Sober House, Steven Adler, What the Hell ?
Man, the last Sober House episode on Vh-1 threw me for a loop. Now, I know that addicts have a slim chance of recovery, but when you go into a sober house with drugs on you, already high as a kite, then I have to ask myself what’s the point of even going?
Just in case anyone isn’t familiar with the show, Celebrity Rehab is a reality where show where celebrities all live in rehab together in order to try and live a life of sobriety. After rehab, celebs are then given an opportunity to live in a sober house, with less rules, more freedome, but yet at the same time NO drugs, alcohol, or sex.
Steven Adler, former Guns N Roses drummer, decided to try out Sober House. Yet on the first day he was high as hell, cursing, causing chaos, and sneaking off into the bathroom to smoke more heroin. Didn’t this guy realize that this was a sober house?
Now I have never been addicted to heroin, so I cannot even begin to understand how painful it must be to go through detox and rehab, just I just find it really strange that the guy would bring his drugs right into the house with him, knowing that he would have to show the house monitor everything he brought with him. Then again, maybe he is sneakier than most, because although a few needles were found, apparently the rest of his stash was well hidden as later that night he dipped away from the others to have a toke.
The most heartbreaking part was watching him walk around bombed out of his mind. He could barely walk, barely talk, and barely even put his shirt on. I feel if this guy doesn’t get more help soon, he is not gonna make it. It’s sad to see such a talent throw his life away like that.
I found this video on Youtube and thought it was fitting for Steven. Kudos to the creator, and we are pulling for you Steven.

Oh, man. Poor Steven Adler has a very persistent “monkey on his back” with that drug habit. It is somewhat a conundrum - he signs up to appear on Celebrity Rehab, knows darned well he’s going to a sober house, yet still takes his private stash of drugs with him. I don’t know how the show is set up behind the cameras, but I wonder if the producers know beforehand that he’s carrying a personal pharmacy and don’t want to interrupt the drama of the situation, or if he actually does fool everyone (or tries to) and slips the drugs past everyone’s noses?
I agree that Steven didn’t even need to be in the Sober House if he was going to bring drugs into it. He wasted his time going to the house to get better. I wonder if he was forced to get help or did he do it on his own. I hate to think that he didn’t really want to get better and that the only reason he did it was to get on television.
