DJ AM Wanted To Help Addicts Like Himself
Posted on Sat Aug 29, 2009 08:30 AM PDT
DJ AM was set to launch the MTV show "Gone Too Far," in which he would help drug and alcohol addicts get sober and regain their lives.
Adam spoke to MTV less than a month ago about the experience of shooting the series, and he even recounts a scene in which he walked into a bodega in New York and bought a crack pipe simply to illustrate how easy it was to purchase drug paraphernalia. He recounts how holding the pipe in his hand made him sweat and a flood of memories washed over him from the days when he couldn't live without the his "drug of choice."
You have to watch this chilling interview ...
Why did he turn around and go backward?

Anyone knows if Nicole Richie is really in labor?
how you can help addicts when you're still one of them ?!
I was really surprised about Nicole Ruchie's silence on Michael Jackson's death,her godfather.I hope this time it won't be the same...
8:58 are you serious? What do you expect?! It's her private life...
LMAO.. go figure another dead celebrity wannabe crack head.
We can only guess at this point as to why Adam made the choice to go back to drugs. There will always be speculation that the plane crash was too much for him, that his girlfriend breaking up with him recently was just too much. This is a man that had been sober for 11 years. Watching this interview, he very much appears to be a sober person. Someone not actively using drugs. Something happened after that point in time. It's not up to us to judge him. It's a terrible loss and the fact that what most of you are concerned with when watching that video is whether or not NIcole has had her baby yet and calling him a crack head, is incredibly sad. He was out there trying to help others. He made a difference in so many lives. Instead of insulting him take a minute to show a little respect for the good this man brought to the world.
Wow! no one knows what really happened...most addicts or former addicts try and help others when they know that drugs are not the answer. But being close to addicts can trigger former addicts to go back to it. We dont know if thats what caused him to die but everyone needs to stop judging him and stop calling him names. We dont know what he went through first hand so dont judge!
sad. when he talks about holding the pipe ...you can tell his addiction was a constant struggle to stay sober.
hE SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM MARY KATE oLSEN. oHW EL ITS TOO LATE NOW MYBE HIS DEATH WELL BEA WAKE -UP CALL TO BRAD pITT ADN SOME OF THE OTHER CLEB DRUGGIES.
He should have never been part of that addict intervention show. A former addict is never over their addiction completely. If the planets are perfectly aligned (stress, depression, being dumped) that's all that is needed for an addict to use again. It sounds like he had lifelong major depression and suicide attempts. He was fertile soil for this to happen.
He did his job. He showed to everyone what happens when you use drugs. Good job! No the smartest way, but...
