I found myself getting emotional during this - hearing your dad's reasoning behind not wanting to attend your intervention but wanting to be so supportive. I'm glad you're doing so well Steve-O.

[@xxddestroysxx3642]

❤️❤️

[@esperago]

Yeah. I can't imagine having parents that cared enough. Mine tried to sink me mentally long before I became an adult.

[@haterade4171]

No one cares

[@marshalldylan333]

Damn his dad is smart as hell. A lot of people would have let emotion rule them and shown up anyway. His foresight of what would have been is very impressive.

[@mercuryshadow09]

That was my takeaway as well, no wonder Steveo is the awesome person he has become. Hes lucky to have a father like that.

[@imtroublesome]

Bro his dad is top notch

[@camxdidxthat]

His dad was the Ceo of coca cola. To run a monster company like that you have to have tremendous foresight.

[@zakofrx]

@@camxdidxthat Pepsi in Brazil from memory.. But also other companies around the world like Nabisco etc..

[@shanksmcnasty6650]

Very business smart. But people are smart in different ways and wired differently. As you can see this man STILL does not truly understand really anything about addiction, going to al anon for a year and still not understanding it or getting anything out of it, wife and only son BOTH severely struggled with addiction. I do feel bad for him this is a man that probably spent 90% of the time at work or out of town barely getting to know his own family. Clearly is a good man though

[@LarisseMontrose]

Props to Steve-O's dad for having the emotional intelligence to make that decision and do what was best to get him help. I think a lot of people would've been there just to have some kind of sense of control over the situation, like a panic of "I need to be there so I can fix things for my child" with, absolutely, the best intentions...but zero basis in reality.

[@patrickm7754]

I was waiting for Steve O’s dad to pull out a 9 mil and whisper “interrupt me once more”

[@addisonboling4791]

Steve-O, your story of sobriety sparked my own path years ago. Whenever I'm feeling down or tempted or defeated I always think of your story, or watch a video of you talking about your sobriety. Just seeing you looking healthy and happy helps me to stay straight. I grew up watching Jackass and Wildboyz, those shows got me through other tough times in my life. You've helped a lot of people that you don't even know and I hope that you can take some pride in that fact.

[@KAG1776]

Right on, his story is a epic one! Seeing him then and now just wow! Keep fighting the good fight👊

I’m glad Steve O had his dad, it was the balance he needed with his mom when she was going through hard times. ❤️

[@michelemurphy3541]

Brilliant. To this day, I can’t tell other people about what Knoxville did for Steve’o without getting choked up, which says so much about how emotional and incredibly miraculous it was. Steve’o’s dad going to Al-Anon and realizing why it is important and helpful, is pure gold. I too attended Al-anon meetings, believing I was doing it for the alcoholic in my life but his dad found, turned out *and same;someone in the meeting said something so profound…the meetings were lifesaving for me. This is so wonderful. Thank You!!!! Sending love guys! You are awesome!

[@RickySterling]

Every time I watch one of these it makes me so happy your still here with us!

[@allnamesaretakenful]

This is the first time that a dad refers to his kid's friends as Jackass Friends, and it isn't an insult.

[@Nickkanalas]

You’ve gotta understand, Steve Os dad wasn’t around for much of Steve’s life. He was always traveling and working away from home, then you know, he divorced Steve’s mom because she was an alcoholic and married someone else. Steve had a lot of resentment for that. I think Steve’s dad would have possibly made the situation worse by going to the intervention. We assume that parents are assholes for not trying to help their kids in times like these, but we don’t really look at the relationship the parents have. Maybe the intervention wouldn’t have had been so successful? Maybe SteveO wouldn’t have become sober and maybe he would of went through with killing himself.

[@jeffbenzos6344]

Cool story dude

[@lightup6751]

You should watch the video dude. Why are you saying maybe if the dad clear explains why he didnt go and still supported him

[@StigmataMarty]

He's here now that his son is rich.

[@piiglypro]

@@StigmataMarty I mean steves dad is probably well off and quite frankly probably better off than Steve since he blew most of the money he made until jackass 3. His dad wasn't neglectful on purpose, hindsight is 20/20.

[@jamesbillingsby8043]

This was awesom to hear, great work with this show Steve-O.

[@Misunao23]

His dad talked about it in Steve-O’s documentary. He wasn’t around much in his life and by the time he got more involved, he had realized how much he was in denial about the drugs and that he was holding onto dear life that he could’ve died. It just wasn’t the best situation for him to be there.

[@titsmcgee8885]

I really hope Bam reaches out to you and Brandon for help. Once he’s gotten help and is sober the circle will have been completed.

[@homersimpson5964]

Probably won't happen, Bam is suing Knoxville and the studio for making him stay sober during production of the new Jackass movie.

[@RISKStudioProduction]

Bam will die or kill someone else.

[@tk7977]

As sad as Bams situation is, it isn’t these guys’ responsibility to pull him out of his addiction. The key to sobriety is wanting to be sober, and it doesn’t seem like he wants to be.

[@sandwich496]

[@Stubby1085]

He didn’t want his presence at the intervention to take the focus away from getting help for steve-o which is totally understandable. He was there to support him in rehab and getting well, and obviously loves him very much. That’s what matters.

[@lach1emarks]

There is nothing he can say to you that you don't already know. Weakness and submission to addiction is the reason 99% of people wont achieve anything of major substance. I'm 20 and dont drink or take hard drugs but I smoke pot very regularly and I acknowledge it has a strong grip on my routine. But I also know that the only way out comes from within and I'm sure you know that too. Until you want to repair your body and brain, you will have to live with your weakness and grow to accept that your life is nothing except a timeline of physical deterioration and inferiority to your own impulse.

[@Matt_cuzko]

I know this post is 6 months old but hope you figured it out. I heard you can call Novak and he’s been able to help a lot of people.

[@michaelbarbarich3965]

@@lach1emarks "submission to addiction is the reason 99% won't achieve anything of major substance" Weird. Steve O became super famous while hopelessly addicted to everything. Frued defined the levels of human consciousness while binging on coke. Hunter Thompson wrote some of the greatest prose of the late 20th century while on absurd amounts of every drug known to man. Churchill was an alcoholic. You really don't know wtf you're talking about.

It's weird how we're all soo different.
