I doubt this comment will ever make it directly back to you Steve-O, but I have to say I have been watching all of your clips over the past couple of days while detoxing and trying to get myself clean enough to enter a 12 month program here in New Mexico. Listening to all the successful recovery stories has really helped give me the strength I needed to get to this point. I finally have enough drugs and alcohol out of my system to be accepted at 4 PM this evening. I just wanted to say before I lose my phone for a while, thank you man! Your success is an inspiration to a lot of people like myself, wish me luck brother and keep the clips coming man I’m looking forward to catching up when I get out on the other side of this *update in the comments below*
I met Jason waaaaay back when Jay and Silent Bob barley came out at Magic Mountain. He sat down with me and my family and gave us an autograph. Then other people started coming to our table and he was giving them an autograph. He was super cool and chill. Later on the day we saw him again and he was with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
For real. I’ve always wondered if all the big celebs that like to get high can have like a “drug guy” assistant that takes care of all that. I’m sure some of them do, especially A listers.
I see Jason Mewes around LA more than any other "celebrity". He lives near me and always has a nervous energy about him whenever I see him. I hope he's all right.
So happy for Jason. Anyone that has dealt with the beast can only be happy seeing someone getting better. Sending you guys love and light, wishing you much love and happiness in your years to come. 💛
I really want to get sober and listening to jay is really inspiring. One of the times I was in rehab my best friend brought me Kevin Smith’s book to read and it was one of my favorite books I ever read. I’ve always really loved and admired Jason and Kevin growing up.
Hey man. You got this. Youve already put it out there so now reach out to an A/A group or and N/A group that can also help you get clean and stay sober. Got 14 months and it was multiple substances. You got this dude stay true and stay smileing.
Find stuff that keeps you inspired, it totally helps. And find as many tools as possible to help withdrawal. Being malnourished makes it so much worse so get healthy somehow, or just fed. Maybe get on methadone or Suboxone for a few weeks or months. No longer, you’ll get stuck on it. It’s still better than heroin or any dope, but the best way to remain clean is total abstinence. Which can take a long time to recover from, and you may never fully recover. But you’ll feel a million times better than you do now. It’s a tough road, but it’s so worth it. I have 5 years clean from shooting heroin and meth and Xanax and crack and blah blah blah for 10 years and it’s different for everybody but i promise you it’s SO worth even a year straight of misery. Good luck, man.
As a former heroin addict I can at least explain why I never offered heroin to anyone: I never had enough for myself, and I would never share that fucking sickness with anyone I care for.
@@ArielBojorquez no it's hell .... This coming from someone who has spent to large a portion of my life chasing a good feeling that never came and trying to numb the bad ones that always came back... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
@@ArielBojorquez Yes, the 'opiate feeling' is pretty universal, heroin is just an overwhelmingly strong/pure version of it. That's part of why it pulls you in. The other is the physical withdrawals if you stop. Wouldn't recommend it! Lol
@@ArielBojorquez my best friend told me after 2 days in a row he wasn’t going to do more and put it away….until he felt that withdrawal and had to do another bump. 1 g lasted 4-5 days at first and then 1g a day in months after the habit took over. In rural Canada it was $200/G, so you get the idea…
i feel like steve-o is actually bringing a huge amount of attention and awareness to addiction with this podcast, without making it the obvious focus of the podcast. It's actually stuff like this that does the most good because it shows the world the reality of it without trying to dumb it down so the average non-addict can digest it. But the real value is in the success and failure stories these guys share. the stories give addicts a real hope by showing that their idols went through the same struggles and remained worthy of your adoration. "if they can go through what i am going through, get through it, and come out of it in a way that I am still a diehard fan... maybe i can at least get myself cleaned up" is a powerful mindset to put someone in, so never lose sight of the good that you are putting into the world for people who really need it most
Love Jason! I will never forget Kevin’s daily writing on Jason’s story - which he posted on MySpace. I waited for each new “post” because the story was so compelling! What an amazing story of recovery (for you both)! It’s so good to ascend passed that! Much love to you both!!
Sadly theres people who dont like that he is more mature now and also sober. funny enough many of those same people bash bam margera for still doing drugs and bein crazy
I love Jason! It breaks my heart he went through that. He is an important part of my teens and 20s. I'm glad to know that he has love and support, he deserves that
As A former addict im sympathetic to both Steve-O & Jason for their journeys. And sooooooo glad they're both still here with us today! Have loved you both for many years! Keep up the great work!!
Much love to Jason, his family, and friends for his addiction journey. I have way more respect for him considering the measures he has in place to keep him in check from falling into bad habits and glad hes thinking about his family first.
It’s so fucking amazing to see both Steve-O and Jason happy, healthy, and clean. It just makes me so fucking thrilled and gives me all of the warm fuzzies because for a good, long while there, my husband and I were really concerned that both of them would die soon. We even went out of our way to buy signed merch by Jason because of that worry.
Yeah but imagine being such a loser of a man you cant even manage your own money and dump all the responsibility onto your wife. And somehow this sorta beta schtick is celebrated. Jason Mewes is a pathetic excuse for a man.
I think one of the things about Jason, and I'm just speculating...but he got famous for playing a stoner, and when your public persona revolves around substances, everyone is going to want to get high or drunk with you. I think if you sort of pigeonhole yourself that way, then it's that much harder to get on the right path, so kudos to him for getting through that. I hope he can stay clean.
As someone speaking from experience, once you start messing with opiates and heroin, you will just be all by yourself all the time. You start avoiding other people like the plague, partly because you're ashamed and don't want others to know, but mostly because drugs become your main focus. Being around other people (especially "normal" responsible ones), will just hinder your ability to live in your little drug-fueled bubble. Jason was an amazing guest and I'm so happy to see Steve-O crushing it with these podcasts.
Not everyons brains are wired the same some people get one taste and need more and will never be satiated no matter how much more you do... That being said drugs don't have to win but you have to be ready to fight them on a daily basis.... I have empirical evidence that "We do recover"
@@TheBlkcat13 that's so awesome, im rlly happy you overcame it & i truly admire you for making the decision to go through it & get out it. Im still struggling with my own demons constantly & putting most if not all my effort into finding the best route to finally be able to say im truly clean. Its obivously not enough if im still at where i am but i want to atleast try my best to leave this life.
@matcus corpez no worries just remember 1 day at a time ... Do whatever you have to do... in the end it's your life you will be saving! Try walking into a 12 step meeting and raise your hand. Tell them that you are struggling and need help and keep doing that believe me you will be amazed at all the help you will receive. We can't do it alone the more clean people you surround yourself with the less likely you will fall off. Let the people get to know you they will hold you responsible for your recovery and I remember feeling like I didn't want to let them down that alone helped me stay clean some days.... Just don't use today and you will be clean tell yourself that you can use tommorow..... Just remember when you wake up its today again tommorow never really comes .... Remember we believe in you because someone believed in us when we walked into those rooms broken and sick no matter what your story is we have been and probably have done worse so just be open honest and trust us as foreign as those things sound to an active addict we aren't here to judge and if someone does you don't need them in your support group tell em to call their sponsors..... Have faith
17 yrs being an active addict.. been 3 months off not sure if I'm still shaking it off or if I'm just changed in many ways forever simply appreciating life for all its awesomeness that I discover being sober.
I love hearing Jason Mewes talk about his wife and finances because I'm the same way with my boyfriend. I'm a recovering opiate addict and now at this point in my recovery unlike you need to deal with my finances as well... Any Safeguard you can put up to prevent relapsing is a good thing
Especially easy for stevo in this case where he's also had a monstrous drug problem in his life time as well. So he knows exactly the stages of shame and embarrassment it can bring in coming to grips with it and recovering and lived through them himself. So he definitely saw the signs he had once felt and wisely segwayed it.
I am over a year sober and these clips really help me out with sobriety. It’s not really glorifying stories. It reminds me of bad times but in a way that I don’t feel like shit.
Well imagine being sober and now able to remember all the dirt bag shit you possibly did while using. Walking down that memory lane probably isn't a stroll in the sun ya know what I mean. One memory triggers another. Shit gets heavy quick, those are the emotions addicts desperately avoid
@@donsolos 100%.. but if that’s one of his triggers it’s good it happened while he was there instead of around his ‘doc’.. plus it might give him some experience on how to handle it.
How? To me it was laughably depressing. Even dry dealing for celebrities is the same. You have a regular guy who has normal prices who doesn't show up until damn near 10 hours later and some times, the drugs are sketchy. You can get ahold of this pretty girl and when you hit her up, she's headcracking. Then they somehow show up at the same time and you want to cancel but feel bad for it. Same thing a guy buying 5 dollars of weed goes through. It's funny but existentially sad.
I was in Seattle when I met Afroman I was smoking weed in an alley way when he came out He said "That smells amazing" Little did he know I grew my own. Lol Been friends ever since....
So happy to see you guys sober and happy with your lives. I'm on my way to sobriety from opioids. Other than the methadone im on daily to keep me from using im 8 months clean. Cant wait to be free from the methadone as well. that will be when i really feel free from any and all addiction. Love you guys! keep up the great work and great attitude on life!
If you’re on Methadone you’re not not clean. Methadone is strong and gets you just as high if not higher than other opiates and opioids. If it’s keeping you stable, good, but try not to get your dose up to a ridiculous level and be ready for the misery when you get off.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I take minimum amount of Methadone n as long as u take it as subscribe n don't abuse it, u are clean. Ppl hate on MAT but it saves life's. Especially me n my hubby's n many more. Good luck with everything.
@@rayhaveman4886 Lmao did you stay up all night trying to come up with that one? Methadone literally isn't anywhere near clean. It's an extremely powerful opiate that will send you into painful withdrawals if you try coming off of it after being on it for too long, and if you don't already have a tolerance it gets you high as a kite. I wish OP well but he's not even almost clean, he's just using a daily crutch so he can avoid detoxing. Right now I'm saying the exact same things I've said to other dear friends with opiate problems, so you can save the "you must be fun at parties" crap lol.
Mewes has come so far! him and kevin have a podcast and the earlier episodes detail his entire life with drug addiction. Now i'm watching soft white underbelly and it's still so foreign and heartbreaking to hear what even "normal" people have gone through.
This is kind of a fascinating pair of people on a number of different levels. They’ve both got intense drug filled pasts and have emerged in the other side with huge sparkling white replacement teeth and a clean lifestyle filled with people that love them. Well done both of you. We’re all rooting for your continued clean success.
I remember reading a rolling stones book and they had doctors that would go on tour w them and give them whatever they wanted. I kinda always figured that was every celeb since then 😂
Keith Richards in his excellent autobiography, Life, warned to never try to replicate his legendary drug career. He said something to the effect, “You, as a regular person, could *never* get the quality of stuff that I could get”. Perhaps it was money, perhaps it was fame. Probably both. But there is a strata of drugs certain celebrities can procure that the layperson will never see.
this is only true to a point. China white is pretty much pure #4 Heroin HCl if you have the right source, and I, as a nobody, was given the oppotunity to spend LOTS of money on it. It didn't come delivered in a Rolls Royce Ghost or anything, but I guarantee I had at least as much in my spoon as he did....
Not true at all anymore although cost would almost certainly become an issue with chronic use; the internet has changed things forever. Also if fent was around back in the day Richards wouldn't even be around to show how out of touch he is.
I mean once you're rich and famous enough, I assume you'd just have your personal assistant score for you. Or have like an old buddy or someone you trust as a second "assistant" but really he's just the guy who keeps you supplied.
I feel like steve-o is doing a really good job of helping destigmatize talking about sobriety and helping people. Never used so I don't know how much this helps but it seems like it would.
I feel this interview on a real level. I've been a opiate/heroin addict since 05 and luckily only taken methadone the last 28 months working my way down as we speak it's been a lifesaver. But I used to take 40-60 10mg Norco a day and every third or fourth day all you could taste or smell was Tylenol from all the acetaminophen that I had taken inside the norcos. I would usually end up vomiting profusely that fourth day it got to the point where it felt like I was doing more damage to my body than just doing heroin. Although I never got into needles I always knew I'd end up dead if I did. I still overdosed and just about died due to two fentanyl laced bags of dope and have been clean in a program on methadone since the day after. It's a constant battle but gets easier with time
It takes a lot to be as open as you are about your past. I wish you the best in your journey and send positive vibes your way, good luck and keep it up!🍀🔥
I was hooked on fentenyl I'm on week 2 of being fent free. Kicking opioids especially heroin and fent is the worst feeling in the world. If new users were able to experience dope sickness before they were fully dependent on it I guarantee they would stop right away. No worse feeling then being dope sick
One of my best friends growing up made it big and became a somewhat famous music artist back in the late 2000's. His manager was his plug 90% of the time. If he was in the US, he would 'travel light' while on the road and score(third party)locally via plug's connections. If he was international, product would often be mailed in advance.
I first met Jay way back when Kevin Smith opened his Secret Stash comic store in Red Bank, NJ. I lived in town so we'd occasionaly grab coffee or see each other around. So stoked to see him clean and sober as I'll have 15 years since my last drink this August!
