Steven Adler was once a member of Guns n Roses. He rode with them to the top and enjoyed all the fame and fortune that their number one album, Appetite for Destruction brought. He also began to enjoy heroin.
Adler quickly became a heroin junkie and began the downward spiral that is common place for an addict. He was thrown out of the band, he lost most of his possessions and friends, he entered into a world of drugs and despair.
Finally, he realized what he had done. Adler entered into the VH1 Celebrity Rehab program to kick the habit. He was, at best, a hard person to treat. The addiction had been a part of his life for so long giving up wasn’t easy.
But eventually he won. He has kicked the habit and is proudly taking it day by day. He recently started a new band “Adler’s Appetite”, has released a song and is touring the country. A book about his ordeal is soon to be released. Drug counselors have warned him about the rock-n-roll lifestyle, but he is pursuing music again anyways. He does not want to hide from his past, but experience a new future through clear eyes.
