Josh Duhamel Wants To Get Sober | Wild Ride! Clips 

Seeing the smile on Steve Os face as soon as he started talking about wanting to be sober says so much about Steve's character. He's so genuinely happy to hear somebody want to help themselves and better their lives that he has no choice but shit eating cheesy grin. Super dope

I can either drink to excess, or be totally sober. I just have no ability to moderate. I get that first one in me, and my body screams "MORE! NOW!"

This the conversation I will send to everyone who starts questioning their drinking with me because I am 7.5 years sober… It’s not the stopping drinking that changes your life it’s the dealing with the issues that drinking is numbing. This explains it SOOO WELL!!! Thank you 🙏 ❤

God bless Steve O. Helping more people than he knows

never thought i’d be listening to steve-o for sober advice. lol. love it. what a legend

Josh really describes his feelings and thoughts so well

27 years of sobriety has brought more gifts than imaginable. I’m 62 and healthier and happier than anyone else around me. Greatest and most empowering decision of a life time. It’s like having a secret to the gift of longevity. Such freedom.

The clarity that comes from not drinking is amazing.

I really like the person Steve-O has become. It’s good to see that he is reaching his potential and putting good into the world. I wish more people would/could do this.

Credit to Josh here. It isn't easy for a celebrity and a public figure to divulge this stuff publically. Media picks up on this shit and runs with it. I'm sure just as a person he knows Steve-O is probably someone really experienced with his own path from being completely and famously wasted all the time to being someone now famous for sobriety. So... Good on him for not holding back on this topic, knowing the cameras are rolling.

11 months ago I had the exact same feelings as Josh. I just wanted to take a break and explore life without alcohol. I can honestly say it was the greatest decision I ever made! Best of luck to you Josh. Keep up the good work!

That’s smile on Steve O face being 15 years sober is just so precious. And Josh’s admiration for it is just so cool to see. Ppl who have everything have the same problems as the rest of us

6 months alcohol free here, and probably the best decision I ever made. I'm 33 and started drinking regularly when I was 16. My brother was my drinkin' buddy all that time. After my brother passed away from an accidental fentanyl overdose, life changed drastically. I drank even more, but realized I was actually killing myself and finally put the bottle down for good. One of the hardest things I ever had to do, but it is possible! If you're trying to quit... good job!

Sobriety is amazing. Best thing I ever did! I have never regretted not drinking.

A lot of credit to Duhamel for opening up like this. I didn’t open up like this out of fear and my bottoms had to get lower and lower with each drunk before I addressed it and opened up to others.

2 years 2 months! Couldnt be happier. Steve o is one of my greatest inspirations to get sober. Thank you so much for all that you do ❤

Thanks for honest sharing. My liver had swollen enough that it was crushing my lung... Last October I got my 30 year chip.

Steve O your really doing great things while the world crumbles around us. No one would have predicted this. Hope to shake your hand someday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was going through a bout of heavy bingers and happened upon Steve-o's book, and his podcast. Thank God, it made realize anyone can get sober that truly wants to, and that life improves because of it. I am 2 weeks away from 1 year, and many thanks go out to a lot of people, but Steve-O thank you for the inspiration!

“What you resist will persist.” Powerful af.

so great to see how clear headed and thoughtful Steveo's always been but now we see it in full view. shows anyone can do it

This helped me think about my own struggles with alcohol recently. Thank you!

Trying to get sober myself. Its always awesome to hear stories of people getting sober and start being more than they were while they used. What ever the vice is. Rad!

This is 100% percent true. Really solid info between the 3 minute mark and 5 minute mark. The second u decide to stop drinking the obsession will get heavy but that’s when the program and support network comes in. So proud of you Steve. And proud of you Josh for being open about it. That’s the first step. I’ll be celebrating 4 years sober in July by Gods grace. Steve-O I can relate with your story as I was on a suicide mission myself. Everything and anything was what I took. We need more people with platforms like yourself stepping out and being transparent as there are more hopeless people out there than the world realizes. Keep up the great work Steve and I will hopefully meet u at a UFC. God Bless

This is beautiful. I really enjoyed listening to this. Josh was so upfront and honest and you guys have perfect advice and feedback to help him. I can 100% relate to this. Im a young fit normal guy and realised drinking was holding me back so i stopped and im doing as well as i ever have in life right now. Highly reccommend it.

This dude is exactly where I am. I never considered myself an alchy but then realized I couldn’t conquer the urge to drink a beer. I tried stopping cold turkey and can’t do it. I’m actually looking into AA now cuz I want to see what life is like with zero alcohol.

It's incredible watching this conversation in real-time. Thank you, Josh...what a hero!!!

As a friend of Bill W, I can easily day that Steve O is undoubtedly being an instrument to propagate the sober and clean life to Hollywood whom are also undoubtedly, influencers to teens, adults and a whole generation! This dude is the personification of the 12th step.😊

He def just gave a cry for help in real time. Great interview. Steveo handled it beautifully

mans literally said "done with her, too" hahahahahah

I've been sober for 34 years and I'm still operating at 60% my potential..at best! You can give up alcohol and still hate yourself, have no relationships and even be homeless. Mental illness will wreak havoc with your life, sober or straight!

Congrats to anyone out there who’s sober and good luck to those who are trying and still suffering

Awesome conversation…. I felt like I was there…. Sending love to anyone trying to quit… I’m in the process as well

I’m honestly so happy this video exists!! Steve O, you are the man!

If you watched Steve-o when they all came out in the 90’s you know that we didn’t even expect him to live this long…that’s how wild he was! To see him now with the growth and how he’s helped so many others get sober is beautiful and clearly his purpose. 🙏🏻❤️

Good observation of oneself. I myself am a recovering alcoholic going on 17 months sober. SteveO's my online sponsor, if he can get clean and sober so can myself. One drink was never enough.

Lol not Josh doing a slip up “done with her too”

The pain of discipline is better than the pain of regret.

Making the days in between drinks as long out possible has helped me a ton!

Never been a drinker because it makes me sad to see something so culturally pervasive and accepted ruin so many lives. It absolutely warms my heart to see people like Stevo rise from the depths and shine positivity in the most warm and genuine way.

I would never have thought to myself that the same person who use to staple his balls in the 90s would become a modern day sage helping people figure their path to sobriety in 2023! Gotta love Steve-O he really does seem to be a genuine person!

I'm 5 months sober and on my 4th step and have an amazing sponsor that has really helped me with so much!

this is the gift of sobriety. I want the hand to always be there. Good job guys.

My younger brother had struggled with alcohol off and on for years. he said, looking back over time, that when he started thinking about drinking more and more he originally knew he was in trouble. Some kind of switch flipped at someo point and, even he wasn’t drinking, he was obsessed with it

Needed to hear this to keep the fight going. I never thought I’d be thanking Steve O for blazing the trail for so many of us……it’s so cool.

The co-host with the glasses is really getting to him. And he's speaking truth(went through addiction myself, and will be celebrating a decade Dec 23rd), if he were out there he could really change lives that are seeking the help. Just seems to be hitting every note, and all ring true

His honesty is refreshing. Kudos sir. I have always loved this guy

Thank you, Steve-O for platforming Josh. He's such a great guy, & a very underrated actor. Josh, we wish you well in all your future endeavors, including sobriety.

Removing alcohol from my life has been the most liberating experience Ive had in my 53 years on this planet.

Hope to see more conversations with you all sharing with others on "How It Works". Your demeanor inspires me on how to have that conversation when "Working With Others" as you provide the "Attraction rather than Promote". Even with 30 years I love to learn.Thank you.

"next thing you know you're the same age as old people" so true

I have been sober for a while and around 15 years ago a business man came to our meeting and he just share that he didn’t know if he had a problem, successful, married, beautiful children, but something was off, he did the work he stared helping others and he still with us, great guy ❤

great conversation. there's always a reason behind drinking/drugs too much. boredom. loneliness.

I’ve never had a problem with alcohol. I’m fortunate to not have an addictive personality. After a recent covid bout I needed to clean my body. I went 6 months without a drink. I went to Cabo with my company, 20 dudes. I woke up early, swam and lived healthy and didn’t drink. It went against every grain in my body to not join the party. The feeling I had maintaining this discipline was unreal. I felt so strong, in control and it was euphoric. Saying not to my urges all day made me feel tough as sh$t.

For me, there were not any underlying issues that were making me drink. I did it just because I loved how it made me feel. I was just addicted to that feeling it gave me. But I have been sober now for about 1 1/2 years. I started seeing that I had that addiction and, being as stubborn as I am, I didn't want it to be in control. I wanted control so I stopped. I was drinking tequila shots every night for years. For a time it was rum and coke but tequila, for some reason, just gives me a rush that no other alcohol does. So that's what I drank usually. I wake up each day feeling so much better than when I was drinking. That alone is worth it to me.

My great aunt lost decades...when she was old and came out of it she didn't remember her sister passed away over a decade earlier. it was heartbreaking 😢

Been sober almost 24 years. Haven’t missed it one bit. 😊

Josh Duhamel plays the main protagonist in The Callisto Protocol video game and it alone made me a fan. He has an awesome voice and really put his all into that voice acting/motion capture roll. I won't spoil the ending of the new DLC they just released but I will say his performance got me in the feels lol I need to check out more of his work because just the voice acting he did for this game and COD WW2 were super cool. I will forever see him as Jacob Lee, the pacifist pilot turned brutal alien/zombie demolisher in Callisto Protocol.

This really gave me a lot to ponder -- thanks for this really valuable conversation

One thing nobody talks about..... if you start having an issue with addiction, most of your friends are afraid to say something about it. Don't be afraid to speak up to help your friends out with addiction......... most likely they have been wanting help long before you noticed an issue. These gentleman have true courage to talk about this and even more to take control of their own lives. Anyone that can stay sober is an incredibly strong person!

I love his raw honesty

been drinking non stop man, videos like these give me a glimmer of hope

this felt very organic, i think Steve could genuinely do alot for people in the world of rehabilitation if he approached it correctly. As long as he remains open and doesn't act holier than thou.

Almost four months sober. I want to write to Steve-O just to tell him he was an inspiration for me and I listen to his podcast a lot. He helped me realize what being sober could be and unfortunately Bam Margera is someone I am afraid to become. I was a black out drinker who made an ass of myself every time I drank. Once my liver and pancreas started to ache constantly I decided to get help and I am doing okay I guess. One day at a time and scared to go back.

There’s different levels. If you start questioning that you might be but like he said aren’t “falling over” that doesn’t mean your aren’t an alcoholic. I’ve had times where I was an ass to people because I was drinking. I also drink excessively sometimes to make myself feel better. I don’t do that every night and sometimes I go weeks and weeks without drinking, but doesn’t mean I don’t have a drinking problem 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have over 20 years of sober! I pray for everyone here.

take a shot every time stevo talks about being sober

It’s amazing listening to Steve o, such an inspiration ❤

Thx. 4 days sober myself. I’m gunna commit this time

I'm alcohol free for 3 years. What I always tell people who think about quitting, is it doesnt hurt to try cutting it out for awhile to see what its like. I feel so much better being Sober. Never have to worry about driving through a Check Point, or how you will get home. You are in full control of your life then. Listening to the rest of the clip. They said eat sweets when you have an urge. I say find something healthier because when I quit I gained 50ish pounds from sweets. That quickly evolved into me loving sweets. And not drinking so figured I can get the desert at dinner now. Now I have cut that out a lot and have lost 50ish pounds again. Saying that its scary to think you might never have a drink again. I agree. I still say that today, I sometimes catch myself saying wonder if I could handle this better now. But never progress to thinking maybe I could. So far I havent even come close to thinking about it more than just asking the question to myself.

I went through all of the same mental acrobatics as Josh. Never ever having a drink again seems ridiculous but also I hate drinking every night. Ultimately I just stopped.

2 weeks sober. I was hitting the sauce so hard 12 pack a day for years. Shaking sweating anxiety like crazy. I feel good now.

I thought I may have a problem so I quit cold turkey. I wasn't a regular drinker but when I DID drink, I went for the record. It was really easy for me to blackout at that point so I quit. Two months later Mom died right before Thanksgiving. We put her in the ground and had Thanksgiving the next day. I didn't touch a drop for six more months after. I don't drink much. Randomly have a beer with friends or in the jacuzzi, but I have bottles for months on end without touching them. Maybe I was being too careful.🤷‍♂️

HEY STEVE THANK YOU THIS EPISODE..........BECAUSE OF THIS EPISODE I AM DONE IVE BEEN CLEAN FOR TWE WEEKS BUT JUST HEARING TO SURRENDER TO IT GOD BLESS YOU BRO YOU JUST SAVE A HUMANS LIFE

Beautiful honest interview love Josh more

Oh man Josh, I am having the same issue as we speak. A few glasses of wine a night because I enjoyed it. For 10 years! 9 months ago I got very sick and after a few sips of wine I’d start to get a migraine, and it would last 2 days. Yet I’d still do it. (I even had 1 white claw last night and am sitting on my deck this morning nursing a migraine.) Then I’d stop for a few days and all I could think about was that glass of wine at night. Then I’d have one and migraines all over again. I’m slowly gaining control of these craving. And, I’ve found I have to stay away from chocolate at night. The sugar makes my heart race and I sleep like shit. I’ve realized since I’ve cut waay back that man, I’m boring when I don’t drink. It’s like I’ve died and been reborn and am trying to figure out who I am all over again. I need a cabin on a lake like Josh and just go fishing all day and grow my garden as a way to distract myself from everything that makes me want to grab that wine.

I love his honesty.

Alcohol is chemically addictive, as well as habit forming. It's normal to want to drink more after having a drink. Just the way that drug works. And I feel what he's saying. Working on reducing my intake and dealing with my stress in a healthier way. It's tough!

Problem drinker here 👋 Did 12 months last year, then drank again cause I thought I had changed or gotten on top of it. Nope, I drank even more. Gave it up again around 60 days ago. Feeling much better now knowing maybe it’s not my thing anymore

Beautiful podcast, very helpful ❤

only been sober for 100 days but i feel no need to turn back. i got to that point stev-o says it got so bad that it could no longer continue, so i had to address it. "I was outta gas and at the end of the run". Same bro.

Almost 5 years sober, and he’s right, I’ve transcended who I ever was before and thought I could be.

I Love watching the moment he says "maybe I do". Yes, us alcoholics can be quite functioning individuals. If Josh is to follow a path of sobriety, perhaps it started here.

Man, dude nailed it when he said you wanna quit but you tell yourself you wanna quit but you wanna wait until this event or that event, that's been me for awhile and then you just proceed to put it off.. I'm on day 3 and battening down the hatches to commit and follow through.

I love steve. I think he's just an awesome dude and I'd love to just have an in person convo with him

He’s ages so good

98 days sober! Feels great!

I rather go through life thinking I’m an alcoholic than trying to convince my self I’m not

You have to accept the cravings as an annoyance you have to acknowledge and not react to it. It's like having a toxic boss you have to ignore at work. You WANT to punch him in the face, but you acknowledge that feeling and redirect your energy somewhere more positive.

A normal drinker doesn't have a " sugar free Red Bull Vodka"... Dude. I've commented twice. One day at a time. Keep Coming.

Beautiful....love CNN step out of their ego and shows strength warrior vibes appreciate it love it!

Love this! So true!

Here’s how to get sober listen to my fathers story, I didn’t realise he was an alcoholic until he went into hospital during his 70s, lovely chap who drank a bit of cider all his life. When he came home after a few days he was on the dts and manic, he was phoning me to go and buy him cider while he was bed ridden when I was outside the house working on the farm, I refused and we got him sober during the next month. I then took him to the local town for a ride out as he’d got better, first thing he did was go into a store and buy bottles of spirts, cider, etc before food and he hadn’t drunk alcohol for a month, that’s when I realised what a drunk was ! During the following years he never drank again but his kidneys were f#cked and had to have a catheter fitted and every time that blocked he was in unbelievable doubled up pain and every time he would say I wish I’d never drunk alcohol. His later years were very painful and all due to the drink so do it in moderation or it will kill your later in life ⚠️

I'm 37, I've never been a fall down drunk type.. I still haven't missed but maybe a handful of days since 2008 not having some type of alcohol. I want to quit and I'm at the point where I need to accept seeking help because so far I've been weak. Got a 4 and 7 year old that I need too be around for. Gotta figure out a way to kick my nightly ritual n' Man tf Up!

I hit a very similar spot in my life where I wasn't sure if I was an alcoholic but in the back of my head thought I had a drinking problem. After talking with a friend who was in recovery said "usually if you think there might be a problem, there is"

The im not a heavy drinker but I like to have a drink every night line lmao

You can only quit if you want to. You have to truly want it and you will do it. If you have ANY doubts, you won't quit.

"Eating soup with a fork" great line

11 and a half years sober and I could listen to Steve-O and crew talk about sobriety all day. It's like going to a really good meeting.

"I was out of gas at the end of the run." Lol I know the feeling! 😅
