‘I climbed into the trash bin’: ‘American Pie’ star describes awful moment at height of drug addiction

Actor Jason Biggs has spoken openly about his battle with cocaine addiction, describing a terrifying low point where he dug through a garbage can to recover drugs he had thrown away. The star of American Pie, who became famous early in his career thanks to the popular movie series, shared his story on the Well with Arielle Lorre podcast. He gave a clear and honest account of how deep his addiction went and how hard it was to recover.

As found by Page Six, Biggs explained how he kept falling into the same pattern of using drugs, feeling regret, and then using again. He would tell himself he was taking his last line of cocaine, throw the rest away, and then, just minutes later, the craving would hit him so strongly that he would go back to retrieve what he had discarded.
