To hear him tell it, Steve-O's days of jackassery are behind him and he's ready for a clean—and sober—slate.
The thrill-seeking former MTV star entered a guilty plea today in Los Angeles to a cocaine-possession charge, announcing to the court that he "found God" and has been sober for 85 days.
Attorney Barry Gerald Sands tells E! News that because of his client's commitment and time in rehab, judgment was deferred upon successful completion of his treatment program.
"The entire case will be dismissed when he completes the program. It will be like it never happened," says Sands. "You can't beat that."
The erstwhile Jackass star, who turns 34 on Friday the 13th, was busted for felony cocaine possession March 3 at his Hollywood apartment following a run-in with a neighbor.
Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, will stay in his undisclosed rehabilitation program until the next court hearing on July 8.
Adds Sands: "He's a happy camper."
