Bam Margera reflects on his decision to stop drinking as the most positively impactful one he’s ever made, acknowledging the damage drugs and alcohol caused to his body.
Margera candidly admits to wasting time and destroying his body with substance abuse, acknowledging that he thought he was having a good time at the moment.
A doctor once compared Margera’s legs to “dry-rotted rubber bands” due to alcohol abuse, prompting him to realize the extent of the damage he had done to his body.
Margera attributes his embrace of drugs and alcohol to being a late bloomer and struggling to set new goals for himself after focusing solely on skating in his younger years.
Margera’s wake-up call to sobriety came after experiencing five seizures in a row and waking up in a hospital unable to breathe on his own, leading him to fully shift into a sobriety-focused mindset.
