Hey man keep it up in my opinion the first 2 months is the hardest after that once or twice a month you might still get a urge to use but stay strong it's worth it in the end getting a metal sobriety chip is the best feeling
I see a lot of addicts in Steve-O’s comments working their asses off to get sober. Proud of y’all. That is a tough road and I’m rooting for you to stay on it.
I use to move weight for a guy, then I started using, it got so bad he cut me off and told me he wasn't going to watch me ruin my life, that I wasn't a junkie. He even called his crew and told them not to serve me no matter what I wanted. 11.5 yrs later he still checks in on me every few months. I am 11 yrs 8 months sober,, and he is now a youth counselor and runs an inner city youth ministry, crazy how things work out.
My story is so incredibly similar to Jason Mewes. Never stole, never went sociopath mode. Tried to be kind and maintain integrity. Much like Steve O, I had a dealer that wouldn’t sell to me until I went and had breakfast (that he paid for) at Denny’s. He was a real old black dude named Doug and he was always trying to get me to quit and get me on Suboxone. For a dealer, he genuinely had a heart of gold.
I was similar. Had a dual life. Married,house,owned my own business. But tight roped a severe addiction. Was horrible. Never did anything bad, but knew when to quit before the cost exceeded into my priorities. Scary to think of the money wasted for nothing. 3 1/2 years sober and so thankful to have that stress out of my life.
Some do have a nice heart. But a huge majority sell to pregnant women, young kids, parents who spend their kids food money on drugs. Alot have no standards and should be robbed and shot.
@@alangordillo1766 I was only 16 and i was taking a bunch everyday and getting drunk and doing lots of other drugs too, I ended up in the pshyc ward lmao but I was okay after it all wore off
I can relate 100% to what Jay said in the first 35 seconds.... Today had been one year from all narcotics and alcohol. I do still smoke a little pot but, I have money and I have my girl control mine too... I just know big sums of cash is a huge trigger for me, so I don't ever carry more money than I need for food,coffee,cigs,and pot(which is about $50 a week) which is nothing in comparison to what I'd spend a week shooting dope and living inside of a bottle. I'm so grateful for all the support I've had from family and friends. True friends. And honestly watching interviews with famous actors and musicians I love sharing their stories on recovery from whatever also helps a lot. I'm glad Jay got himself together. He's a funny and very nice guy. I met him and Kevin about 10 years ago and they were so cool. I live in South Jersey and it's a small state so they've done appearances at comic book shops and stuff...awesome guy.
Steve, I am glad you mentioned the fallout from the Dead tours. A friend got out a few years ago after a 20 year sentence for selling acid on a tour. Her boyfriend at the time was still in doing 25. Somewhere in the Mid-west. I had lost touch, but when I saw her is was so shocking. I am 59 and when she went in she was this young hippy chick, when she come out she is like this bitter angry old lady. So sad. The worst part is we had no idea back then. They got popped for taking it across state lines or some shit. It was all free love and fun following the tours, yeah...NOT.
I'm so glad I don't live in America. There's just way too much hypocritical Christian influence, and a justice system that constantly fails to deliver justice, or even safety, since many American cities are way more dangerous than cities in other Western countries.
Happened to me in 08. I was at a party and had scored some oxy, molly, and coke for a party (i wasnt into coke or molly, that was for the rest.) Anyway, they decided they wanted more drogas, so we drove back and at that point I was a couple bottles of robitussin and several oxys in, and apparently looked half dead or something and my dealer refused to sell me more drugs bc he didnt want me to OD that night
I'm in recovery right now I'm actually in a halfway house fresh from a long term rehab got about 180 days clean so far. These videos are great for my recovery just to hear there story's similar to mine so thank you Steve o and all his guests
@@polakdai I'm in a halfway house now but at rehab I was at they actually provided tablets to use while there during the day was really nice. Food was terrible there tho 🤣
@@williamchanninghall5704 Keep it up homie. That's impressive. Pushing 5 months clean from alcohol myself. I know it's been worth it for me, hope you're rewarded the same. Best wishes.
Jay use to chill in my area when he was battling addiction or whatever. Use to see him around a lot. He always seemed chill, never an attitude or anything. Glad you guys are doing well 🤟🏻
Tbh if he would have od'd there would just be another one and many people to follow but all respect to Steve o he's a legend man and has been through alot
@@bmoredrew4724 you said it. I’m one that also overcame addiction and seeing him so happy makes me feel like I’m there with him. Addiction and alcohol is not an easy evil.
Second. That happened to me where a dealer refused to sell to me bc he didnt want me to OD, and said it plainly ("bro, you're fucked up rn, I mean like way too fucked up man, you got me fucked up bro if you think Im giving you more. You need to lie down not kill yourself bro")
My DOC was Clone (synthetic marijuana), and they call it the green crack for a reason. Don't miss those days at all. June 4 I will be sober for a whole year
I knew a guy who’s dealer refused to sell to him regardless because he knew he had a problem. I remember hearing that story and couldn’t believe a dealer actually cared.
I remember like 15years ago i bought some speed and was at a traffic light i took it out to see if i wasnt ripped off and had itout abd looked to my left there was a cop staring right at me.there must have been a shooting cuz he hit the lights abd was gone😳🤣been clean and sober for 10 years
I used to do tons of acid. What Steve o said about the tolerance is SOOO true, not only would it not work but my buddy who did it with me and I had massive memory issues after repeated usage. Like, at some point, we couldn’t even complete our sentences because we’d forget and double tabbing did nothing
Same here, I used to do ungodly amounts of it, tripping every single weekend for a year straight. And I was doing big doses too, my minimum was 600ug every time, sometimes around 1000ug, I started to notice my short term memory slipping and realized it was time to stop. I still do it on rare occasions, buy only a couple times a year and I try to stick with smaller doses. The tolerance build up is crazy though, it's unfortunate all the other bad drugs don't work that way too, addiction would hardly be a problem if that was the case.
No cap in my addiction (about 21 months ago) all the drug dealers were scared of me because I went harder than all the drug addicts did. It was like a series of unfortunate events but I was able to change my ways & improve my life so I mean if I can do it anyone can… with enough determination & willingness to change for the better 🛸🧙🏽♂️✅
These guys were extremely fortunate to find rehab programmes that gifted hugely well-paid media careers to their patients as part of their treatment....
I ran into jay I think around the time of “strike back”. Ask him to sign a random book I had just cause it was the only thing I had to sign. We ended up talking about the book. Jay is a cool guy and approachable. I had one of my guys pull me aside and say that I had a substance problem and said it in a way that didn’t get my high ass back up. He said he would only do what he did once. I recently thanked him after stopping for five years clean. If someone does what that can to shake you out of bad ways make sure to thank them. It chocks me up thinking of this.
A friend of my husband's went to prison for this exact scenario. He had a large amount of lsd after a Dead show in Ohio and got busted. Luckily for him some high powered attorneys went to bat for him and got him out early. His story was actually in Rolling Stone back in the late 90s.
Most dealers are im gonna feed off your addiction and misery. Thanks for your money. Not the other way round. Im guessing he might be thinking about himself and money. You can tell me if I'm wrong.. . Great podcast again.
Yeah there’s different categories. My last dealer who’s an old friend too was one of those bad ones. Told him I needed a friend to talk to, he said “well I have meth if you want it” Still did me a favour though. Realized nobody left gave a shit in that world. Fuck that life.
I've had that happen to me as well in the past... my dealer was like... you need to eat something.... you want me to grab you some food on the way to your place? When he pulled up he had two chicken sandwiches for me for Burger King.... didnt even charge me for them lol.
Weird. Guess I didn't do enough acid. It always hit me and everyone else hard. Every time. Never heard of tolerance being a variable. From '91 to '95, I had some amazing trips. My favorite trip was a night time parachute from a plane, during a full moon.
I used to go to different coke dealers if got it twice in one day do they didn't think I was as bad as I was 😂 even lied and said I lost the bag after going back to a dealer a few hours later for more lol I laugh about it now but those were pretty tough times
I actually have had that happen several times and even to this day the guy prefers me sober as a person I'm clean as a result so I guess I should be thankful
Yeah, I had a dealer offer to take me to rehab and pay for it. He was like dude, I felt like shit taking your money up to this point but like, this is it. If you want to go, I'll take you right now. I turned him down, and I was honest, I said I wasn't ready. Took me another year and a half to be ready, but July 5th will be five months clean. Guy's dead now. He was the only decent human being I ever met during that time who tried to look out for me.
@@karmabad6287 I relapsed since making that comment, but I got back on the horse and had two months clean as of this past sunday. I'm actually feeling better about things than I was overall. I'm not perfect, but I'm working a program and doing my best with it.
Ya having a few books of acid and getting pulled over really sux!! or having a Vising bottle full of liquid LSD 25 and getting pulled over also sux.. good times back in the days..lol
