Actor Jason Biggs Reveals Drug Addiction Lowest Point, Sobriety Since 2017

Jason Biggs, star of American Pie, has opened up about a desperate and low moment during his addiction when he repeatedly retrieved cocaine from trash bins, including one belonging to a stranger, during a drug binge. Speaking on the Well with Arielle Lorre podcast, Biggs described how he tried to quit multiple times by throwing away cocaine, but his cravings led him to climb into trash bins and even drive to Sunset Boulevard to stash and recover the drugs. He recounted doing cocaine alone late at night while his wife was asleep and acknowledged the behavior as a sign of hitting rock bottom. Biggs credits moving from Los Angeles to New York and the city's energy with helping him overcome his addiction, achieving over seven years of sobriety. He has been candid about the fragility of early sobriety and the isolation that often led to relapse, but his story now serves as an encouraging account of recovery. His candid revelations highlight the intense struggles behind addiction and the difficult path to sustained sobriety.
