Have you seen Steve-O? That guy made a complete turn around.

Unless you mean the type of person Bam is specifically rather than the type of person on that show, then yeah he is still blaming everyone phase. He seems to think that the medication he was on is what made him worse at skateboarding and not his alcoholism. If you told me that the scenes in Jessi's house in Breaking Bad were based on Bam and his party house I'd believe you.

Steve-O's complete rehabilitation is an extreme outlier. Good on him, of course, but it just doesn't go that way for most people.

I meant the type of person more than anything. My mother is an alcoholic who is in complete denial over how severe the issue is (it's escalated to the point that she's lost multiple jobs and is going to have to sell her house). No amount of begging and pleading from family has swayed her. She checked into a program for a day and half before leaving AMA. There's nothing you can do for people like her, or Bam, other than let them bottom out.
