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!
Im about to be 36 and quit drinking at 33. March was 2 years sober. You can do it. The first 6 months were the hardest. I definitely had a drinking problem. Sorry for your loss bro. I just took it a day, week, & month at a time. Keep strong.
@@714milky Thank you! Good work on your sobriety as well. I know it's not an easy battle to fight!
@John Weatherman Thank you, John. Appreciate the kind words!
My condolences for you and you family. I was started hard drinking at 15 at 31 my dad passed and got bad for 5 years now only a week sober at 36 but feel way better after the dts
Really sorry about your brother
“Nobody who’s not an alcoholic ever wonders if they’re an alcoholic” so funny but so true! Steve-o is one of several people I consider a sober icon. I’m 640 days sober btw. Feels great to be alive.
well done I'm 3.5 years and counting!
Congratulations. You’re doing good, and you’re needed.
That's Awesome! I have 7 Years, 9 months. Best decision I ever made.
@@Chino780 Top man! One day I will achieve this time frame.
@@nothreewords You can do it!
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 also think it’s because he so used to those conversations now. I’ve been a part of the program for almost 10 yrs now and I swear I’ve had the exact same conversation with other people at least 100 times. It’s always awesome because when someone approaches you with this, they’re kinda reaffirming that we made the right choice.
@@pablocarrillo7484 I'm also an addict in recovery so I know what you mean for sure.
@@pablocarrillo7484 Beautifully put.
Sobriety is just his new addiction
weird because people who actually know him personally say he’s a pretty massive dick
never thought i’d be listening to steve-o for sober advice. lol. love it. what a legend
100%......I was like, I'm getting motivated by fkn Steve-o to sober up lol
Steve O and Brandon Novak and Bam is a mess it’s crazy
Cult advice
The zero judgement feels so natural too.
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!"
I don't drink but maybe once or twice a year, and it's almost always like, ffffffffff'd up drunk.. but I'm 6'3" 250 lbs so it takes a lot but I also feel like I handle my alcohol well when I do drink. I'm the guy at the end of a party giving out bottles of water and advil and multivitamins at the end of a party and I'm like "I wish I was this trashed." After drinking way more than everybody, then I usually end up just drinking water until I'm sober in a couple hours tops. I think a lot of it is just because liquor tastes like a** and I just want to drink until I don't care and then I keep going.
Same. It’s not the first 6 drinks. It’s the second 6 drinks… all gas no brakes.
Same here, work hard play hard.
Ozzy said it best: "One's to many an ten's not enough."
Same😢
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 🙏 ❤
💯
Alcohol and Xanax addiction seem so very similar. I'm not a drinker but I am a Xanax taker. It's a very necessary medication for those that need it, but it can be abused, like anything else.
one of my catch phrases after getting sober was "I realized I have a 'Thinking' problem not a 'Drinking' problem" It's self medication. A device to escape the monkey mind. Most of us didn't realize how much we were suppressing until it all came bubbling to the surface without an ability to press the "mute" button.
So true!
@@jiveassturkey8849 Xanax is so addictive its scary it definitely makes problems go away until the next day. Watch Jordan Peterson talk about it with Rogan you have to go through hell to get off it so people never stop bc you feel like "YUH DIEN" (KINGS OF LEON) White Knuckling becomes unbearable to the point where you explode on people and they cant realize the problem bc they never went through it so you hurt people around you. Its the worst. Switch to Valium bc memory loss isnt as bad yet valium is very addictive as well
My wife and I just hit 1 year sober last week. So happy looking bad on so many bad decisions I was making. I won't admit I was an alcoholic but I had a serious drinking problem. The urge to drink went away as soon as I felt proud to say I wasn't drinking. Happy sober parents for two wonderful children!
Congrats on a year.
you're not an alcoholic but you have a drinking problem?
Way to go! Proud of you and your kids will have both parents present in their lives!
@@SlayingMantis676 what? he said "i won't admit" implying he currently thinks that.
@@wintersolstice4793 i understand that, but if you fit the definition of an alcoholic you are an alcoholic, end of story,. im an alcoholic and a junky ive been to rehab and halfway houses, the label is important to fixing the problem. imo
God bless Steve O. Helping more people than he knows
Yes!
6.5 years sober! It's amazing how many problems are eliminated when alcohol is out of your life.
All problems are more manageable if you take them one step, one minute, one day at a time, it's amazing what keeping addiction in check can do for you after some time passes.
Additional thought here..I feel like peoples lives improve BECAUSE by managing addiction they become the best version of themselves and when you put your best self forward the world will meet you and good people and opportunities will be there waiting. I've been sober 6 years..i stopped going to meetings and i haven't thought about addiction in many years but seeing this video reminded me of all the awful shit I went through and I'm just overwhelmed to tears with nothing but gratitude for the life I have Today. The universe will provide, you just have to meet it halfway. Thank you for your comment Brother
The pain of discipline is better than the pain of regret.
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
Josh really describes his feelings and thoughts so well
Yupp .. he's an actor you gotta be in touch with your emotions
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.
My brother lost his battle with alcoholism last November. Despite all our efforts - rehab, counseling, you name it - we couldn't get him to accept the help he needed. Watching him slowly slip away was one of the hardest things we've ever had to go through. He pushed us away, and his health deteriorated so much that he could hardly walk because of his swollen feet and all the other health issues he was dealing with due to the alcohol. In his last years, he was in and out of the hospital so often it felt like a second home, until one day his body just couldn't take it anymore. He was home alone when it happened. My nephew got worried and asked a neighbor to check on him. The neighbor found him collapsed on the floor, called an ambulance, but it was too late. We lost him at 56 years old. Tragically my brother missed becoming a grandfather by just a few months. Both of his sons were expecting their first born at the time of his passing. It's heartbreaking to know that he never got to hold his grandkids, to see the next generation of our family. Thank you all for sharing your own experiences and having these crucial conversations. My greatest hope is that your openness will encourage others who are struggling to reach out and let them know they're not alone.🙏
Christine, may the God of your understanding grant you and your family a great peace. Now, and in the days ahead! ❤ Mark
Sorry you had to deal with that and I’ve been struggling a lot and how your brother felt must have been awful to deal with. Thank you for letting me see this because I know I’ve stressed my family out a lot with my abuse and it isn’t intentionally I just can’t seem to get a grip. I’m venting it just hurt me to know that I can be close
So sorry that you lost someone I know it was the addiction and not something else
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!
2-16-22 was my first day of my journey of being sober. We went to a concert that night and I was so hung over, still, from the night before I couldn't enjoy it. I quit cold turkey and never went back. I've never been happier. The first couple of weeks were tough, but after that the desire went away. I started drinking at 14 and still tell my kids it was my biggest regret in life. I quit so many times and would always fall off the wagon. The day I quit was finally the day I had enough. You can do it!
The clarity that comes from not drinking is amazing.
“What you resist will persist.” Powerful af.
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.
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!
Wow SteveO said something I've never heard anyone else say and it really resonated with me. He said some people never hit end-of-road bad so they continue to drink, and then those years slip through their fingers and then eventually turns into decades. I feel like this is me. Been drinking for 30 years... mostly beer, but last 6 years mostly whiskey. The pandemic had me drinking almost every night. I don't want to be a statistic, so I hope to quit. Prayers welcome.
Praying for you Marinator!👍🏼😇
From Marin ?
That laundry analogy is so simple but so true! You’d never think about every boring chore you will ever have to do for the rest of your life.
I love watching these!! I feel like I’m going to a meeting every time I watch one!! I love all things recovery related!! Thank you so much Steve-O! God bless you!🙏
It makes me so happy to hear someone confront this issue inside of them before it spirals out
Sobriety is amazing. Best thing I ever did! I have never regretted not drinking.
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
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.
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 ❤
2 years 3 months. God bless ;)
Lol not Josh doing a slip up “done with her too”
Thanks for honest sharing. My liver had swollen enough that it was crushing my lung... Last October I got my 30 year chip.
I have over 20 years of sober! I pray for everyone here.
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.
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!
Josh , only you can decide !
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!
His honesty is refreshing. Kudos sir. I have always loved this guy
Josh knows. His face by the end of this clip is all telling. One day at a time. ✌️
Sounds like big Joshy is waiting for someone to tell him the gig is up. His entire language around drinking and yearning for a higher potential is right there and he knows the answer
I’m honestly so happy this video exists!! Steve O, you are the man!
It’s so invigorating to see Steve-O being a true force in sobriety. He knows it all. Working on my own sobriety. Thank you Steve!!!! I love to see where you are! And more importantly I love to see your influence on others! Many prayers to you!!!!
I was a binge drinker for about 20 years. My body revolted one day. I was going to drink and my stomach just said no. I didn't get sick or anything my stomach just felt....full. so I basically stopped. I'll have a few with the boys on occasion but I certainly don't get wasted anymore. I feel a lot better and the extra money that doesn't go to alcohol is nice. Good luck on your journey
I think this is a very important message. If you can have the will-power to control your drinking, I dont think its a problem to have a couple beers after work. People seem to think that any alcohol intake is a foreshadowing of alcohol abuse, and that's simply not true.
I'm in my 40s and never been so bad with drinking. And it's true I want to stop just can't. But I have to say I love this talk between the guys. Very helpful
Same
Have you gone to any support groups or spoke to your doctor at all?
I'm 27 in the same situation. It's the nausea that gets me thinking all I gotta do is grab a buzzball and I'll be fine. It's keeping me from working and my bf is miserable thanks to me unable to stop. I'm afraid of hurting myself so I'm seeking that help, getting mental health rolling, reconnecting with my dad asking for help. I can't stop myself everyday It's another struggle against my own mind. Best of luck to you, it's wild how addictive the stuff is
This helped me think about my own struggles with alcohol recently. Thank you!
Thank you Steve-O for being such an inspiration. Like so many other people I was obsessed with Jackass and Big Brother, and fell victim to the party in my late teens and twenties. I'm 7 years sober now and to see these guys from my childhood become such monumental figures in being the best person you can be is so amazing.
I've never known much about Josh Duhamel but after watching this he seems like an interesting, honest and down to earth person.
SOBER 18 YEARS THE SINGLE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE..NOTHING BEATS REALITY
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.
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.
Congrats to anyone out there who’s sober and good luck to those who are trying and still suffering
Making the days in between drinks as long out possible has helped me a ton!
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.
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.😊
I like how he doesn’t break tradition like some of those yahoos
AA is a cult
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. 🙏🏻❤️
Awesome conversation…. I felt like I was there…. Sending love to anyone trying to quit… I’m in the process as well
It’s amazing listening to Steve o, such an inspiration ❤
this is the gift of sobriety. I want the hand to always be there. Good job guys.
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 really gave me a lot to ponder -- thanks for this really valuable conversation
Life is precious. Don't wait one more day. Today is the day to get clean & sober.
I love his raw honesty
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.
Everyone should watch “Steve O demise and rise” if you haven’t seen how unwell Steve O had got. It’s amazing what sobriety can do. It’s truly life changing. Steve O is an inspiration and such a force for good
been drinking non stop man, videos like these give me a glimmer of hope
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.
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!
YES this is so true
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😂 of all things if someone would’ve told me 20 years ago that Steve-O would be sober, and the world would be going to shit I would’ve been like no way.
@@phillipharris9824 yes way 😵💫😵💫😵💫
You're an inspiration Steve-o. Thank you.
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.
You can do it brother
If I drink now it’s very small amounts like 3 ipas once a month or two months, if you can’t stop once you start drinking that’s not good that used to happen to me I would just drink all night
Skip the AA, it's all just religion based bullshit. It's all about personal willpower.
when i start drinking i 'll finish a whole bottle of vodka. I simply cannot stop. When i start after the 3rd beer i start on vodka and then i begin to basically down things to get the hit before i've passed out unless there's coke involved. I will then avoid drink for days or weeks but once I start again I just binge. I cannot drink socially and i turn into an awful person. 9 days so far without it.
Any progress? If not, never too late to start!
Been sober almost 24 years. Haven’t missed it one bit. 😊
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
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!
Beautiful podcast, very helpful ❤
I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to alcohol and cigarettes for over 21 years. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc that can cause so much damage to health.
I've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a reliable source here in Scotland. Really need!
I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Thanks for having these conversations
More of these! Awesome seeing people waking up to this realizing being sober is so much better!
Love this! So true!
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.
mans literally said "done with her, too" hahahahahah
Beautiful honest interview love Josh more
You can tell Steve O has been to a million AA meeting because he has all the cool saying the old timers say
😂 yup
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.
Its really fun tho
@@werdle92you’re missing the point. I’m not even an alcoholic (no alcohol ever) but I’ll tell you what I think: alcohol produces euphoric feelings only for a short amount of time. After that, your brain compensates or having less dopamine and wasting your dopamine is a recipe for disaster.
Love the sober casts! Cool seeing we all deal with similar issues, adds humanity! GET EM STEVO! You rock!
Thank you Steve-O for the man you are today.
"next thing you know you're the same age as old people" so true
I love steve. I think he's just an awesome dude and I'd love to just have an in person convo with him
The 12 Steps saved my life. I couldn’t stop on my own. Thank you Steve-O for sharing your experience.
I’m so fucking proud of Steve-O.
Nobody who gets sober ever regrets it, they only regret not doing it sooner. 💪🏻
I'm 5 months sober and on my 4th step and have an amazing sponsor that has really helped me with so much!
They need AA with out religion attached
@Steve-cu1ye AA isn't a religion all walks of life are welcome we have one thing in common "the desire to stop drinking"
@@Steve-cu1yeit’s not religious, it’s spiritual
Beautiful....love CNN step out of their ego and shows strength warrior vibes appreciate it love it!
great content love the transparnecy thank you bro!
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
great conversation. there's always a reason behind drinking/drugs too much. boredom. loneliness.
this actually hits
That's what I'm experiencing. I'm drinking to stop the nausea, I can't go very long. I've been puking all morning, dying for a drink cause i know it'll fix me right up. My boyfriend is over my shit, and the more I drink the more he isolates me so I drink more cause I'm deeply sad and ashamed and bombard myself with hateful thoughts all day until that alcohol hits my bloodstream. It's horrible and it's all my fault.
It’s really helpful to have someone who is your cheerleader. Someone to remind you that you are strong and can over come those urges and that the stuff that comes up is something you can get thru
Steve-O looking like the kid from the Sand Lot Nowadays lol. Thanks for always being an inspiration bud.
Thx. 4 days sober myself. I’m gunna commit this time
take a shot every time stevo talks about being sober
If you do that you'll end up in AA too lol
He’s ages so good
I love his honesty.
58 days here, never thought I could quit, now it’s completely clear how much I was destroying myself. It’s an amazing feeling. I’ll never go back!
Keep it up! I just hit 1 year and couldn't be happier about the decision. Day 60 felt great when I hit it
Hell yeah! Congrats!!!!!
