This year, Steve-O celebrates 15 years sober, though he didn't celebrate it the same way he did for the 13th anniversary.

This year, entertainer Steve-O marked 15 years being sober, but we are just a tad disappointed he didn't celebrate it like he did to mark 13 years.

The Jackass star has been rather open about his sobriety journey and the setbacks he has faced in the past.

To be honest, he is one of many famous faces to open up about their dark times and difficult road to recovery.

And there is no doubt that many look up to celebrities, and them being so open about their struggles has helped many of their fans.

In fact, Steve-O had his own documentary, where an MTV program known as Steve-O: Demise and Rise looked closer at the Jackass star's drug problems.

Speaking about the doc, Steve-O said: "I watched a rough draft of it very early on and I reacted badly to it.

"When I saw the footage of myself doing drugs, I felt like I could see them, I could taste them.

"It made me crave them and as embarrassing as that footage is, that just seemed like another reason to get high. I couldn’t watch it; I haven’t watched it since then."

He continued: "The producers put it all together and finished it up without any input for me, it’s better that way."

Obviously, it is never easy to beat an addiction, so celebrating those sobriety anniversaries is certainly a must.

And how Steve-O celebrated was quite incredible, as he posted two photos to his Twitter account in 2021.

Captioning the tweet, he wrote: "So grateful to be celebrating thirteen years of sobriety today— thanks to everyone who helped me get here!"

However, the pictures accompanying this post are certainly the main talking point.

The left photo is from 2006, where Steve-O is surrounded by pills, alcohol and seemingly blood as well.

Generally, he looks quite strung out and in a rather bad way, but the second photo is a polar opposite.

In that one, from 2021, the pills and the booze have been switched out for vegetables, with Steve-O looking a lot more happier and healthier.

Another famous face celebrating 15 years sober this year is Eminem, who has opened up about his battles and demons in the past, revealing he was once taking up to 30 Vicodin (an opioid that treats severe pain) a day as well as 'anywhere from 40 to 60 Valium' (a benzodiazepine that can help people be calm).

During the documentary How To Make Money Selling Drugs, Eminem said: "I don't know at what point exactly it started to be a problem. I just remember liking it more and more."
