In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Six days sober today. I’m a 56 year old lawyer. I got whatever I wanted because as a Federal Prosecutor I had “credibility’”. Now I’m a grandmother. No one can avoid struggle and pain. It comes for us all, it’s supposed to. I’m going to be the calm in the storm when it comes for my two boys. One is already struggling with addiction. I’ve never admitted to this to anyone. This is my first time.

My brother had problems with drugs and alcohol. Every time I see this video in health class, I have to hold back tears. Chris is so inspiring and I wish my brother had seen this. I hope others see this. I hope they get better, and I hope they live a happy life. ❤️

This man saved my life, his book "Basketball Junkie" I read front to back on a flight from Boston back to San Francisco and have been sober since. Thank you Chris for helping me get help.

I believe that all schools need speakers like this because people are still clueless about the power of addiction. They dont know how low the lows are and how high the highs are. Only the addict knows how it feels. The family knows the hell, but only the addict knows the pure desperation of addiction. The Herron Project is doing god's work.

U spoke to my class freshman year and I waved u off as a cult leader. Junior year I started substances and was quickly hooked. I got sober sophomore year of college and now have a podcast doing what u do. Thank u Chris🤞

He came to my school 6000 kids all stood up and clapped, inspired and it changed me. I'll never do drugs. I'm a freshmen.

Some people are just meant for something else. He is helping many people in ways he could never had done as an NBA hall of famer. Might not be as flashy a position, but in the end he found his purpose and that's worth a lot more.

Hello Chris, thank you for your testimony about your struggle with addiction, I too am an addict . On day 3 of sobriety from hydrocodone after more than 30 years. 3 days ago I was on the verge of losing my wife due to my choices of substance abuse! After hearing your story, it brought me to tears because I wish I had been sober sooner, your story touched me in so many relatable ways but the fact that you figured it out at 32 and I am now 53, it broke my heart! I started my journal today and overcame another hurdle by admitting to my wife and family that I had been stealing pills from my sister we care for who has bone cancer. I have a long road to recovery from this addiction so again thank you for touching my life! I will celebrate one year alcohol free in 4 days, just wish I had done this sooner! God Bless!

He visited my school today, and honestly I wasn’t expecting much. But his talk was amazing! Such an amazing story!

My teacher assigned me to watch this video. I'm very against drugs. But this I needed to see.

Mr herren you may not know me. you went to my school and I respect you a lot. Many people ain't as strong as you. You never gave up on yourself and you succeed.

i remember when Chris Herren came to my school and talked, afterwards i went to talk with him and i started to cry while talking with him, he gave me a hug two times, it was really nice of him to come to my school and give me a hug when i was talking to him about what's happened in my family and stuff

Chris, I have struggled with addiction through out high school. I have been kicked out of schools, lost friends and I have put my family through hell. I have been sober for 2 years now and sometimes I tell myself I can use again. Whenever I get those feelings, I watch one of your videos and it reminds me of what path I need to go down and that I need to keep working on my sobriety. Thank you
