- Andy Roy has been a lot of things in the past 50 years- professional skateboarder, junkie, convict and recovering addict- Now he is hosting this web show- "FILLING TIME with Andy Roy". Andy seeks out other recovering addicts to find out how they spend their time now that they are not getting high. First guest is author William Hayes (aka Scottie Schmitt) who has been writing books like THE BURDEN OF CONCRETE and KING OF THE ROAD since he has gotten clean.
I’ll be sober 8 years in November. I used to live in San Francisco and would see Andy around sometimes. Last time I saw him was in Safeway on 16th St. We were both fucked up and now we’re both clean. Seems like yesterday. The future is unwritten
I swear, the stress of boosting took more years off my life than what i was buying afterward. Great show, Andy!
With inflation as it is I take stuff like... what? WHAT? hahah I never had cash for italian pecorino or schwarzkopf shampoo when I was paying for stuff. fugg em
I’ll be 5 years sober in September after having a stroke and almost dying. I’m also relearning to skate again one of the only things I ever loved doing without drugs and alcohol.
Get a skate and a guitar. Every thing else makes me want drugs. I don't do it any more, some times I wish I did. Not the drugs but the skating. I miss that more than anything.
@@joshwest7049 Preach it!
Brother I'm gonna be 5 years clean in September too. After 20 years of ripping and running. And since getting clean I've been able to start skating again, got a get well job at a skate shop then ended up managing it. Then met my current wife. Started playing music again and now have a decently successful local band. Had a baby. And now I'm working as a recovery coach and life is beautiful. It's wild how much things can change and how lost dreams can awaken.
Six Stair kills! Can’t thank you enough for The Letters. 🔥💔
One month, and I will be two years sober… Tonight I saw a firetruck, and an ambulance come up to the Fifth house down from mine earlier that evening I had passed a group of young people, having a great time grilling, and chilling… I knew it was gonna be overdose and sure enough it was…. You cannot fuck around anymore. I like your videos. Thank you for keeping me alive one more day.
I was staying at a hotel in Long Beach called la pasada. There was all kinds of different people there: ex-cons, disability, schizo, etc. One day I heard someone died and I thought: it coulda been any one of those people and I wouldn’t be surprised. It was a place where people go to decide if they’re gonna live or die.. I think that’s part of what helped me decide to change. 11 years sober!!
Thanks Andy! Been in that "living hell" of existence myself! Hang five to the Six stairs guys for filming, "producing" this !! At our ages , we have lost too many to this insanity! Love and respect to all of you!!
Thank you so much for sharing. 2 of the most raddest guys I know. 🤘🏼 Love that you are sober and sharing your experiences and allowing us to be apart of your journey. ❤ sobriety happens. 🎸 🎶 🛹 🙏🏼 🔥
This came out great! That Guitar center "actual reenactment" is choice.
I remember just walking out with an acoustic bass like I owned it. No one said didley. Can't do it today. 😢. But that bass changed my life and formed an income formed a band but wouldn't think twice about Not doing that today. It's not a great thing to do. Apparently
This shit is real as fuck. I don’t know I still deal with shit mentally even with seven years clean. I’m just rambling but I’m happy/lucky to be here today. Whoever is out there dealing with addiction there is hope for you. I didn’t think I’d make it to this side but I did.
Nobody does I think, but glad to have you here.
Great video! Respect to you guys and all the old school punk rockers out there. From Philly, Got 10months clean right now. Just lost my housing bc haven't been able to find a job in 2.5 months due to me record and lack of job history. If you've never done opioids, don't.
Keep em coming
Fuck yeah thx for sharing this. Been clean for almost a handful of years now, hasn’t been easy but ain’t looking back.
Modesto's gnarliest son. Much love Andy
Man, this is amazing. I want to read that book now! You rock, Andy. Love what you do. Had 10 years, went back to that life of hell during the pandemic, coming back up on 3 here next month and skating every day. Got my passion back. Super grateful. 🙏 Keep doing what you do and carry the message, homie. 🤟❤
This resonates so much ❤
Yessss!!!! He’s back! Best dude ever!
Can’t wait for episode 2!
amazing bro! im one year clean from the streets of the TL in sf..i know your familiar with that. looking forward to more of these episodes, great work!
Look forward to the next ep Andy. Very cool 😎
Hahahaha I remember cyborg jack. Modesto legend. He would show up at graceada all the time when we would be skating.
Andy is the man.
Sick, love it
Andy looking fuckin yoked Bro!! Soooo happy to see this latest happy chapter unfold for you man.
Killer episode can't wait for the next.
This is great, not what I was expecting.
much love andy im sure i had your board back in the day... the skater lifestyle of that era got me too and im still struggling every week to come of H and methadone and benzos and i want to live life and be happy. im so ready andy! i wish i had an emotionally safe environment to detox and some rehab time and therapy. im glad you did it. we took the wrong road thinking it was cool or something and it slowly progressed into being awful. im so glad you got well so you can tell the young skaters that they dont need drugs. thankfully for those kids its a different era for better or for worse.. certainly a healthier era and much higher level of skating. much love
Big ups to Andy one of the reasons I decided to change the way I live my life
So stoked on this. Andy and SixStair -GTFOH... Can only be epic....
I had two brothers die from heroin. It's definitely the worst drug anyone could do. I can't understand why anyone would want to waste their life on that junk. People that have a heroin problem should think of their family and friends and how much they would be missed if they were gone. You can't depend on narcan to be around to save you're life it wasn't around for my brothers. What you're doing here is good . Andy we've met at Skatopia. We talked but we never mentioned heroin and how stupid it is and how it kills people. Thanks for making this vid.
Nice re-enactment Charno. Rad show
Bought Burden of Concrete a few weeks ago. Can't wait to check it out!
Yessss Andy!
You can reach a lot of people Andy!
You’re a REAL one man.
Proud of you brother!!

TRGH
So glad I quit when the dope was real. The new shit is bleak.
Fuckin A. The Farts. You being like wait.... I know that guy's name. Hahahahah. Guitr cntr boosts we are one in the same my dude. Love yas
Really? Andy is the last person to give a platform to. Dude is the worst.
It's youtube. Anyone can have a "platform" here... even you!
Seriously. So many other positive voices in recovery and skateboarding. We can do so much better.
Andy Roy intentionally infects women with herpes. He bragged about it in a Big Brother interview and continues to do this to women who are too young to know about Big Brother. There are plenty of other people who can be a positive voice of recovery. This dude ain’t it.
Please don't make this like stevo. Tired of all the sober shit. Stevo sucks so please don't make andy that way
Met Andy at the gym dudes so cool fucking solid dude
RAD sounds like Kerouac poems from the street
