think that sobriety can be as fun, and interesting as I imagine it being. I’m only on Methadone Maintenance, but that’s not sobriety. I want to live life on its own terms, and pursue my interests, not live it dose to dose, waiting on that little buzz. I remember joking around with my friends as a kid, and how good that felt. I started using to try to feel good, and to be social, but in hindsight, It’s brought me nothing but self loathing, isolation, and misery.

bro honestly, going through what you've been through makes you a hell of alot smarter and stronger than you used to be. i grew up watching you guys since i was about 5 maybe 6 years old.. im 25 now and to be honest, i dont know you but i love you man, all of you cky viva la bam and jackass dudes. as bad of an influence as you guys were, i learned ALOT from you guys while growing up. i watched ryan push you in that garage when i was a kid and i didnt understand it but i came across that clip so many times rewatching all the old shows and movies and i understand the love ryan had for you to be that pissed off that you're still on hard drugs and bringing it around bam and his family and house.. believe it or not, there is a silver lining to all those years you spent drinking and on hard drugs, it taught me and im sure alot of other kids my age at that time, how NOT to be and im sorry you had to go through that and suffer without any real help for so long but seeing you now man, you've come so far and youre a much better, stronger, smarter and cooler dude because of all of it. in that sense, it's a path only you couldve taken and come out on top of and i can honestly say you are one of the main influences on me growing up especially through highschool, NOT to try anything bad that was around alot like heroin meth and alot of coke in my area. now ive smoked weed and drank throughout high school and watched old kids i knew back in high school snorting lines of heroin, walking their tv's their parents bought them for a christmas down to the dealers house to trade for a bundle. shit was bad around my area but i remember watching how it all effected you and these other kids and i wanted no part in it. ive also lost my cousin who was 24 at the time to heroin but not until years after i watched what you went through. safe to say that you are one of the main reasons i never touched heroin meth crack lean or any of that hard shit. cant lie, ive done coke a handful of times at parties and vacations with friends when i was 21 but havent touched that shit in 4 years and dont plan to ever again especially after seeing how far you've come. i wont risk that shit, i hardly even drink anymore maybe once or twice every few months. proud of you brother and im genuinely glad you've been sober and treat sobriety the way you do. you've always been a good dude who just got caught up in the wrong shit at the wrong times. stay well my friend

It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t really watch. I thought you’d be dead a long time ago. To see this is a testament to what we are capable of. It starts with the person who needs help wanting to be helped. And it is amazing to see your transformation. It is like night and day brother, and sober, we can see and hear your thoughts, you expressions aren’t muttered by intoxication, and you are clearly a bright man, and you likely always had that intelligence. Drugs just wouldn’t let that come out. Proud of you brother

I find I’ll be good I’ll be sober for a while then I start becoming obsessed when something more right now it work and I have success with it. So because I’m succeeding it becomes the most important so sobriety falls back I’m good I’m sober. Then it’s I can have on I made so much worked so hard it’s fine. Then it’s 2, 6 , 10. Then I’m hungover I need hair of the dog. Then it’s lunch, and I find myself with stomach pain all day barely working think why the fuck am I back here. Thanks Brandon it really was what I needed to hear.

I found it hard even after two years. I broke my sobriety and now im wrestling with keeping it over a month again. idk the temptation never leaves me. even on days where I recollect on why im doing this and feel positive, i can end up dying for a drink. despite all its done to me. i feel like two people constantly fighting with eachother.

Been on methadone a year and a half. It might not be "true sobriety" but it saved my life. I was a homeless heroin addict spending 10o$ a day. I was gonna die. Not from overdose. Shit like sepsis. Without methadone id be dead.

This is how I am. My tolerance erases possibility of OD as I spend 120 a day on fentadope and have been doing it for years...ever since the brown dope left the streets and the white fent replaced it in or around 2016. I've never once overdosed...my body is like a sponge to it. I'm worried about sepsis or hep...and I think the shit in and around Chicago is so strong I won't be able to cold turkey like I did back in the brown powder days...I fear methadone is the only way out. I can't even wait long enough to take a suboxone without going into precip which is like cranking the flames of hell up from 4 to 10 on the thermostat. Took one at 32 hours in and still went into precip which makes no sense because I was already vomiting and shaking, full blown WD. Damn I wanna live so bad and I want what these clean people have. They all look so healthy and have nice clothes, drinking coffee, and helping others...fulfilling a purpose. I'm about to sleep the day away until I go cop tonight because if not I will be sitting in the hell vice that is fent withdrawal.

I stopped watching certain programs and the celebrities involved because it seemed as if their success was being boosted by encouraging your addiction. I felt quite often you were badly mistreated. And I said to myself this shit just isn't funny. I'm so happy to see you controlling your own destiny and succeeding on your own two feet. Overcoming addiction is such a beautiful thing I've experienced the joy myself. You look good brother and I wish you nothing but good marching forward

4 years clean in June. It's easy not to use. Life is hard. Drugs just aren't a solution anymore to me. Am I still susceptible to screwing my life up? Yes. But not with drugs. I've said it since day one and I'll say it again and again and again: I'm not going to use again. I don't care what happens.
