In 2006 during the media feeding frenzy that erupted over Britney Spears very public breakdown, Craig Ferguson used his opening Late Late Show monologue to compassionately talk about it and also to discuss his recovery from alcoholism

I'm doing a submission this year!
I'm reading a poem I wrote while studying for my degree, from which I graduated 🎓 last July.
My poem is called I Come From....
I'll be showing a sideshow of photos of my journey from a child, to addict, to being in recovery!

Trying to craft clever social media posts is tiring.
So to put it frankly, I’m trying to drum up support for my indy books - The 27 Club and Parklife - dark Northern comedies set in the 90s, exploring mental health/stigma
I’d love a share to get them out into the world more 🙏

21 years ago this month I went to rehab, connected with others in recovery and had my life transformed. 2 years later I started the process that founded LEAP. Next month I’m retiring. Sadness and joy combined. What a journey! Thanks to all my fellow travellers.

I highly recommend the movie Clean and Sober, if you haven’t already seen it. It’s not a story of an ideal recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, because Michael Keaton’s character is not an ideal candidate for recovery. He tells too many lies, especially to himself, and he doesn’t much like to accept advice. He is still somewhat seduced by the notion that he can do some repairs on his old lifestyle, and it will still work. But by the end of the movie there is some hope that he may be able to get straight.
