When things aren't going my way and I am feeling that spiritual cholesterol, I maintain the grind and know I will be alright.

from Remember Your Why · host Kristen

Craig has come a long way and really believes he is living in the second half of his life.Craig's first drink was at 7 years old and he realized that the funny sensation he got would eventually subside in his stomach, and he did this for another 30 years. He started to get arrested at age 15/16 and his PO would send him to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and at that age he actually believed the people were happy. But he wasn't ready to go to any lengths back then. He didn't know then how bad it was going to get, but he wasn't ready. In 2005, he was incarcerated with his second state bid- he got 10 years- and went in there with a head full of AA. He became a peer counselor and it was a very coveted position in a maximum security prison. At the time he was terrified but was getting ready to go on parole, so didn't want to lose the opportunity. It played a big part in his growth and it taught him a lot.  Craig has a lot of wisdom and knowledge and quite a story to share...Hear it here!
