Jason Biggs climbed into trash can to get drugs during bender

American Pie star Jason Biggs has admitted he hit rock bottom in his struggle with addiction when he climbed into a trash can to retrieve a bag of cocaine after throwing it away in a bid to end his bender.

Jason Biggs “climbed into a trash bin” in a desperate search for drugs during an all-night bender.

The American Pie star, 37, is celebrating more than seven years sober after a long battle with addiction issues and he’s revealed his low point came during a night at home in 2008 when he threw a bag of cocaine away in a bid to end a drugs binge but he ended up sorting through the garbage in a bid to retrieve it.

During an appearance on the Well with Arielle Lorre podcast, Jason explained: “I lived in the gray area, but I have ‘snorting dust off the floor’ stories or similar to that.

“One of my craziest stories was, I was doing cocaine by myself in my house, and I did what I said was the last line. Within 15 minutes, as soon as my last bump is wearing off, I’m like: ‘What am I doing?” I go into my trash, and I take it out, and I do a line … “

Jason- who would often do drugs alone late at night after his wife had gone to bed – revealed he threw the bag away for a second time when he decided to call it a night, but he ended up going through the trash again.

He went on; “Before I took the Ambien [sleeping pill], I was like: ‘One more’. I went outside, and I climbed into the trash bin and got the bag of coke and went upstairs and did another line.

“I was like: ‘What the f*** am I doing? This is absolutely insane’.”

Jason eventually tried to get sober, but found himself slipping back into bag habits whenever he was alone, adding: “I would find myself alone and isolating, and I would find myself breaking whatever sobriety I had. It was incredibly fragile, obviously, in those early days.”

However, he credits moving from Los Angeles to New York in 2015 with helping him conquer his demons for good.

He explained: “There’s something about the energy of New York that gives me something, that fills me in a way that Los Angeles couldn’t.

“But I do believe coming to New York helped me. So, I did fall off the wagon here, but that was seven and a half years ago, and it’s been going well.”
