Just passed 6 months clean and sober! I know what it's like to be at the bottom. Hopeless; Dying; Isolated; Hungover; Depressed; Suicidal. Destroying myself and those who love and care for me. Worst of all: not in control of myself. But that is not the end of my story. I now know what it's like to really feel alive. No more shame. The strength and confidence to know that I'm in control.

You don't really suffer from alcoholism UNTIL you get sober. Man, that one hit hard. Just because you remove the thing that you used to escape, doesn't mean the things you were escaping magically disappear. In fact, they're now front, center, and in focus. And the part about the worst kind of alcoholic being the one that isn't severe because time just slips through your fingers indefinitely with no must stop moment? Wow. That's real talk. Powerful stuff. SO much truth in 4 minutes.

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Thank you for sharing this point!

3:28 that was me, and it is horrible......because the pain is not severe enough to ¨force¨ you to realize that you NEED to quit. I used to drink my two bottles of wine every night, never drank during the day and never switched to the more hard core stuff. But those two bottles....were unavoidable. Many times I cried while drinking them but still didn´t do anything about it......... Woke up every day of my life (for 5 years straight) feeling hungover (I called it ¨I am not a morning person¨....) and got through the day doing very well professionally. So there I was...Plenty of money in the bank and most people looking up to me (they didn´t know the truth...) but zero energy, zero self belief, anxiety, self isolation, etc. After my divorce I started dating and had so many erectile problems because of being drunk/hungover/anxious that I lived like a monk for an entire year because of shame. That also did not trigger me into sobriety, nope. It´s like knowing you have a (big) problem, but not hitting rock bottom ¨enough¨ so there is always that excuse to drink ¨one more day¨. After 3 years of trying, reading, listening, doing whatever I could - and messing up more times than I like to remember - I finally managed to ¨create¨ my OWN rock bottom. My chosen rock bottom was that I was completely waisting my OPPORTUNITY to be the best person I can possibly be, for me - and most importantly - OTHERS. I had NO excuse not to....born upper middle class by luck; college degree; great childhood etc - so this opportunity was GIVEN to me by sheer luck, period! Most people on this awfully wrecked planet are born without even the slightest opportunity to simply survive in peace.. And there I was wasting my (given, not earned!) preferential life for no reason at all. Today, 5 year ago exactly, I had my last drink. Yes, the first weeks were tough, real tough - not gonna lie. But the end result??? Holy sh"t........ Steve-O is right!!! I am a MUCH better person than I EVER was before even touching alcohol. Kind, relaxed, energized, clear headed, supportive, and overal just being happy for the craziest little things like seeing a bird chirping in a tree.

My advice as an alcoholic. People think that you must only deal with the alcholism but forget to deal with the thing that makes you drink. When you drink, he reminds you of it but you can't deal with it when you drink. If you don't deal with it, you will find it hard to not drink again.

But if it's low grade annoyance but not totally life wrecking, you keep doing it. So having it BAD is really good because you take action.

Steve o helps a lot of people who struggle. Well done mate

I can completely relate to this. My alcoholism was so bad that I had to get sober at 30 because there would not have been a 31. I’m glad it was that bad because I got to get sober while I was young and be able to have a life. A lot of people aren’t so fortunate and I thank God everyday that I was pulled up from that hell. Alcoholism is no fucking joke,

I’ve been sober for a little bit over a year now. I’d like to say that I stopped on my own volition, but it would be a lie. Not only was I having seizures around that period of time, but I caught 3 DUIs in 3 months. I hadn’t even resolved any dui in court by the third. Ive lost pretty much everything, and I took for granted. But i remember having this thought in jail: if you catch 3 DUIs in 3 months, you’re either terribly unlucky or you have a problem with alcohol. Im glad I never killed anyone, but I’m also at a place where I can’t delude myself into thinking I don’t have a problem with alcohol. It’s made it so much easier to not even consider it as an option to deal with life. It’s almost a relief knowing I don’t have that weight on my shoulders. That being said, it’s better to stop before you fall victim to the law or health problems. You also don’t want to lose family and friends over this. There’s only so much people can take. Use other people’s testimonies as a cautionary tale.

STEVE-O. Real talk.

It’s been a day since my withdrawal symptoms have pretty much faded, and I’m honestly really looking forward to the future. I’m not craving drinks at all, even walked past the liquor store and the beer aisle at my local grocery store and really thought nothing of it. And my life is still pretty much intact because I was a functional alcoholic, so really everything can only get better from here. I wish everyone else currently recovering well

Im now 25 days sober. I'm 34 and haven't been this way since I was about 15 years old. My brain is damaged from all the drinking I did for nearly 20 years. I'm optimistic, and I know this isn't an easy path. But I knew I couldn't keep doing this to myself anymore. Godspeed to all of us!

Steve-O is an inspiration to me.

I wasnt an alcoholic in the daily sense but ive had my share, well i decided to just go a year without it and i have. I didnt drink prior to last December for like 5-6 months. But im almost officially 1 year sober and almost 3 years of no cigarettes. I never really forced myself, it was kinda weird how i stopped drinking, I just decided to challenge myself, how long could i go just for the fun of it. As time went on anytime i thought maybe ill have one, i thought did i really need it? I already felt good as it is, what does beer really do except impair? I set the goal posts longer everytime for the fun of it.

Thank you❤ I'm going to rehab tomorrow.

Sober 2 years alcohol is the demon to me very hard to get off lost a 100k a year job but now have me own.

I was on a Bad binge. 40oz’s everyday for weeks. And I never knew how powerful it is until I stopped and I was shaking. It scared the hell out of me man. Went into detox and now I’m getting into a treatment Center. Got out of detox today and it’s definitely been a battle for me all day, especially when your just hanging out alone.

Goodshit.

I'm part of the group that has had it for so long that I have gradually let my life and opportunities slip through my fingers. I am approaching 35 years soon and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Tried quitting a few weeks ago and I'm right back in it again. I hate that I chose it over the more sensible decisions in my life. I need to stop - I cannot carry on like this!

I love how Steve shuts down the over asked question about depression and gives the most meaningful advice that a psychologist could never understand!

People pleasing is such a hard trait to break. It is connected alcoholism.

I like and agree with what he said at the end about how it can be a blessing to go hard and get it out of the way then play fake moderation and constantly be 1 step forward 2 steps back with alcohol long term. I finally have 18 days! This is my longest stretch in a couple years. Not missing alcohol!

I still feel bad for all the cast and actors of "Jackss" today. I remember watching a video on KZread A LONG TIME AGO! WAY LONG AGO. About 8 to 10 years? Where one of the Jackass actors drank way too much that one night and died. He crashed into a tree and full speed. RIP. Found his name. RIP, Ryan Dunn.

I'm sober from heroin , benzos and cough medicine for 7 years now and as a lifelong fan of Steve-O it's been great to see what a wonderful success story he's been , I love his podcast!

Steve-O looks really good. Glad he is where he is and doing what he is doing. Positive change agent.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

All the cursing in this honest and touching interview cracked me up, and the bleeping only made it more noticable

Upon watching this video, I was immediately greeted with an advertisement for whiskey. KZread can be callous sometimes.

The movie doesn’t end when the man gets sober, that’s where it begins

Congratulations on that four months! Think of it as an intro to your full recovery. You can do it again for sure, maybe next time for good!

Steve-o is the man! I am currently at rock bottom in my life, but by god if Steve-o of all people got sober I can get sober!

My brother passed at 32 from alcohol and suicide. Since my brother has passed my drinking has become a problem. Im 33 now going on 34. I am not one to ask for help , our father has been sober for 20 years now and he is one of my biggest role models when it comes to being sober and my brother has also been a role model for me not for his alcoholism but because he was a good human being and taught me skateboarding and being tough in this world because we never had a present mother. He lived with my dad all his life and I was with our mother who never wanted us, she never said it but kids arent stupid

"We will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it."

Im scared to stop drinking because im honestly not sure I have anything else to look forward to. My week at work is so stressful and overwhelming that I can't wait to gave a few hours to myself without any worries. But then i feel horrendous for the weekend and all of my motivation is zapped.

Ohh I never thought of these things this way. I’m at the worst type of alcoholism. Everting thinks I’m a normal person, and I know but I can’t stop it
