“I just can’t put into words how grateful I am for @JohnnyKnoxville and the rest of the guys who locked me up in a psychiatric ward on March 9, 2008, where this journey began,” Steve-O wrote on the 10-year anniversary of his sobriety. “Thank you, dudes, I really love you.”
Chris Raab, who frequently appeared on the show, previously admitted many of the “Jack*ss” stars battled addiction issues.
“If you got hurt, you were like, ‘Oh, I can just take a pill for that,'” Chris Raab, who frequently appeared on the series revealed to Page Six in 2018. “And you justify it’s a painkiller, I’m in pain. I broke my ankle. I need this. And then you justify it to yourself if you broke your arm, you’d need [another painkiller] too. And before you know it, you’re just so caught up in it.”
