Corey Taylor - Slipknot/Stone Sour. Here's a little about his triumphant battle with alcoholism:
"Known as "The guy that was always ready to go out and do shots", Taylor's drinking became more problematic as time went by. Eventually, it reached a point where Taylor would begin to drink as soon as he got up in the morning and generally would not stop until blacking out. According to Taylor, the problem began to eat away at his family life as he became more and more apethetic to the people and things sourrounding him. Taylor finnally made several attempts at suicide. All this cumulating to the night of November 14th, 2003. On this night Taylor was about to jump off the 8 story balcony of the Hyyat on Sunset Boulevard, Skarlett, His wife at the time, managed to talk him down. After this incident Skarlett told him either he had to sober up, and start being a father and husband or she was leaving with their kids. Taylor chose to quit drinking and go sober rather than lose his family. The next year would prove the be "The Worst Year Of His Life" as Taylor struggled to redefine himself as a person and give up his partying persona and repair the damage that he had done to his body. He spent the year in "Self-Imposed Isolation", claiming that he "Pushed his wife away for a while and was a really selfish, cold dick". In the process, the struggle would fuel some of his songs with Stone Sour, such as "Socio" and "Zzyzx Rd". Finnally, Taylor would come to grips with his sobriety and began to use it as a source of inspiration."
