The clips about addiction and sobriety are some of my absolute favourite moments on any show, ever. Love seeing people be able to be open and honest about their situation, thanks stevo! 🤗
Stay strong buddy. It takes a bad ass person to quit drugs and stay clean. If you can do that you can l itterally do anything. Remember that. Take care and best of luck
Skateboarding has been the one of the best things for my recovery. Recovering from heroin addiction since December 13th 2016. Now let’s skate!! This is inspiring
Congrats bro. I’m starting today. I’m exhausted, and I wanna be a better person. I’ve had a year under my belt before, I’m ready for my restart as well.
Yo as a 28 year old who has overcome some hardcore alcohol abuse (roughly 7 years) ; without any real motivation from seeing "role models" do it, I am really stoked to see sobriety becoming cool. That sounds sarcastic and loaded, but it couldn't be more authentic. I really hope that we serve as a voice to other people trying to find their strength. You got it. Just don't do it alone. I couldn't.
a year and a month sober here and 28 as well. such a satisfying decision, I hope it becomes more main stream and drinking ends up being more frowned upon. Maybe kind of like how cigarettes are looked at now.
I love Ryan sheckler man like for real I’m not just a ‘new’ fan, I’ve followed him since been a kid all through his younger years and years of dominance in the xgames etc and wow, the respect I have for the guy on and off the board is unreal. He will probably go down as one of my top 5 all time fave skaters for sure.
I have been sober for years and years I tried having just a few pints again a few years back and it just felt horrible being drunk I have now been sober for 8 years
Been struggling staying sober myself lately. Soon as I get off work or get towards the weekend I get the worst desire to go and get a drink. I’m still healthy so far but I feel like it’ll only make my life harder in the long run. I have hobbies but those only seem to last so long till I wanna crack that can or hit a bottle again. Shit is so tough. Mad respect to anyone that has maintained their sobriety. I will be there one day if nature doesn’t take me out first.
Not gonna lie it’s so inspiring to hear about guys like you getting sober. Every time I hit an alcohol relapse it’s hearing these stories that reminds me of you guys can do it than so can I.
Thanks for sharing! Very relatable ❤ I was in the same boat, 18-25 was a crazy time for me. Got sober right before I turned 26. 32 now and enjoying every minute of this beautiful sober life. Congrats
It took me a few bumpy years to finally stay sober. The bumpy years included going to meetings and rehabs etc. I eventually quit going to meetings, they kept me around fellow addicts and hearing the war stories or befriending one of the other guys eventually led me to relapse. I had to quit all my former friends. They weren't changing and I needed to. I white knuckled it as he says, and I stabilized and my brain got back to its normal state after a year or so. Then eventually the urges and cavings went completely away another year or so. You can only get sober if you truly want it. My first few years of trying I didn't truly want it. Once I did, the hardest part of getting sober was done. I also took up video games, and now unfortunately I'm addicted to that. However it doesn't make me do stupid things that could get me in trouble.
Ive been sober since the departure of 2020 , alcohol is a dangerous drug ! It will haunt you till it drops you in life! Be strong and overcome the temptation. Very good words of wisdom from this dude's.
Love the sobriety clips. March 21st of 2011 was when I got clean. After 4 forced rehabs I decided to go to rehab on my own after being homeless and hitting my deepest rock bottom. Now almost ten years later my life couldn’t be better. Just had my first kid December 21 2020 and been with my wife for 5 years. Sobriety can be awesome. It’s just what you make of it
Not an addict but after watching all these interviews with Steve-o I decided to quit drinking about a month ago. It's been interesting to see the changes in my sleep, mood, energy and anxiety. Even from just cutting out a few during the week and a night out on the weekend has made all the difference in the world.
He was speaking on rewarding himself with that drink after he felt like he accomplished enough for the day.. is good he quit there because that’s the stage right before you just don’t give a fuck
I'd say you can go through the stage where you didn't quite get done with enough but you ARE going to drink. And the stage where weekends become a 12 pack a day minimum but none during the week. For me just not giving a fuck never really starts until I start drinking to kill the hangover. The recovery difference from 3 nights drinking where I had a solid 12 hours of sobriety and recovery every day while drinking gallons of water and eating 3 meals compared to the recovery from 3 days of just never letting myself get sober is where the risk/reward of getting SUPER fucking sick for a couple days vs maintaining drinking a double shooter every few hours and pounding at night to sleep, actually becomes a thought in my mind that sounds logical.
i got sober when i was 28... i spent over 12 + years being addicted to drugs and alcohol, and lost alot of opportunity! Once I found out i was having a baby on the way, i changed my life around, no rehab, or steps or stuff like that...and now 5 years later, i'm in a great place in life!
I am currently addicted to cocaine and it has been rough recently. I have no family and friends to help so it’s all in my hands to change myself. Finding the way to sober up is difficult for me and humbling at the same time. I hope that everyone else dealing with this has positive results and finds the way to clean themselves up. I love you all and we deserve NOTHING but the best if we dedicate our lives to bettering ourselves
That’s the toughest thing about addiction, the mental aspect of it. The physical withdrawals are horrible but the mental withdrawals are the worst. It’s Fkn torture. All the physical & mental pain you’ve been blocking instantly re-appear with vengeance. Deciding to let that pain back into your life is a huge decision & I believe why most people relapse
Sheckler man you’ll prolly never see this but thank you for talking about this! A lot of us out here don’t got balls like that, I Love all Skateboarders!
Dude great for all of you being sober and enjoying life! Life is crazy on its own! I’m 25 and feeling it’s about time. We only have so much time on earth, might as well remember it! Cheers 🍻
Hell yeah man! Sobriety can only work when you are really determined to take that step to improve your life. Things will get tough, but it's always for the best. Good luck on your journey.
Struggling rn with being an alcoholic because of a multitude of things but its like...the hardest thing ive ever dealt with. Crazy how people just feel so happy without substance. Or happy in general tbh.
Saw Ryan skate in person years ago at a Hard Rock skate comp in Vegas. He then became me and my brothers favorite skaters cause he was still ao young kinda felt like he was us in a way. But glad to hear you want to handle your hard feelings. Im 24 now and also had to put the brakes on my drinking. Respect
I'm currently 2 days sobor.....it's definitely way harder than i thought it would be. Doing it solo is pretty difficult. But im going for that SOBOR ENERGY
you can do it bud. Whenever you're in your feels...go for a light run. It boosts your seratonin levels and will help with the negative feelings 100. Works for me.
Yoooo I am so STOKED to hear him talking about having a sponsor and working a solid program. AA saves lives. 🥰 if you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse of any kind - hit a meeting. AA will love you until you love yourself. ❤
There’s that dog that you saved man that is so cool you actually did bond with that dog and hang with it every day that dog loves you forever and ever that’s the coolest thing you ever did
I stopped getting drunk two years ago to the point where I can enjoy 3 beers in 3 hours. I call myself the 3 beer queer and it’s cool 🤷♂️ goodluck out there to anyone getting sober you feel better and think clearly when not drunk. And you save money. I spent a lot of money on drunk shopping
Ive had little to no alcohol since end of April last year. After having my 8th brain surgery, I just figured now was the time to start recovery both from surgery and alcoholism having a month off of work. Couldnt be any happier, I love waking up feeling great each day and actually remembering how my nights end. For the most part it was fun while it lasted but the bottle had a tight grip on me for the past 3 years. I still be drinking even after bars close and get home to continuing the madness until i passed out the next morning, Thankfully that's all behind me and intend to keep it that way
Stopped shooting dope just over 5 years ago hardest thing ever but im so grateful now. Im also grateful i went thru it as fucked as that sounds cuz it made me who i am today
Find God my man! Hang in there. Read the New Testament. The gospel. Matthew mark luke and John. I’m not saying it’s a cure. But it’s the beginning of your new life.
Yo Evan, hang in there dude. I didn't hang it up until I was 39 and felt like it would never happen. Definitely recommend hitting 12 step meetings regularly for a while then modify things from there. If you wanna talk privately, just lemme know. Overall, just know you can do it.
Great podcast guys! I can already see in the comments that speaking on these topics really can make a difference as many of us have looked up to you our entire lives. I’ve been a marijuana addict for 9 years and I just made the switch to CBD 4 days ago, with hopes to quit the plant for good. I already feel 10x better but every day is a struggle to not buy more.
I'm at a year and a month sober. And i'm 28 so I can definitely say that I am very happy I did it and wish I had done it sooner lol. Very relatable clip
I don’t feel as crappy now finally getting sober at 30. These guys did it around that age and Ryan Sheckler is a G I mean come on what kid that ever picked up a skateboard didn’t look up to him. Respect. ❤️
The clips about addiction and sobriety are some of my absolute favourite moments on any show, ever. Love seeing people be able to be open and honest about their situation, thanks stevo! 🤗
I got sober last feb 2 on my birthday so today marks a year !! 🥳

I love the positive vibes and honest feedback. Promoting selfcare is badass.
Respect to him for being so open and honest about this. He's right that he definitely has a lot to offer the world.
Thought they would talk about Steve-O being sober. Didn’t realize Ryan was an alcoholic. Good to hear he’s sober.
I'm not an addict or anything but being sober is the best state of mind. It really is.

More than just booze mate
@@chetchelios7614 what else?
Usually alcoholics drink when they wake up not "after 4pm" but whatevs
@@chrishandsome4267 I live in the same area as him and know people who used to party with him and the amount of cocaine was insane to say the least
I love to hear celebrities talking about this. Alcohol and drugs doesn’t care what your background is and doesn’t discriminate.
Alcohol sounds alright!!
Steve-o has been a huge help for me getting sober... If he can get sober anyone can... Much love brother!
So, true. Good luck Brother.

Sober is nice after being addicted to opiate pills from age 14 to age 29. Thank God. I feel way better now than ever.
How long have u been sober?
Congratulations 🎉 I’m still trying
How long before you felt okay
Five years and always say to myself every morning “just for today”
my man. i got year and a half
Who remembers watching life of Ryan on MTV
Life of Cryin
@@newbutthunt life of lion
I remember what life was like....
I'm so glad Ryan came back. I love hearing someone work a good program. Meetings, Steps, and Community. Congrats and thank you for sharing.
I'm so proud of Ryan! And, Ilove how much Wendy loves her dad and Steve O loves her!
One day at a time. My old man used to tell me, "keep doin what your doin n you'll keep gettin what your gettin". ✌
I got sober at 23. Coming up on 3 years.
Congrats keep going brother!
That's sick mate - what's the most notable changes you've noticed?
I have a lot of respect for Sheckler.it was almost inevitable that he'd get caught up in the partying - glad he got it togther.
Loving these interviews Steve-O! You have a gift here...
Im exactly the same. Wake up every morning with the best intentions, but by about 4pm all i think about is drinking.
Yeah ryan's description of addiction is spot on
I feel you
Same bro, never ending loop it feels like
I love Ryan sheckler man like for real I’m not just a ‘new’ fan, I’ve followed him since been a kid all through his younger years and years of dominance in the xgames etc and wow, the respect I have for the guy on and off the board is unreal.

This is the most down to earth I’ve ever heard Sheckler be.

Anyone else just staring at the look of love on doggos face?! Big congrats to all the sober people too! You got this!
I got sober at 30 & it will be 10 YEARS in July with out a drink!!!
This is real sobriety talk, right on!! People benefit when we share our experience. Thanks guys!!!
I have more respect for Ryan in the past 3 minutes then I did for the whole of his pro career.
Good stuff Ryan.
Love the honesty

Thank you for sharing your struggles in life! We all have them...
The look on steve os face when skeckler tells him he relapsed smh... Steve o is devastated
crazy i stopped drinking a whole month ago, and for someone who drank a lot that’s pretty damn good!
Stay strong man I wish I was as strong as you
Keep it goin💪
I love how they just let him talk. Such a great interview. Keep it up Steve O. This makes me want to be sober and not drink. Especially since I’m 44.

Day one for me! I love Steve-O for what he's doing... Not all heroes wear capes
I've strated getting sober at the age of 23 and I've never been more "allround happy" in my life
I like the fact Stevie let’s his guest talk and he listens. Hard to find that these days man. Congrats to everyone sober on the show!

Also look at how happy that dog is
I've been down that road I was lucky enough to have family and friends to pull me back still trying to keep it together but push forward everyday
I’m 29 turning 30 in may. Been sober for 2 weeks. Feel great. Taking it one day at a time. Being sober is cool. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
I'm not sober because I learned to be responsible. It wasn't easy but I mastered it. Thank you Lord .

Sobriety is a life long journey. I’ve been clean 10yrs next month and it’s still hard ❤️
I needed to hear that. Thank Steve and Ryan.
late to the party but hearing u guys talk about it made me feel better about pursuing it

Stopped shooting dope just over 5 years ago hardest thing ever but im so grateful now. Im also grateful i went thru it as fucked as that sounds cuz it made me who i am today
Sheckler was always someone I looked up to! No idea he struggled with alcohol really cool of him to open up!
hes a role model bro i sense him being genuine
Steve o rescued dog is in pure peace 💙
I don't even know what happened to me but I want to be sober and happy and that's so difficult.
same where did it go wrong
Change who you hangout with stay away from situations being around it hang with people that don’t drink that’s what saved me 13 months sober👌
Find God my man! Hang in there. Read the New Testament. The gospel. Matthew mark luke and John. I’m not saying it’s a cure. But it’s the beginning of your new life.
I need to get sober I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 27 now I’m 37 shits hard to quit !!!
Yo Evan, hang in there dude. I didn't hang it up until I was 39 and felt like it would never happen. Definitely recommend hitting 12 step meetings regularly for a while then modify things from there. If you wanna talk privately, just lemme know. Overall, just know you can do it.
Hear ya man not alone b just try slowly noone to talk but have done alright like day or two In last 2 months

Hi Steve-o, would you be willing to make a playlist of your videos related to drugs and sobriety? Thank you :)
dude has contributed SO much specislly skate.. and all three of these bros, i jumped on early 18 but im 29 now ahit
This opened my eyes.
You do drugs and party when your young.. Then you get older and wiser , and you start realizing drugs suck..then you change your life for the better..
not everyone realizes that unfortunately
Congratulations bro !
Quit drinking in October of 2019. It is quite the rad journey from a to b. Yeeeaaahh dude!!!
Sheckler is the man!
So strong. Keep it up!
Ryan Sheckler's a real dude. Seems like a good guy.
