Steve-O from Jackass is now in rehab. The 33 year old was arrested earlier this month for possession of cocaine and was hospitalized at a mental health center. But he says that all his troubles go back to when he was a child. But now he is ready to quit.
His dad was a corporate executive whose job required the family to travel a lot. And both his mom and dad were quite self conscious of how they were perceived by others. On airplanes before his mom and dad would find themselves embarrassed of being caught by other passengers with a crying baby, he was fed alcohol.
His mothers alcohol addiction got so bad at a point where she even lied about having canser so that she could stay in bed and drink all day.  His mom is dead now and he says he misses her very much. He says he cant believe he took up a drinking habit after he watched it ruin his mother.

This is a really sad, I had no idea his childhood was like that.  I read a story recently that he was sober now for 85 days, that's really great.  Apparently Johnny Knoxville was the one who pressured him to go to rehab in the first place.
