Denial, enabling, no consequences, not living in the real world like the rest of us, but mostly denial.. The only person who can make you admit u have a problem and get yourself sober is YOU!..
"bad timing". Then he goes on describing his drinking habits and perfectly explains himself being an alcoholic, yet still denies it. " I don't drink for 4 days, then I drink for 3 days straight.".
Chad is the type of friend that everyone needs. I remember when this aired and thought how crazy it was Bam was in rehab. Now hearing this again, hurts a lot. To hear him read from his book and talk about his life flashing before his eyes made me so sad. He's aware how much it's destroying his life but the alcohol keeps winning over. I'm just over a year sober from alcohol and know that feeling all too well. I see pictures of Bam younger and get so sad to think how things turned out for him. I don't even know this guy but I feel like I grew up with him. It hurts thinking about it. He's more than just a random celebrity. Bam was everything. We all know how great he was when he was sober and it's sad that he doesn't think that about himself. I can't imagine how his friends and family must feel. I'm not an expert, I just know from my experience I failed a million times getting sober. And it was the last time I tried, it stuck. If I didn't fail all of those times, maybe I'd still be doing what I used to do. You keep trying. I hope Bam can get to that last time and stay sober. We believe in you Bam.
@nothingissekret When did he ever do psychedelics? He always pushed back against weed let alone LSD or mushrooms. After years and years of probably having CTE/brain damage in tandem with the insane amounts of booze and drug use in the latter years, literally the last thing he needs is to take psychedelics.
The denial is strong with this one and I know as ive been there and spent a decade (or so) in and out and on and off one substance to go for it with another and back again!. I really respect that person who admits they have a problem, gets it, accepts it and moves on with their life, vs most of us (at least me) who always thinks I can somewhat outwit the disease and somehow manage to control it this time and obviously that is never the case!...Regardless of what seems like a "charmed life" for Bam he is a stereotypical addict/alcoholic in denial who is surrounded by enablers and isn't facing normal consequences and if in his case I'd probably still be loaded or dead!..
So whos here in August 2019? Bam still isnt willing to go to rehab and hes suffering from Meth psychosis... Years later he says that Dunn dying was the reason he drinks, here Dunn was the one who talked him into rehab. Bams a looser. Steve-O is sober even Novak is sober for fucks sake...
Nooger BenAffleckIsanOkayActor I agree he kept Novak around as his pet clown. Now Bam is the clown and Novak is doing good... But hey, Bam just went to rehab AGAIN like two days ago... maybe he'll make it a week this time.
@@noogerbenaffleckisanokayac3628 correct, it's sad man. Although it looks like they have reconnected recently, I think Bam will always be jealous of Novaks sobriety.
🤦considering this was before his first divorce, before dunns death (which is often what gets blamed for bams alcoholism) - and his recovery status is still questionable on a week to week basis. Wish him all the best but clearly his friends were not able to get through to him for about a decade and a half by evidence of this radio show lol
Interesting how at the beginning he says he was already sober for 4 days when they had the intervention but around 10:55 he says he went through at least 1 night of detox in the rehab. I really want him to get better. But He really needs take a step back and see what we all see and quit blaming everyone else. I say this all as a person in recovery. Bam was the man. Chad is asking Bam good questions here. Chad gets it, even back then
Yup. Gotta decarboxylate the flower to activate the THC. Bam’s so full of shit, bashing weed while he goes on meth benders. Yah…the weed is def the problem lol
And this right here is proof that it wasn't Ryan Dunn's death that caused him to become an alcoholic like he claims... He uses that excuse so he gets pity and he thinks it makes it okay... He fails to realize he blasted all this on Sirius radio so we all know it's bullshit I love him to death and wish him the best but I don't see him ever getting his life together especially after what's going on with jackass
It seems like this 2009 rehab stint was the beginning of a 10 plus year relationship with hard drugs and alcohol. Complete denial is along for the ride also. It’s all downhill from here.... sad.
@@l00pdigga42 Then again some smoke and get lazy, watch tv and it relaxes them... Most consider weed to be "relaxing" (at least to my knowledge).. Weed amplifies every negative though, emotion, self doubt, worry and paranoia and eating weed is like 50 times that lol and had a terrifying experience with pot brownies!.. I have struggled with alcoholism and opiate addiction for 12 years and was a heavy bing drinker before that for 7 years, where I might take 1 hit here or there as it was always around me, but weed always made me so uncomfortable in my own skin and anxious and thats one of the reasons I drank, but alcohol.and drugs turn on you and if I picked up a drink it just leads to anxiety, anger and depression, whereas it used to help me with those things, but thats alcoholism.. The drug I loved the most was Opiates!. I was prescribe them due to a car accident and spinal issues and was taken down into opiate addiction!. And been on and off alcohol, subs, pain pills, heroin, etc.. Obviously I like the kinda drugs that numb you out completely and Any opiate is good for that, but im sober today thank God!.
Dont know when this was tapped but it was probably early 2010s or earlier he was bih around that time & he probably went to rehab somewhere close to where he lives which would most likely be why he had people rockin his merch or brand
$1000/day rehab...yeah, that rehab place really cares about ones health. What a scam. If you make the detox as comfortable as you can, I’m sure they will learn their lesson. Blow out the candle, story time is over.
Bro I been in rehab like 8 times there all a thousand dollars a day that's normal..but Insurance covers that so idk why he always says that like it's something outrageous it's the norm for rehab
The whole medical field is highly priced because money is their main interest. That's actually cheap for a higher end rehab. Anything in America having to do with a hospital is outrageous in price even for injuries. Just an ambulance ride to a hospital can run you from $700 to over $1000. Most of the time if you have insurance it covers most of the cost but if you don't have insurance you will be putting yourself in years and years of debt. Many people have their lives ruined from medical bill debt.
If he stays sober and has one cup of Chamomile tea before bed and a little Valerian.Maybe messauge a few hours before bed then yes good sleep can happen.
As a recovering addict n alcoholic I know what Bam is goin through but as much as people want Bam to get sober he won't until he wants to get sober...Until then he will continue to do whatever the fuck he wants and I support him in his choices, its his life so let him live his life however the fuck he wants!
Look what's happening now in 2021. Maybe he should have taken that first rehab a little more seriously. I'm 8 plus years sober from H. Dr. Drew helped me. Maybe he can help Bam...
@@matthewbrooks1157 doesn't matter. I know Bam's behavior and attitude has gotten worse. Life can be tough, but I still go to Church and it does indeed make things feel better. And if he doesn't want to be Christian, then try a Mosque, Synagogue, Temple, whatever. If you believe in nothing you'll fall for anything, especially addiction.
In a way that wasnt healthy atmosphere kind of rehab for Bam because it was full of his fans with Bam emblems displayed.Definately not orthodox rehab atmosphere

I’m here on may 7th of 2023. This just hits different, still hoping for the best for you bam bam
He's like a ninja the way he dodges every reason to quit drinking.

Yeah and he hasn't changed his ways, still. It's pretty sad. I'm afraid he is never gonna change.

Bams sober 1.5 years but still in sticky situations.
(Correct if wrong)
thank you chad... i dont know anything, I just hope you still around to console him every now and then. youre very levelheaded and give great advice.
He just doesn't get it.
Yeah he does. Rehab and AA/NA meetings fucking suck.

Ur the type of person bam would want to avoid

That’s a real friend
Chad was amazing here. Near the end, Bam even said he's glad he went to rehab. At the beginning that would've seemed impossible.
@ 55:55
Chad: “ahhh... youre a drunk care-bear.”
LOL
Acted like 4 days was 4 year's... what a joke. Wahhh wahhh... 4 days ... wahhh.
Keep up the good work man, I can never find the later ones and hope you get to those, I appreciate the effort your putting in, in getting these up

Dude said he just ate straight weed though right? That doesn't do anything
You cant get high from eating raw weed. Thc needs heat to break down and actually get you high

Your right Dunn’s death didn’t make Bam become an alcoholic/addict. It just made shit 5x worse.

Kid cooked it
I agree. He has gotten worse.
lol he thinks he got high from eating weed.. more like buggin of the addys, coke and drinking
