      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.

    I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

    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. You see that your family are the only ones that care when you are institutionalized in a psych ward. Go to the gym 3-4 times a week and love my wife and kids. Dark days are behind me for now. My strength will be tested when I lose my parents. I hope I can be strong for my wife and kids.

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.

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.

      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.

    • @johnnybravo5962
      @johnnybravo5962 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To me it’s about the level of self control a person has. If you can take two hits of pot (bowl or bong and no FAT RIPS) or drink 2 beers and then call it quits for the rest of the night you don’t need to be sober.
      If you however have to smoke pot until you sleep and when you wake up, or need to drink 8 beers at night you NEED to be sober.
      This is why many people have normal lives while also doing some drugs, while some are better off never touching the stuff. It’s all individual. I drink once every few weeks socially but can’t imagine being loaded every night, I’d have trouble keeping my life together.
      Weed is much less damaging as alcohol tho.... I wish alcohol didn’t exist.
