Haim later said that ''License to Drive'' was his "breaking point" for becoming addicted to drugs.<ref name="reunited"/> On April 9, 1989, Haim appeared live onstage at [[Knott's Berry Farm]] with DJ "Hollywood" Hamilton as part of a teen anti-drugs campaign. The thousand-strong audience of girls would not stop screaming and rushing the stage, and fire marshals had to escort Haim from the building amid fears for his safety. Haim later said that he was terrified of going onstage afterward, and had resolved never to go on any stage ever again.<ref>{{Cite episode|series=BlogTalkRadio|title=Corey Haim and G Tom Mac|credits=Blockhead Rod, Corey Haim, G Tom Mac|network=BlogTalkRadio|airdate=July 1, 2009|minutes=72:93}}</ref> In November 1989, fresh out of rehab, Haim released a self-promotional video titled ''Corey Haim: Me, Myself, and I'', which followed a day in his life.
