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&amp;apos;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.&amp;#xA0; 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.&amp;quot;Each episode features DJ AM -- who had been sober for 11 years after a long battle with drug addiction -- meeting with the addicts, friends and families to explore their willingness to change.\r\nSee photos of today&amp;apos;s top news stories\r\n&amp;quot;His mission was to help as many people as he could and this series was a way for him to help on a bigger level,&amp;quot; MTV said in a statement about Gone Too Far. &amp;quot;Through interviews and self-shot video from the addicts and their families, the severity of their addiction and its impact is exposed. Adam often uncovers and reveals new information that even those closest to the addicts are unaware.&amp;#xA0; Along the road to recovery, Adam made the time to see how their rehabilitation was progressing, providing a raw and honest look at their new sobriety.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
