7:58, I hope, hope, hope that you are kidding about Bam being your children's role model because if you're not, you have issues and your children are going to have issues too!!! That's just sick!

He's in my dead pool and I'll win with him. End of the year for sure. It sucks that I'll win money once he gets out of rehab and has a collosal relapse but that's the world we live in. Between him and Britney I'm a shoe in for the cash money. That's the only reason we know who they are in the first place so why shouldn't I make my cash off them, right?

If addiction is genetic then all the more reason to CONTROL yourself, right??? Not hopelessly succumb to drugs.

I hope for Steve O's sake he makes this work. Seems everyone is trying to humanize celebrities lately by exposing their addictions. Well, they are human, they are capable of falling into the trap just as well as anyone else. Probably more capable than most with the unlimited $$$ and free time to sit around, party, and get loaded. Maybe that's why it's so much more severe when it's a celeb. Or is it? There are hundreds of treatment centers around the world that deal with people that aren't celebs every day, none of them are better or worse than the other. I think it's funny how people can condemn him for making the decisions he did. Obviously Steve O wasn't the brightest guy to begin with, or he acted the idiot, and it got way out of hand when he encountered drugs and fame. Who knows, maybe the drug use was just to enhance his 'performances' in the beginning. Good luck Steve O, it'll be a hard battle.

5:41, I do feel I am a strong person because I am not addicted to pain pills, drugs, alcohol but I don't feel in any way that I am a better person than anyone. I would never say that addicts and alcoholics are weak, stupid, immoral, bad people. I don't think that at all. Everyone has their opinion and mine is that if you don't put yourself in that position, then you can beat it.

ok, i am an idiot, i see who you are talking about now!! hahahaha! WHEW LONG DAY!!

I am not quite sure who you are talking about thinking they are stronger than an addict?!? I love my mother, and I think she is one of the strongest people I know...the drug just took hold and it won't let go no matter what she does. I believe people have stronger personalities than others...like me when I was smoking...my husband can just put them down, but I was addicted, and it was hard. So, addicts aren't horrible people, they have a horrible disease.

Addiction is a disease. My mother is a drug addict and alcoholic and its very disturbing watching her. If you don't have any contact with an addict, I don't think you deserve to say its not a disease. I know on the outside it looks like the stupidest thing ever...sometimes, actually most of the time, I think that too. "How can my mother be doing this to herself and me" "Just don't do the drugs" Its just not that easy. If if was, then we wouldn't have so many people no drugs these days. Soooo...that being said, Happy Friday! :)

5:01,
I am not Mormon and did just fine. My dad's an alcoholic and I turned out just fine. I drink almost every weekend and have been doing so for the past 4-5 years and have no desire whatsoever to do it more than that. Then I had surgery several years ago and took Percocet like it was candy while recovering for about 8 weeks (2-3 times a day) and had no problem stopping it when I went back to work. So I disagree when you say that it is genetic.

I agree with Bam Margera, I'm also glad Steve-O is doing better & getting the help he needs, and hopefully, this felony possession charge will be dropped real soon!?

Addiction may be a hard thing to overcome but if you don't put yourself in that position in the first place then you don't have to worry about it. It's not like a disease that you have no control over like cancer, etc. He was stupid enough to do the drugs on his own with no help from anyone else. Therefore, he deserves no one sympathizing for him. I hope that he does get through this and turns out a better person in the end but he should get no sympathy from anyone in the meantime...especially people who don't even know him!

Actually it IS a physical disease. In case you didn't know, drugs are addictive. Once someone becomes addicted to something they have NO self-control, therefore NO choice. The World Health Organization among others define addiction as a disease.

Just because you have no experience in this area and don't want to believe it, doesn't make it untrue.

Bam is hot, but he is kind of blunt in this interview. WAY TO LAY IT ALL OUT THERE. He says Steve O is crazy several times. We get it Bam, why don't you go support your friend instead of doing interviews???!!!!!
