Bam Margera knows what everyone is thinking. After suffering an injury while skateboarding in early March, fans feared the Viva La Bam star would relapse and return to his old ways. “I don’t have the best track record,” he admits. He’s not wrong: In the first half of 2023 alone, Margera was arrested twice, lost custody of his 6-year-old son, Phoenix, and endured a 5150 psychiatric hold, which led many to believe he was stuck in a self-destructive cycle.
Last June, Margera was at his wit’s end and bought a cocktail of drugs to end his life. However, fate intervened: He woke up and crossed paths with his now-fiancée, Dannii Marie. “[When we met] I was in [multiple] lawsuits and pulling my hair out during a never-ending custody battle,” he explains. “I was ready to check out — and she saved me.”
With Dannii by his side, he kicked his addiction by detoxing at a friend’s home in August. Today, he’s eight months sober. “I was a mess at times, but I’ve changed my ways and could not be on more of the right path,” Margera, 44, tells Us. “If anybody out there thinks they’re doomed, it’s too late, and there’s no help or hope, think again.” Here, the Jackass alum comes clean about hitting rock bottom and finding his way back.
What have you learned about yourself since getting sober?
