It made me crave them and as embarrassing as that footage is, that just seemed like another reason to get high. I couldn't watch it; I haven't watched it since then.

His isn't a "triumph" story so to speak; yes, he does get clean and sober and remains that way to this day, but he speaks of it very honestly in saying that he could relapse tomorrow.

Steve-O is known for his distinctive gravelly voice, which he initially attributed to his drug use and various stunts he's done over the years. After visiting a specialist, however, he was surprised to learn that it is simply because of his habit of using his throat muscles to talk, rather than his vocal cords. [75] Animal rights [ edit ] I love memoirs, and I find celebrity memoirs especially fascinating due to the complex yet seemingly glamorous lives of celebrities. So when I saw Steve-O’s new book I was immediately intrigued. Apparently Steve-O already wrote a memoir detailing his many drug and alcohol induced wild scenarios before he embraced sobriety. This book was supposed to be a Part 2 of his sobriety smashed together with life lessons to classify it as a self-help book as well. He claims to appreciate when he is called out for being an *sshole… and yet, when animal rights activists question him regarding his flip from veganism to consuming sentient animals, he claims he eats them out of spite— not realizing that it’s not vegans he’s hurting. It’s animals.

Steve-O is clearly a good soul who had an incredibly unique path that will probably never be repeated. What could it possibly be that makes someone want to do what he does? This book doesn’t answer this explicitly but if you read between the lines you can see clues. It reads like a play by play account of every phase and pivotal moment of his life - he has an amazing memory! But you are still hearing only his voice. I don’t think he knows why he does what he does or is the way he is. I guess most of us don’t.
