Steve-O Life, Career
Steve-O travelled and lived in different countries mainly because of his father’s work as an executive of Pepsi-Cola.

However, he didn’t want to end up a failure and got himself checked into rehab. He’s now a full decade sober. He has mentioned a number of times that two of his rescue dogs, Walter and Bernie, were a huge part in getting him back to his life. He told the US Weekly on his fifth sobriety anniversary “I just think back to before I had my dogs and my life must have been just so empty. I shouldn’t say empty, but I can’t believe how much those little sons of bitches have enriched my life.”
He further added, “It’s so good for a guy like me to have a priority that’s not myself and have a regimen and discipline and responsibility that’s all very healthy.”
After his interest in the animal right reservation, he has turned himself into veganism. In June, he made public that he was in the best shape of his life, which is the result of his vegan diet. “For my birthday this year, I decided to get in the best shape I’ve ever been in,” he posted on Instagram.
On his 10th anniversary of sobriety, he took his shot by thanking his former Jackass buddies for all their help in bringing him back from the edge where he almost lost his life. “Hard to believe it’s been an entire decade since I’ve had a drink or a drug,” he wrote, posting a photo standing alongside with alcohol and nitrous oxide capsules. “I just can’t put into words how grateful I am for @realjknoxville and the rest of the guys who locked me up in a psychiatric ward on the 9th of March, 2008, where this journey began. Thank you, dudes, I love you.”
Now, it seems that he has overcome the hindrances that were taking him away from his purpose and back living life to the fullest. He posted photos of him revealing how much he has changed in the last six years – and apparently, he does look better than ever before.
