    I have to say I had a friend 2 years ago that was really bad with drugs and Brandon’s documentary really got through to her. I DMed him and explained that if he reached out it would mean the world. He not only reached out, he called her personally and pulled strings to get her into his treatment center in Philly. He will always have a ton of respect from me for doing all of that.

      @@maxsilbert I don't have any evidence for this particular thing, but it happens alot. People in Florida and Cali think as well, get paid for every person they can get into and through the program. I'm not sure on specifics, like if they need to complete the program or what, but I remember watching a documentary/interview of a dude that was doing that, making shit tons of money, just contacting people from his home town and promising them a cut of the money and that they can just get through the program and go back to using afterwards with a nice stack of cash. In that interview in particular, the guy stopped doing it after one of the guys he got out there OD while at a hotel he got for him, I forget what exactly happened, but it was directly the guys fault, so it fucked with him and got him to stop doing it. Probably has something to do with government funding and the more people they get into the program, the more money the program makes, so they give people a cut if their able to get a bunch of people into it, even if they don't want to get clean, just someone to take up a spot so they can receive more money.

    I've been following Novak for over 15 years. I never thought I'd see him ever get sober. When Bam called him a "lifer" I believed it.. To see him now is crazy. He's a literal different person and it's absolutely inspiring. He's my biggest personal proof that a person can change. For the longest time I didn't believe that a person can change, but Novak changed me and changed the way I see things regarding addiction. He's given me more hope towards people..

Now 2 years clean. I have the H.I.M Heartagram Ville Valo is a masterpiece, and everything you guys did I grew up on and will never forget it. I hope nothing but the best for Bam, I live 2 hours from castle bam and I wanted to go so bad. I actually met you in my city and my friend cut your hair in Erie. You ALL have no clue the inspiration you have on me, plan on getting tattoos of all of you guys I already have 50 tattoos so why not, also a decent skateboarder, so thank you for everything.

      He's got a lot more going on mentally than just drugs and alcohol, if he doesn't fix those things first he wont quit getting loaded and he acts like everyone around him are the problem and the reason hes gone crazy. I unfortunately don't see him getting sober, he doesn't want it and he doesn't care for himself or those around him... if his own child can't get him to man up and get help, nothing will... I know he misses Dunn but these days he uses that as an excuse for all his negative behavior, that, or knoxville/Tremaine. He's just not as mentally strong as Steve-O in multiple ways.

He lived a wild and fast younger life and he's clearly struggling with getting older and settling down, which I know a lot of people do when they hit 40. And until he fixes those issues, he won't get sober.

    Steve-O and Scott: I think it's amazing you both sponsored 2 guys each. that's what recovery is all about, helping the next person get sober. Steve-O, I'm 36 and have been a fan of yours since the beginning of Jackass. I've been in recovery for nearly 4 years, and watching you helped me. Love the channel and look forward to seeing you in Great Falls!

I was battling addiction for a decade,and u cannot believe how frustrating it get when u get lectured & scolded by some dr. or addiction therapist,who have no fkin clue what they are talking about. They just read few books in college about addiction,and now they are a specialist!!!
