Craig Ferguson's story

I had watched this a couple of years ago and just loved it. I thought about it again tonight and went and found it. I'm sure it has been posted here before but I thought there might some newcomers that would get something out of watching Craig tell his story....

I've seen that before, but I always find it inspiring. The fact that he would share his personal story with millions of viewers is awesome.

I have heard some of his story before how he was in a punk band, I always think about how he says if he starts doing something he doesn't think is right on the show, how he will quit. That is what sobriety has taught me, is that if I keep on not being true to what i think is true, I will damage myself and others.

One of the best clips about sobriety out there.

I've shown this to my friends and family b/c it's a way for them to sort of "get it".

Wanted to bump this post to the top again, watched video a couple of times, very inspiring. Started reading his book, amazing story of a life riddled with drug/booze addiction. This guy is clearly winning.
