David now credits his prison time for saving his life. While he made attempts to get sober before he was arrested they usually lead to him running away. Being imprisoned forced him to stay put long enough to get the help he needed.

Jail wasn't the end of Crosby's trouble. In 1994 years of drugs and a Hepatitis C infection caused his liver to fail. Singer-musician Phil Collins paid for the operation. While his history with drugs caused some controversy over his being granted a liver he has been healthy and sober ever since.
