On Thursday, West Chester native Bam Margera had more than one thing to celebrate, writes Michael Rellahan for The Daily Local News.

The former Jackass star turned 44 on Sept. 28, which also marked 30 days of sobriety for him.

Margera, who has been facing legal issues lately, has also finally been able to resume his favorite hobby, skateboarding. He had seemingly retired from it as he struggled with alcohol and substance abuse. However, his improvement has not gone unnoticed by the media.

A recent article posted on Yahoo News touted the important milestones he had achieved in his sobriety and other progress he has made.

“A source close to the star disclosed to the news outlet that he now goes to the gym with his girlfriend and walks their dogs on a local farm,” stated the article. “Margera has also lost some weight and revealed how much he missed skating. Despite years of on-and-off sobriety, Margera’s friends are still very supportive and hope for the best for him.”
