I was lucky enough to do an episode with him shortly before he passed. Having this video recording brings some comfort when I start thinking about him and begin falling into that dark place. Being sober makes this so much harder. When I was a drunk I didn't feel anything. Now I am forced to feel and deal. Who I am would not be possible without Finn.
