Adam's family tells MTV, "After careful consideration we have decided
to air the show. Adam felt strongly that by doing this series he could
help other addicts who were at a crisis point to get sober. Adam was
fully aware that if it were not for his own sobriety he never would
have achieved the level of success and happiness he had found. Helping
people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam's life. It is our hope
through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam
that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and
caring person who gave so much of himself to help others. The decision
to air the show has been difficult, but we do this with the profound
belief that it will inspire others to seek help."
"Recovery can be extremely difficult and requires constant attention, said Sean Clarkin," Executive Vice President of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. "But it's important to know that it is in fact possible to present examples of people who are recognizing the need for treatment and beginning that journey."
