Craig Ferguson was my sober guiding light: How the “Late Late Show” host made me want to stop drinking - Salon.com
I was in kind of a funk earlier and I read this. Not real familiar with Craig Ferguson but the message in this article really spoke to me. I hope it does to you as well.

I've always enjoyed watching him. Didn't know he was an alcoholic, though. I watched the video in the article. Takes a lot of courage and confidence to talk about it like he did.

Thanks for sharing.

I had never seen the video either. I thought what he spoke was very well said, especially the thinking problem. This article really spoke to me also. I thought the author was dead on when he talked about how like booze is everywhere and to most it's nothing but to us its hazardous. And how someone like Ferguson can be great without booze.

I've seen that clip a few times. I love it! He is a role model.

how ironic that I watched his comedy special on netlfix last nite and then see this now. he talks openly about it in his special too. works it into his act.
good guy.
