Published 2023-05-02
Brandon shares his personal journey of addiction and recovery, including his time as a cast member of the popular TV show Jackass (with stars like Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera) and his ongoing struggles with substance abuse and alcoholism. Brandon's story is one of hope and perseverance, as he has now been sober for 8 years and travels around to different addiction treatment centers to share his story. We are SO grateful for Bright Future Recovery, and their CEO Cheree Ashley, who designed an amazing event to inspire those in addiction recovery and encourage them to stay on the path of sobriety.
This event inspired the two of us to the max, and reminded us why we really do this work.
A huge thanks to Bright Future Recovery: Avila Heights for hosting, to Cheree for creating the event, and to Brandon for his authentic and amazing story of recovery.

I’m a addict I’m 54 now and I feel it’s now or never to clean up. I’m using heroin and I’m on methadone. I’m in Australia but thanks for sharing your story man. ❤

Honestly I don’t know how I beat it. It was a combination of events that pushed me into it and I’m glad it did in the end. Biggest part was locking myself away at my parents rural home for 2 years and cutting off contact with all the bad people in my life.
