I loved that crazy phase he was going through 10-11 years ago because it was entertaining as hell but I’m even happier that he is completely sober and doing well. He’s “winning” now
You’re lookin at a rockstar baby he was winning then hahaha some of he most fun times I had in my life was fueled by crazy drug use! I don’t do any of that any more in my 30s, but as long as you’re not a loser you can pretty much take substances, play with them, and put them down. As he said, some people have things “woven in their quilt” and that means, unfortunately, they can’t control themselves. Obviously he was winning then and now because he’s still talking about it AND experienced it.
I'm 40. 21 years of iv heroin and fentynl, 2 years before that on morphine pills, and from 13 and up it was crack cocaine and alcohol 5-6 days a week. I'm from Detroit Michigan, eastside. 26x in rehab, 10x on suboxone, 6x on methadone, and I still can't stop. It's so hard. I am FIGHTI G FOR MY LIFE evey single day. Please! Please never ever pick up! Trauma is at the root of ALL serious addictions to drugs. I was raped and molested from m age 4 to 7. I developed PTSD and still deal daily with it since age 6/7. Anxiety and depression daily. It's so hard. I'm trying so hard. Homeless. Starving. Lonely. Scared. Please L O V E yourself and get help! Talk to others about your problems! Stay away from toxic negative people! Much love to you ALL ❤
Keep fighting, you never know how circumstances might change. Very similar happened to me. I've been sober 10 years now after my entire youth was lost to PTSD & alcohol. I'm overly aware how lucky I am to have (unwittingly) escaped. I lost every attempt to stay off booze. I eventually became homeless for 16 weeks. Found a home & a little stability. Several years later I nearly died from septicaemia. The sad truth is, I'd not have stopped booze without being placed in a coma to help fight the infection. The day I came out of the 4 day coma everything was like Christmas. I was very, very (deathly) ill but no earth shattering anxiety or depression - I was free from my reason to drink (I drank to cope with the aforementioned). I literally had no reason to continue to drink, I could finally move on and face my past without being perpetually debilitated mentally and physically by a fear I had no control over. BTW it wasn't because I nearly died - this isn't one of those near death experiences or moments of clarity - shrinks are baffled - I called the coma a, "hard reset" that somehow effectively removed the colossal anxiety I'd been experiencing since the age of 14 (I had to leave school. I couldn't sleep in a bed or be in public etc). Of course I still have my issues but not at one point does overwhelming anxiety come into play and therefore I've no need to for the sedation that alcohol offered. In fact booze kinda terrifies me nowadays, the smell acts like regression, booze has caused it's own form of 'PTSD'. I associate booze with an awful period even though booze was not part of my initial issues. However I'm also aware that without booze I'd have killed myself long ago. It was a catch 22 situation. 1½ litres of vodka a day for years was only ever going to end one way. I thought about taking drugs but my anxiety would never allow it. I'd shake with fear just being near people who just smoked marijuana. The idea of anything elicit scared me more than any physical pain, another catch 22 at the time. I wish you all the best.
Gives me chills listening to him describe how he felt waking up not knowing what happened, and talking about how easy we forget those horrible nights and just relapse a month later - I’ve felt the exact same things he’s describing. Amazing podcast. Hope more celebrities share their stories regarding addiction.
Totally agreed I was a heroin addict/alcoholic and I would hate the morning after not knowing what I done I still get chills finding out what I’ve done! So Ild drink again!
@@stevegee6494 EXACTLY. my imagination pictured it as a scenario where nothing went wrong so therefore that will happen! ahhh but if only that were actually the case.
Can't relate, I dream of using then wake up disappointed it's not real. I kicked methadone, but was never a good addict, never knew where to get anything, could never find the good stuff so I just got high in methadone. Felt like I never got it out of my system.
Oh God I had that dream while pregnant and remembered while in the dream that I was pregnant and the horrible guilt and shame followed me around all day after waking.
This is deeply inspiring. If Charlie can get his act together, then we all can do it . I had to pleasure of getting to know him, at a time when his TV show had just entered syndication and his divorce was being finalized (2007). He was crazy good looking in person and was wearing a wickedly expensive looking vicuna coat - very stylish dresser. I didn't know who he was and he didn't let on. Called himself Carlos. Then switched on the TV and my jaw dropped. He's is extremely polite and well spoken. He took great interest in my books on screen writing and wanted to know how it was going for me, then acted like he wanted to marry my cat. I've never seen a guy so nuts about cats.
So glad this dude is still alive. Yeah he's a star ⭐ n all but I love Charles as a human bein... Man....he lived thru some of the most good n ugly, that is just not everyone can pull through. Love you man so glad you're alive still, stay safe my friend, stay well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He made a good point of using "shame shivers" to prevent you from doing more harmful things to yourself. It doesnt have to be drugs, just anything that you did that gave you intense shame, call on that to remind yourself to do the right thing for yourself in your battles
I know what he means of morning drinker. I drink my first Mikes Cranberry @ 9 am and the second @ 1:00 pm and I’m good for the rest of the day. People bash me for drinking in the morning but what’s the difference I’m retired and enjoying my life. Like Jim Morrison sang “Woke up this mornin and got myself a beer🍺” “THE FUTURE’S UNKNOWN BUT THE FRIDGE IS ALWAYS NEAR”. 😂🤣😆
What works for me i came up with in rehab, was Only steps forward, no steps back. If you relapse stop yourself you dont have to abuse alcohol. This is only for alcohol not drugs.
He reminds me of his Father, Martin now more than ever. He's always looked like him but polar opposite in the way they project themselves publicly. Glad to see him doing better, seems like a smart enough man....I still think those interviews from 12 years ago are the best work of his career and if we are to believe the news anchor who covered it, he passed the drug test he took before the interview so it wasn't just mindless junkie rambling, there was a lot of charisma behind it! Glad to see he didn't stay in "Warlock Mode" because it did start to become a bit frightening, funny as it was.
Those shame shivers can go either way… dangerous. If you can’t handle the shame and memories, you may just say f”@& it all. Have to be strong enough to handle it.
It’s so good to have clean Charlie sheen back. His last few decades that dude was killing himself And his reputation.I hope he gets some gig on a good tv show or a movie.
I love Charlie Sheen aka Carlos Estevez I grew up with him so to speak with his movies so...we all have fuck ups and dark times but we also learn to grow and flourish again!!!
Wish you and others would post the date or month year that this interview took place. It will be a frustrating chore in the future. This is history.. Date it please.
You are my hero Charlie, im happy for you to see you better now these days, im from Norway so i just watched the youtube videos... that you you clearly are better now with yourself, im really happy about it. Wish you all the best, hope i can meet you one day, either if i think that most unlikly.. take care, peace from Norway. Simon Mikkelsen (sorry for my bad English spelling)
I’m a recovering addict but still on 90mg’s of methadone a day and while I’m more stable, I’m kind of in a tired fog all the time and never really feel good. Hopefully I’ll be completely clean and sober and while maybe not happy, at least content.
You think he looks 66-71 years old? I think he looks great for a 56 year old man that drank and did that much drugs in his lifetime, despite the fake teeth and hair.
Really? I mean considering how much shit he did and the fact that he has HIV, he looks average if not younger than his age lol. He’s 56, looks pretty spot on for his age. He barely looks 5 years older than his last season of two and a half men
As an ex Alcoholic, and I mean 1 bottle every 2 days....the big ones while on 8, 10 day binges, you do the math. Sheen has to have the liver and heart of a supernatural being because this stuff, along with drugs WILL kill someone. Ask Corey Haim. I had to stop because I want to recover and live. Peace......
I robbed a liquor store just for a drink and tossed them 300 dollars they just was closing up so I got my Kessler went home ran for 2weeks then killed another bottle and turned myself in the day I got out a cop who lived in my hometown dropped me off at a liquor store after a year sobering walked in got me a 12 pack kept drinking until I caught a 9mm bullet in the liver & kidney now I'm sober true story.Im a Christian now cause I died from the gunshot and saw the light really half way through the lords prayer I died and was standing in this bright room fully aware I was in heaven and all I can remember is my family telling me.if u die your going to Hell boy. We im standing in this bright room thinking well this is definitely not hell and I felt the feeling of love greater than on earth I can't put it in words how happy I was then bang im awake hurting so so bad but there was the light still above me beautiful ain't the word.i was a skeptic to but no way man God's real man.
I think Charlie has long been a functional addict just as a baseline. We only noticed it when it got way out of control. After things calmed down a bit, he appeared on talk shows and seemed relatively normal. There was a roast where he was semi-normal and funny. But at that point, he was just the baseline addict. He spiraled into a manic episode, and that's what we all saw as the train wreck. But he could still move on without really getting sober. It was just quieter. He talks about alcohol here, but he has also done a lot of hard drugs at insane levels. I hope he has purged all of that from his life, but you never know. It sounds like he got to a point where there was nowhere else to go with the drinking...he had built up such a tolerance for alcohol that he literally couldn't get the buzz from it. That's terrifying. He also contracted HIV along the way. He was notorious for patronizing sex workers, and guys like that might be downright dangerous. He is fortunate to be alive, but he also needs to be held accountable for his actions, intoxicated or otherwise. He assaulted and threatened women. He may have done even worse than that.
Interesting though and I agree….mostly. I got clean from opioids and methamphetamine 4 years ago but I smoke marijuana almost daily and drink alcohol occasionally. I wrestle with the fact that I’m not totally clean but I think if I did quit everything then I’d be very appt to relapse. The marijauna keeps me “content” so to speak. Do you think it’s better for people to be mostly clean or not at all? Side note I quit smoking weed about a week ago, not to get clean but to get a commercial drivers license. I’m not planning on being a truck driver, it’s just goes with the job I already have but I’m curious to see if I will want to smoke again after a few months totally clean.
Not knowing which town you are in makes me wonder; Does Charlie not own a smartphone? Interesting monologue, realistic guy but of course still on the edge. As for the producers; Multi band compressor, severe limiter on everything under 70hz that's above -10dB, or hang those mics on the ceiling :D.
i think im officially now at the point where its almost too difficult to drink anything fast enough to even get drunk regardless of what the total amounts are, it just doesnt work as much, usually when you start you know a few glasses of wine and you get that warmth or a 6 pack of beer for example, but now even though i dont even drink every week necessarily, when i do it'll take at least a big liter bottle and a half of a whisky or a gin to get to the warmth and BEGINNINGS of drunkenness that when i first started drinking one third of that would do, so the initial ability was already astronomically high, so i can understand why Charlie looks at a pint of vodka and goes okay, i hope it works rather than '''duh obviously its going to'' which isnt always the case which is IMPOSSIBLE to believe until it happens then its a hmmm okay, well i guess i need to move on to something else so to speak. I'm glad that for the extremists like us that getting to the end of efficacy is how we stop because eventually it gets pointless then sobriety is the reverse and becomes special i think because its simply so different its almost like a drug to somebody whos been loaded for so long. which is probably why you dont hear about him having a bunch of relapses, because the new thing is nothing and you kinda have to develop that into being exciting because it sure as hell doesnt come naturally.
It’s funny. The guy says I’ve been sober over a year so I wouldn’t know. Yeah alcohol hasn’t changed much sir. It’s not like electronic technology it’s pretty basic
Shame Shiver, this is the first time I have heard someone describe what i feel is like sticking my tongue on a 9v battery every time i think about touching a pipe. Something happened, and 3 years of using stopped. Every time I think of it, I get this really acidic taste and feel on my tongue. It strikes my senses and it touches my nerves. I can do a cheeky line still here n there. The pipe was my mistress and I was its bitch. Never again.
if anyone who has been an addict can answer this question for me: Does someone in recovery talking about their past in excitement sometimes rub you the wrong way?
I am no addict, but I think that's just Charlie being Charlie. He is a unique individual. He has a unique manner of speaking. I have been watching his work for many years, and that's just his personality. That's part of what makes him a gifted actor. If you watch the most recent John Mulaney special, he talks about his addiction in a similar way. Now, you can interpret this one of two ways. 1) He is just a comedic storyteller, and he is looking for some comic relief to describe a tough situation. 2) He is not taking his sobriety seriously, and he looks back on his substance abuse period with some fondness. He went to rehab because someone made him. I hope it's #1 for Charlie and John, but you never know. The whole "shame shivers" conversation gives me hope for Charlie because you can see he does have serious regrets.
I loved that crazy phase he was going through 10-11 years ago because it was entertaining as hell but I’m even happier that he is completely sober and doing well. He’s “winning” now
He looks younger now (but sounds older) than 11 years ago! That Tiger Blood has been working! Bi-winning!
Hes “bi winning” definitely nkw
You’re lookin at a rockstar baby he was winning then hahaha some of he most fun times I had in my life was fueled by crazy drug use! I don’t do any of that any more in my 30s, but as long as you’re not a loser you can pretty much take substances, play with them, and put them down. As he said, some people have things “woven in their quilt” and that means, unfortunately, they can’t control themselves. Obviously he was winning then and now because he’s still talking about it AND experienced it.
There was nothing entertaining about it, it was sad because he was clearly struggling. But people like you find amusement in others pain. Disgusting.
Lmao
He blinked and cured his brain. He was saying it like it was. His crazy phase was the real him, and pretty genius if you ask me. Glad he didn't die.

Man those "I USED!" nightmares are hell for real. It's a relief waking up in a cold sweat for those who luckily can't relate.

Long live Charlie ! He is so truthful and pretty amazing!!!
Those shame shivers got me off coke and pills. The mind is a powerful thing
GlAd to hear people speaking up about there addiction/ past addiction.
*their addiction
So glad this dude is still alive. Yeah he's a star ⭐ n all but I love Charles as a human bein... Man....he lived thru some of the most good n ugly, that is just not everyone can pull through. Love you man so glad you're alive still, stay safe my friend, stay well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great congnitive hack. I'm going to use it to stop procrastinating.
True it helps, I call them cringe shakes but same thing. Glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with it. Hopefully they pass after w couple years
I think its gr8 how far he is in recovery he had always been my favorite actor!
Hope Charlie gets it together
and keeps it together he is really likeable....
his voice isnt as harsh as it was towards the end of his show....he was partying HARD!!!!
Crack will do that
I know what he means of morning drinker. I drink my first Mikes Cranberry @ 9 am and the second @ 1:00 pm and I’m good for the rest of the day. People bash me for drinking in the morning but what’s the difference I’m retired and enjoying my life.
Like Jim Morrison sang
“Woke up this mornin and got myself a beer🍺”
“THE FUTURE’S UNKNOWN BUT THE FRIDGE IS ALWAYS NEAR”. 😂🤣😆
"shame shivers" is a PERFECT description for those kinds of recalled memories
Holy sheep shit man just the memory of memories I have like that are just like his are spine chilling
Thanks Charlie, you look great! Congrats on finding a better road!
What works for me i came up with in rehab, was Only steps forward, no steps back. If you relapse stop yourself you dont have to abuse alcohol. This is only for alcohol not drugs.
it's crazy how some of the most painful stories end up actually being really funny when you get sober
Relatable / 53 years old, alcohol & cigarette Free since 10/06/2014 after 30+ years as an addict. One Day At A Time. Love!!!🥳
man fair play this is deep stuff I for one wish him all the best for the future.
Good to know you are on a straighter path. Pray for you.
"I was sober for five years a long time ago and was just bored out of my tree" one of my favorite Charlie quotes
he is one of the few that stop the drugs and hang onto the creativity, Suicide is not woven into my blanket, classic
What he describes as "shame shivers" we describe as "beer fear" in the north East of the UK.
Happy New Year 🎉🎇💞🌞🎁 Charlie...2023 ‼️
I'v been trough all that jorney.....Keep your faith, Dear Charles!!
Ironically Charlie Sheen is "winning" a day at a time with sobriety. Just like me for 47 months as of today.
Way to go! Keep it going you're worth it!
Now he's really WINNING
He reminds me of his Father, Martin now more than ever. He's always looked like him but polar opposite in the way they project themselves publicly. Glad to see him doing better, seems like a smart enough man....I still think those interviews from 12 years ago are the best work of his career and if we are to believe the news anchor who covered it, he passed the drug test he took before the interview so it wasn't just mindless junkie rambling, there was a lot of charisma behind it!

Those shame shivers can go either way… dangerous. If you can’t handle the shame and memories, you may just say f”@& it all. Have to be strong enough to handle it.
I got plenty of shame shivers to draw from, PLENTY.....6 months sober.
It’s so good to have clean Charlie sheen back. His last few decades that dude was killing himself And his reputation.I hope he gets some gig on a good tv show or a movie.
I love Charlie Sheen aka Carlos Estevez I grew up with him so to speak with his movies so...we all have fuck ups and dark times but we also learn to grow and flourish again!!!

Congratulations to Charlie Sheen for being sober. God bless him
You are my hero Charlie, im happy for you to see you better now these days, im from Norway so i just watched the youtube videos... that you you clearly are better now with yourself, im really happy about it.

Charlie Won The War On Drugs !! SALUTE !!!
Bruh looks jus like his dad. Should asked him about him and corey haim
Master bs artist, but I still love him!
he's an actor...his job is playing pretend.
So looking forward to the posible reboot of 21/2 men ❤
What he is talking about is called " remember when " , in AA.
I’m a recovering addict but still on 90mg’s of methadone a day and while I’m more stable, I’m kind of in a tired fog all the time and never really feel good. Hopefully I’ll be completely clean and sober and while maybe not happy, at least content.
You know. "I Understand!" Charlie.
Iowa-Dallas 😅.
Lord Charlie looks and sounds like he's 10-15 years older than he is. Jesus. Good on him for sobering up though, he can let his body heal
all the drugs and alc :)
You think he looks 66-71 years old? I think he looks great for a 56 year old man that drank and did that much drugs in his lifetime, despite the fake teeth and hair.
Really? I mean considering how much shit he did and the fact that he has HIV, he looks average if not younger than his age lol. He’s 56, looks pretty spot on for his age. He barely looks 5 years older than his last season of two and a half men
Nice one. Great interview.
As an ex Alcoholic, and I mean 1 bottle every 2 days....the big ones while on 8, 10 day binges, you do the math.
Sheen has to have the liver and heart of a supernatural being because this stuff, along with drugs WILL kill someone. Ask Corey Haim.
I had to stop because I want to recover and live.
Peace......

Exit strategy of Charlie Sheen is that I never killed anyone.
This actually frightens never seen anything like this besides me
I used too have posters of Charlie Sheen all over my bedroom. In my opinion he is the sexiest man in the world. Love me some Charlie.
The fact this clip has only 32 k views tells a lot about human nature.
mmm….38k now
Man bears total efficiency only in his capacity to incur total ruin upon himself

Can you rewrite this? Your verbage really doesn’t make any sense to me
Wow on that crazy train
I wonder if he thinks about Corey? No celebrity has ever ignored the allegations towards them like that.
What a guy. So disgusting and lovable at the same time...
They should have continued two and a half men chalie getting back and all it wouldve been a blast
Perhaps not crashing his car but smacking around the old lady is never good… I’m glad he’s sober
Amazing and miraculous is the resilience of the human body
We all are going through this.
No not really
I think Charlie has long been a functional addict just as a baseline. We only noticed it when it got way out of control.
After things calmed down a bit, he appeared on talk shows and seemed relatively normal. There was a roast where he was semi-normal and funny. But at that point, he was just the baseline addict.
He spiraled into a manic episode, and that's what we all saw as the train wreck. But he could still move on without really getting sober. It was just quieter.
He talks about alcohol here, but he has also done a lot of hard drugs at insane levels. I hope he has purged all of that from his life, but you never know.
It sounds like he got to a point where there was nowhere else to go with the drinking...he had built up such a tolerance for alcohol that he literally couldn't get the buzz from it. That's terrifying.
He also contracted HIV along the way. He was notorious for patronizing sex workers, and guys like that might be downright dangerous.
He is fortunate to be alive, but he also needs to be held accountable for his actions, intoxicated or otherwise. He assaulted and threatened women. He may have done even worse than that.
There has to be a connection with very intellectual people and there craving and seeking that high that turns them to drugs...
Coming soon Charlie has a re-occurring role on “How to be a Bookie” on MAX(formerly known as HBOMax:)
He sounds like Uncle Charlie again.
His voice he sounds like his dad now
Good stuff!
I thought he was so funny in 2 and a half men, I never watched it after he was fired, couldn't imagine anybody else in that role
Looks like these guys have afraid to close him.. so sad
Is he working on any acting roles?
Sobriety isn't when you're taking other "keep-you-sober-drugs".
Interesting though and I agree….mostly. I got clean from opioids and methamphetamine 4 years ago but I smoke marijuana almost daily and drink alcohol occasionally. I wrestle with the fact that I’m not totally clean but I think if I did quit everything then I’d be very appt to relapse. The marijauna keeps me “content” so to speak. Do you think it’s better for people to be mostly clean or not at all?
Side note I quit smoking weed about a week ago, not to get clean but to get a commercial drivers license. I’m not planning on being a truck driver, it’s just goes with the job I already have but I’m curious to see if I will want to smoke again after a few months totally clean.
Not knowing which town you are in makes me wonder; Does Charlie not own a smartphone?
Interesting monologue, realistic guy but of course still on the edge.
As for the producers; Multi band compressor, severe limiter on everything under 70hz that's above -10dB, or hang those mics on the ceiling :D.
Dude is high af
I don't know how you guys are following
This guy really needs a second shoot through voice acting.
With Charlie's personality at his worst point I'm sure he got a chuckle out of it. Completely oblivious to how far he had Fallen.
Charlie's still wearing his bermudas 🤣🤣
Ya that happens to me when I see someone in a movie or just talking about Crack I get the shivers I can't believe I used to smoke that shit yuck
I'm just glad I didn't have cameras on me when I was al f'ed on drugs.
HES NOT SOBER!!!!!!!! HE STILL DOING COKE AND TAR
i think im officially now at the point where its almost too difficult to drink anything fast enough to even get drunk regardless of what the total amounts are, it just doesnt work as much, usually when you start you know a few glasses of wine and you get that warmth or a 6 pack of beer for example, but now even though i dont even drink every week necessarily, when i do it'll take at least a big liter bottle and a half of a whisky or a gin to get to the warmth and BEGINNINGS of drunkenness that when i first started drinking one third of that would do, so the initial ability was already astronomically high, so i can understand why Charlie looks at a pint of vodka and goes okay, i hope it works rather than '''duh obviously its going to'' which isnt always the case which is IMPOSSIBLE to believe until it happens then its a hmmm okay, well i guess i need to move on to something else so to speak. I'm glad that for the extremists like us that getting to the end of efficacy is how we stop because eventually it gets pointless then sobriety is the reverse and becomes special i think because its simply so different its almost like a drug to somebody whos been loaded for so long. which is probably why you dont hear about him having a bunch of relapses, because the new thing is nothing and you kinda have to develop that into being exciting because it sure as hell doesnt come naturally.
It’s funny. The guy says I’ve been sober over a year so I wouldn’t know. Yeah alcohol hasn’t changed much sir. It’s not like electronic technology it’s pretty basic
He said Wade Boggs
Wade Boggs is a legendary drinker as well. lol
Wow I thought he was there
*The Two Coreys* How they doin these days?
This dude has fried his brain on something BAAAAD !!
..,.....never talks about the click bait title
Damn, he fried his brain
He sounds very clear headed to me…
Yeah for what he did, he seems fairly coherent.
Charlie Sheen should comfort Brooke Mueller who is sad and lonely and she wants to be back with Charlie
Shame Shiver, this is the first time I have heard someone describe what i feel is like sticking my tongue on a 9v battery every time i think about touching a pipe. Something happened, and 3 years of using stopped. Every time I think of it, I get this really acidic taste and feel on my tongue. It strikes my senses and it touches my nerves. I can do a cheeky line still here n there. The pipe was my mistress and I was its bitch. Never again.
Much respect, keep the sobriety!
if anyone who has been an addict can answer this question for me:
Does someone in recovery talking about their past in excitement sometimes rub you the wrong way?
I am no addict, but I think that's just Charlie being Charlie. He is a unique individual. He has a unique manner of speaking. I have been watching his work for many years, and that's just his personality. That's part of what makes him a gifted actor.
If you watch the most recent John Mulaney special, he talks about his addiction in a similar way.
Now, you can interpret this one of two ways.
1) He is just a comedic storyteller, and he is looking for some comic relief to describe a tough situation.
2) He is not taking his sobriety seriously, and he looks back on his substance abuse period with some fondness. He went to rehab because someone made him.
I hope it's #1 for Charlie and John, but you never know. The whole "shame shivers" conversation gives me hope for Charlie because you can see he does have serious regrets.
We know what you mean!!!!!!!!!!!
In my experience dont believe addicts. Lieing is like breathing to them.
