The Tragic Story Of My Failed Interventions | Steve-O

If I have stammered it, man, yes, friend, it has been more than 25 years since my first intervention because on February 22, 1995 I was arrested for my first DUI and when I called my mom to collect from jail, she said that of course There's no way I'm going to bail you out. unless you go straight to rehab, which I did, but it was all a huge failure because I didn't get clean and sober, and ten years later in 2005, at the time I was watching the intervention program to feel better about my own self. problem and I was such a fan of the show that when my friends and I made this movie called TV, the movie that was a bunch of parodies of TV shows, I thought, let's do an intervention parody where I'm a kid's birthday. party clown will be hilarious mr.

Hawkin, so I'm a clown and I think I'm going to a kids' party and I crash this tricycle into a door. I wrote that sketch by myself and the point is if someone tries to intervene in me, they're going to pay for it I think you know why we're all here, yeah, party and not only am I not going to go to rehab, in fact, I'll I set fire to the interventionist, which is not safe, the city, not me, that party. I thought it was funny, I still do. It's funny, but anyone who knew me or cared about me didn't think it was funny at all because it was too true and that's how a day at work ends.

Yes, as the years went by I got worse and then in 2006 something really strange and It Happened and I count it as an intervention. We had a photo shoot with the entire cast for Jackass and I showed up with all these drugs and alcohol. All I want to say is that I'm waking up and not as stressed as this, like a more general guy. with a big samurai sword, so it was just me and Stevo. He was doing that. What makes these whips hit the shell for a photo? He appears and plunges the samurai sword through the bottom and I ran towards the wall with my sword and stabbed the wall and it bounced off and went straight into Steve-o's back.

In fact, he stabbed me in the back and it wasn't that bad of a wound to see those white blanks in red flesh, it's not even as wide as the entire samurai sword. it was just the tip that went in, it wasn't the type of wound that required stitches, but they made me put them in just to stop him from taking any more drugs that day, he deserved it and naturally the next year he was much worse. cookies, ketamine at the time was crazy, if you can believe it, I had two

interventions

in a row because my sister in Florida knew I was in serious trouble and called the police in Los Angeles asking them to come to my apartment and see. yes I'm okay and it was such a twisted scene as I described it to the paparazzi a couple nights later here are your favorite paparazzi babe hi very deep I got totally high I took like five bars of xanax like me.

I was applauding this whole band I woke up, my room was full of police officers and firefighters and I had nightmares at night in the hospital and that interview with the paparazzi happened when I showed up at this nightclub to film a VH1 show about these old ladies who You're going to learn how to party from me and Kim Kardashian now we're going to learn how to party new signals, that's right and then when we're filming the part in the nightclub, I say, hey, come on, old lady, come to the bathroom and he likes us. . I will do cocaine.

I think the producers of that show were so disturbed by me in the nightclub that they asked me if they could do another shoot where they brought the women to my apartment, so the camera women sat me down and said, "Hello , you". I have a problem and this is an intervention. I'm like, "You're going to come into my apartment and do what." I was so angry I think I went crazy and told them they couldn't include that footage in the video. I don't like the show, I would sue or something, then the show came out, it was that awkward, like I was drinking.

I left that production company with no

story

to tell except that it's fun to party with Steve-o, which was, didn't there get to a point where I always heard that people were worried about me and I was like, well, whatever, apparently Jay Knoxville and bam went there with Howard Stern and told him they were worried about me because I was so out of control I'm drunk he said what else is there again it got to the point where he was listening for

interventions

and then dr. Drew came out on Celebrity Rehab, so the next time I saw him, I actually showed up ready to put up a fight.

I thought I might try to sign up so I brought security and didn't even pretend not to know I had a problem as an addict reserves the right to continue using but what I told dr. draw was hey man, when I'm ready then I'll do it. I don't get in the way. I am very professional about it. I never thought he was going to be ready, what I thought was that he just could. I don't really go out that much, you know? So I did more just dragging the cuckoo from my apartment home and at this point I was getting up so much that I started hearing voices and hallucinating where I was seeing people walking around that were never there and I know I've said that before in previous videos but we dug up footage of what really happened because the young people have been going through the darkness, oh my god that was rolling, that was really my thing as the Negus of Targa was clearly a demon and one of the main reasons. for this video is that he was actually hallucinating about a complete intervention and we found footage of that happening;

In fact, I saw a group of people come into my apartment and sit down to have a formal conversation with me and I wasn't even really angry. about this because I thought it was cool, I grabbed my camera and tried to film it, but there was no one there, the living room was empty. Things like that happened, a little bit, and I did a little bit and stood up about it and that's what you know your problem is really serious when your hallucinations are preoccupied. The problem with my plan to stay home doing drugs alone was that I developed a real habit of sending out mass emails that often included my family, which they got very worried about.

They really pressured me to go see a psychiatrist to talk about what was going on and I only agreed to do it if I could film it, so I went in and told the guy what was going on. You could say that the visit to the psychiatrist was another.

failed

intervention and it was really just one more failure before the successful intervention that got me sober this was February 2008 we went to New York City to film the 24 hour MTV takeover and I show up in New York there is a news team there and I tell you that I just sit at home accumulating all the narcotics in my body that could possibly be, namely ketamine, nitrous oxide, PCP, cocaine, you know, how they got all kinds of results and this acquisition was from all the asshole guys who run MTV. programming for 24 hours outside of their headquarters and I was high for 24 hours before it started and I did drugs the entire time I was there, like I had some images of smashing cans in my head, hitting terribly and I didn't last the 24 hours at all. because they intervened by kicking me out and back then getting kicked out of a jerk deal for being too drunk was really something, you know, what else is really something.

My guest on the Wild Ride with Steve-o this week was at the Jackass Takeover, This Is Us. man yeah oh man you know I miss this so click here and what are you still doing here? You look lovely, man, thanks.
