Sobriety doesn't happen overnight, and no one knows this better than Bam Margera. Though his DUI arrest in January 2018 seemed to be the final straw, the Jackass star spent the next year and a half in and out of rehab. According to TMZ, he kicked off 2019 with a third rehab stay. It was the second January in a that the star spent in treatment, but according to CNN, he left after just 10 days because he was "bored."
In a series of eight, handwritten letters addressed to "a**holes who want to talk s**t about my sobriety," the star opened up about his decision to dip out early. "In rehab I am bored 50 percent of the time so that's when I figured out that when boredom sets in and alcohol is off limits, that's when I get creative as f**k, an explosion of good ideas, exercise, skate, workout, yoga, hike, bike way more. Because I don't sit stagnant," he wrote.
Around six months later, Margera filmed his infamous Dr. Phil episode, where he spoke candidly about his nervous breakdown and agreed to try rehab again. TMZ claimed he headed to a treatment facility, where he planned to complete a 60 to 90 day program, but he left after just a few days. By the end of the month, he was headed to recovery yet again following a relapse.
