Here is the trailer for MTV’s documentary “Gone Too Far”, the one-hour, seven-episode documentary series hosted and developed by Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein. The show premieres on Monday, October 12th at 10pm ET/PT and chronicles young addicts between the ages of 20-25 in the grip of addiction who are offered a chance at recovery.
Are you planning on tuning in? I still can’t believe they are going to air it.









I probably won’t be watching this. The timing of it makes me feel like they’re just capitalizing on his death and I think that’s shameful.
I won’t watch it either.
not sure if i’ll be watching but it should be interesting.
I might catch it on a rerun, because we all know they will probably air this many, many times.
How tragic that even after being a part of something like this he still couldn’t overcome his demons. I wonder how the people that were part of the documentary feel about his death?
i’m not interested in watching a dead from an OD addict ‘sponsoring’ other addicts.
Was he using when he made this video? Even if he wasn’t, the people I know who have been through rehab don’t stop considering themselves addicts. I also think it’s far better that somebody who has been through it is in a better place to try to help people than somebody whose only experience with addiction is a chapter in a psychology textbook.
I just wonder how those people that he supposedly helped feel now that he died from an OD? He wasn’t even really recovered himself after all…
he was clean for a decade. thats got to count for something.
Do addicts ever really consider themselves to be recovered, though? I have a friend whose been through rehab and she (and others in her group) have always considered themselves “in progress.” I think the mentality is that saying you’re no longer an addict opens yourself up to a false sense of security that makes it easier to lapse back into heavy usage.
I am definitely going to watch. It makes me so sad though that, even though he was able to reach out and help others (which is awesome), he couldn’t help himself.
i’m going to watch, he still helped those people.
sorry, but it doesn’t work that way. if you can’t help yourself, you can’t help others. you don’t know if any of these people stayed clean and sober.
If I have the opportunity, I’ll check it out.
It probbly has sent a stronger message to those he helped and ther adicts, that he has died from that lifestyle. Porbably ‘helps’ morethan we know, although that is the most tragic and sad nd unintentional way of doing so.
I would love to watch it… I love Adam and think he was a fabulous person and very talented. I am GLAD they will be airing it– we need to remember what Adam was about and we just need more positive in the world/media in general. So its great to see a show abotu real love and not all those trashy shows instead.
