I love Pete. He’s such a beautiful, genuine soul and I hope he’s here for a long time.

“I’m having dreams now” me taking a tolerance break

Now he knows he gets bored because of his BPD. One of the main symptoms of BPD is feelings of emptiness, which most people would call boredom.

I identify 150% with Pete's story, it's not opiates, it's what normal addictions do to depressed and anxious people

Then he started hanging with MGK😂

You can tell he's uneasy with everyone else over talking him

I have 71 days clean and I'm so fucking bored!!!! Lmfao. I feel his pain. Every day gets better.....they say😂

Too many hosts man, all the laughing and talking over was giving me anxiety along with Pete xD

I love how down to earth these guys are!!!

To the people jumping to defend your one true love, marijuana, chill out. Heavy weed use can cause withdrawals when you quit. I've withdrawn from weed. I had night sweats and I've sweat during the day while freezing my ass off. You can get headaches, you can get depressed, bored, anxious, have mood swings, and you can seriously crave getting high. And yeah, detox can last a month because THC gets stored in your fat. That's why you can test positive on a drug test after quitting a month ago if you're a heavy user. Weed can keep you from having dreams. It can keep you from having a healthy REM cycle. Just because it's not as physically damaging as any other mind/mood altering drug, that doesn't mean marijuana is perfect. Marijuana Anonymous exists for a reason.

luv him best part of snl congrats man

2 years clean, no alcohol, no pot nothing. My only drug is my toddler who made me quit all this shit and live a real life along him. He is my only purpose, to watch him grow/ help him/ showing him how to invent toys/ teaching him about life.

you just have to remember that 'boring' is good. lol. a lot of people are addicted to drama, and using and drama, go hand-in-hand.

I smoke weed and haven’t dreamt since (aside from the odd occasion) these are exactly the side effects of this not opiates, I also sweat anytime I take a break from it and struggle to sleep. The whole passing out not sleeping thing is spot on

Methamphetamine recovery / withdrawal feels the same way... Nothing is enjoyable and in fact you don't even want to get up and do anything but you will at the same time feel anxious and guilty for not doing anything... Good luck trying to take a nap without any tranquilizer ...you will just be stuck in bed with no willpower to do anything productive while beating yourself up about it for hours and the days take so long ...so so long.... and there's nothing to even look forward to that the day is ending, other than maybe you'll be tired enough to sleep. But then in the morning you wake up with a feeling of dread that cannot be shook. That you have to do this all again and many more days to follow. I think there must be some type of antidepressant that can help with this interim low

To get sober is a battle and it is also a battle to stay sober once you get clean. You just gotta take it one day at a time. It's the cliche thing to say but it is true. Being sober can be boring at first but it does get better with time. You have to motivate yourself and remind yourself everyday of why you decided to get clean and focus on that. It's not easy to win the fight against addiction but it can be done

On my third week of sobriety over here and I can't believe how much I relate to Pete when he was detoxing.

Time is the enemy of sobriety

Oh my GOSH! I love your fkn smile and voice and your FACE and your comedy MAKES MY DAY!

Yo Pete needa start playing video games honestly, could you imagine a twitch tv account of Pete playing

No neck, no hands! *has writing tattooed on neck*

haha the time...such truth. I’m like sooooo, I woke up..went to beach w coffee, made breakfast 🍳 stared into space for a while, made some art..& there’s like half the day left. Is this why people work??? lol

Shouts to Pete, that is great. But what the fuck is on his neck?

Shrooms get really really awful if you do them too often, he ain't kidding.

I'm literally wearing the exact same shirt.

"Is Pete's tattoos a drug regret?" Hahaha ouch.

I don't care what anybody says if you smoke weed for a year or longer everyday like cigarettes and you stop you definitely will have some psychotic tendencies. I smoked crack for 4 years and quitting weed is way harder for me personally

HES WEARING A DUCKTALES SHIRT YES

I suffer from BPD as well and let me tell you, weed was hell for me. Most of people underestimate the psychedelic effect of weed and for someone who suffers from BPD weed makes you feel paranoid, depressed, anxious, not to mention psychotic/euforic episodes once in a while. I used to have full on panic attacks in public when I was high on weed. To the point of passing out in public toilets floors like a goddamn crackhead. Also, the combination of weed, psychedelics and mental illness is pretty fucked up. I can't even imagine the psychologic damage Pete was going through. Weed can be damaging to some people, weed's not for everyone, especially those with mental illness.

I love that Pete is growing up and helping others by being honest about his problems. The fact he says, "it fucking sucks!' I'm going through some bipolar shit and films, movies, music, it's really hard listening and focusing on things that made you happy but now just dont do it... we'll all get past this but shit it's hard right now!

crohnes is fucking killing me, pete really gives me hope man

I feel like in this point in his life he felt like he needed to stop everything witch I’m glad happened because now he knows what he can and can’t do like, he quit dugs but pot and drinking he knows he can handle but I used to be really concerned about some of the really addictive drugs he was taking.

Its booze.. im trying to quit and thats all they symptoms. Sweating, boredom, depression.

Here for Pete. 💘

Can totally feel him when he says it feels like crap when you become sober it sure does like everything does the day feels so longer like I be so lazier now and feel like I got a lot more time on my hand

this must have been before he got the BPD diagnosis

I relate so much with this dude...

Pete, I get it totally. Good job. Love you on SNL. I am a Registered Nurse and I am dealing with recovery too! You have so many funny stories now though right? It will be a good thing for your work on the show. Peace. "Draining the swamp!!!" That is funny shit. I am recovering from opiates for 5 years now. Weather or not he is on opiates or not is not important. As long as he is off ALL meds he is going to do awsome. 3 weeks sober is awsome. Pete you do look much better. Borredem is your true enemy now. Good thing SNL is crazy busy. Look foreward to see you on the show! COOOOOOL!

what happened to "no neck no hands"? xD

That last minute really woke me up, maybe cause I didn't think he would say that,

the boys are having fun about a rather serious matter.

he looks misrible

He’s so fucking adorable. 😍😌

It's been almost 5 years for me and it still sucks sometimes.

Sober for 21 years and I still can't stop thinking about getting high, for all of you preachers of sobriety out there, you know that if you could get away with it without going completely of the rails , you would indulge , tell me I'm lying

I love Pete's honesty. ❤

"No neck no hands- Yakuza style" Well...that didn't last, but he still seems healthy and happy.

So much love for Pete. Fuck all you haters. You have no idea what he's been through.

4:57 That's not a topless woman. I checked.

I just want him to be this sober so he can be healthy. I hated seeing he was taking drugs again.

It is pretty wild though living four years in the future and seeing how many times he talks about getting sober. Like hopefully he'll find a happy balance

Gets sober then judges guy saying "that's sad" like even if it is...

I think Pete is awesome and I wish him all the success in the world, I really hope he finds some way to go to group therapy maybe in disguises or something to avoid being mauled, but he needs to surround himself with sober like minded ppl. Boredom is a killer. People, places, and thing gotta change. I wish him the best.

This interview is fucking awesome. Everyone's on their a-game. Thanks Op.

I always tell people, like don’t drink and text….dont detox and text. Im sober and sometimes it really does suck. Sometimes I just want to get high but I’m 2 years sober. Not turning back.

So glad to hear this Pete you have too much going for you don’t waste your time, money or energy on that stuff. Proud of you keep it up

Today I'm 7 weeks sober. Def feel a lot better, but, still sucks.

Anyone else love his t-shirt? :)

Pete we love you don’t listen to the shrooms please don’t die

"I've been high for eight years."

Love the Miller high life ad before watching this!

did anyone else see a juul in his hand

Love all the potheads in the comments blatantly pretending weed isn't a drug 😂

There an old saying in AA or NA " another boring day "

Imagine your radio show sucking so bad that I got replaced by Jim and Sam 😂

he is a sweetheart

Can’t believe so many people hate on this man - seems like a genuine dude

lmfao nothing but the truth with this man

Honestly, I've found people so bored when they quit things reveals how boring they are without them. Not intended as a roast, just observation. Same with tatts.

Sweat Pete! Sweet Pete:)

Why so many dislikes already? This was a great clip!

As of 2021 only 3 of these 5 are alive.

Good on him for getting sober, but man, he had to have been taking something more than the wacky tobacky given the withdrawal symptoms and copious detoxing.

It's good to be in the present, welcome back, with great power comes great responsibility(spidey), kudos to the self realization, love your work and we want you around, best wishes

Is that sherrod small? I havent seen him in years lmao he did a remix of chocolate rain with john mayer thats amazing 😂

Fits really by Kolovani

So the kids are calling heroin 'Pot' now?

Feel this just quit everything man the days are long and feels like movies and video games not as fun but gonna keep it up 👍

well if thats what YOU feel like you needa do then great but i hate seeing people not do this or not do that because of other peoples thoughts. when you do that you give in to that opinion and give it credibility instead of push through the struggle on the pursuit of achieving self appreciation.

HITS DIFF WHEN YOUR DRUINK

10:13 😭 fax

Sober life ROCKS! It doesn't suck. These ideas are so worldly. Prescriptions are more propaganda $$ poppers than helpful. Pete we met a couple years ago. Your eyes were filled with hope. Hope you get back on track. 12 steps work if you work them. Promise. #CKASGD

Dude was doin dope...i smoked weed for YEARS and stopped and never sweat like that......i also shot dope for 2 years and thats exactly what the symtoms are when youre detoxing....n the fact he was mia........dope

Duck Tales lol

How the fuck is Opie not doing better than Jim and Sam... this show sucked at first ill admit but this had me glued listening the whole time as well as a lot of other opie videos. The Jim and Sam shit I shut off either halfway in or 20 seconds in.

I'm on crack

Love this

beautiful choice So happy for him

Yeah Pete! Go get it

Quitting fucking sucks. I never was crazy about alcohol, but I fell in love with weed. But I quit that and dabs a few days ago after heavy smoking every day for a month and I still feel like a half a person. But you just got a ride it out. You’re going to spend a lot of waking moments feeling mad shitty and wanting to smoke for relief, but you gotta buck up and wait out the time your brain needs to get used to being sober. But yeah, life is boring now. But life has always been boring. Can’t be mad at shit that’s out of your control.

I know exactly you say its different for everyone....I got ready for work went to walk out farted and shit my pants hot in trouble for being kate for work but couldn't tell my boss why lol...

I used to smoke weed everyday for years. Stopped smoking and the feeling he has was actually for like 2 3 weeks. Now I dont miss it at all anymore and like the same things I did before I quite Also, I love now smoking weed sometimes and ill get superhigh for a day. And its way more fun then it used to be when it was more my normal state of mind.

I would like to point out that he had a neck and hand tattoos, but also he must of gotten himself some prison tats since this interview

Is he still sober

God damn this makes me want a drink

hey regardless its good he came to that decision and got sober. its hard af. because reality isnt really that awesome all the time.

I smoke weed everyday but thats it no alcohol no cigs no hookah lol like seriously nothing but weed and I honestly feel fine and great but when i dont have weed the days do drag honestly but everyone needs that cause that means u have time to make history!

Lol drain the swamp 😂

I hope you stay sober man!

I quit everything and i dont miss it. Todays movies and music sucked before and im more aware now how much it sucked. Food though is dull now i will admit that but i dont eat as much. So thats better. Ive been off everything so long when im near a cigaret i get a headache and 1 beer gets me buzzed. Honestly i dont miss it, god bless you if your struggling its better on this side than it is on the otherside. I hope your family and friends is worth it to quit.
