Danny Trejo talks about getting Sober and Fighting for His Life 

Awesome, I have been clean and sober since 3/28/1989!

Awesome journey. Today is my 10 year sobriety birthday. Helping others is the way to keep what you got. :-)

Always loved Danny as an actor but never knew his name or story, awesome to here it.

God bless this lovely man.

So im talking to God just A Few days ago .asking him to help me . I tell him that I cant do it on my own , Mr. Trejo today God spoke to me through you. You have inspired me .addiction is a horrible monster. I have told God that I to will help another once I get right.

Danny...Your an asset to our society, we need more people like you to give good advice to the kids growing up!

90 days next week, thanks for the inspiration Danny

Wow this man is a true inspiration, and a true leader. God bless you brother.

What a great guy. He is one of the very few people in show business that is actually thankful to the man upstairs for living a great life and helping others out in the process. I've always heard he was a humble person.

What an amazing human being this man is!

Inspirational man, making a difference for thousands of young men, well done Danny! Great actor too!

Truly a man tested in faith but survived to teach others. Well done

I hope some day I will be able to say this too : I have been sober for 46 years and i had a great great life.

man I know that road , shot up cocaine for 15 years and quit cold turkey , no rehab no nothing just shut it down , its amazing what your body will do when you stop feeding the venom into your veins . it was hard the hardest thing I ever did , but I made it , with the help of my parents and girlfriend who is now my wife . it has taken its toll on me thou but I manage . married to the same women for 16 years blessed with 2 wonderful little girls . left my pass in the pass and started over

WOW. Helping others never gets old. We always have our needs met when we do so; and most often we have our wants satisfied as well.

of course its not a viral video; we need more danny trejos

May the lord continue to bless you.

One of my favorite people. Good or bad, he is cool.

amazing.

How can anyone give this video a dislike! What, they don't like to hear about someone turning his life around?! Strange world...........

Very Awesome..Didn't know this about Mr. Danny Trejo. Much Respect. God blesses us so we can bless others. 🙏💕

what a class act - very inspiring

Mr Danny, I've had so much love for you since I was a teen, and learned of you from Heat and Dusk Til Dawn. You're an awesome, AWESOME person and actor. You're an inspiration. Salute, sir. Peace and love to you and yours.

well done Danny, very inspirational.

clean and serene, I'm proud of you. thank you for sharing. May H.P. bless you.

Rite on!! Machete..im glad to know u now personally understanding how its a blessing to be sober &clean. Peace

Thanks for sharing, you never know when you are planting the seed to help another person. God bless and keep sharing. It works if you work it.

Thank you. Start my journey today.

Danny for president!!!!

thanks Danny. I'm nearly 60 myself. I'm trying hard to fight through my own addictions and issues, but maybe not hard enough. It was great to see this interview. I have been a member of AARP also, and it's very surprising to me that they present your interview here. Certainly, no matter who posts it, you have a great story. But what does AARP wish to gain? Regardless, I have a lot more respect (I already had a lot) for you, and your talents (if not your drive which is even better). I wish I could meet you somewhere. I could use the motivation myself sometimes at this age. You seem to present that you have it sorted out, as I used to think that I do, but then you realize you are a very small part of the overall picture. I find it difficult at times. I've been through quite a bit, but I keep on keeping on. I know I am insignificant, and that in itself is very sobering. Regardless, Happy Holidays Danny. I never thought I'd make you my 'go to guy' for 2015. But you are. And it fits my life totally. Good fortune for you and your family in 2016. Kevin

Thank you Danny for sharing this side of your life

Good man..as soon as I saw him showing love to his dogs, that was all I needed to know, but to knw that he is drug free, he is an inspiration to others..I'm trying to get away from alcohol and have used it for years to medicate my bipolar brain...and it is the worst drug for my condition...Danny you have inspired me this morning as I am sitting in my back yard searching for answers and trying to get over the poison that I drank last night..thank you.

respect to that always helping someone else is a great feeling.

much love danny u one of the ones that's a big help to people in the city and u put the city on the map

You are an inspiration sir.

And you will surely find some of us as you trudge the road to happy destiny. May god bless you and keep you - until then.

indeed awesome Danny! Very encouraging. I wonder though how long should one dedicate their life to helping other people before a big break? I know someone who has working for the community for about 6years and prior to that they have been obedient and helpful to community members

Right on. 10 years sober, but it took me about 35 years to get there. Helping others = helping yourself = helping the world.

love Danny!so inspiring!

I saw 36 thumbs down...how could anyone give a thumbs down to this inspired video... this world needs more Danny Trejos....

Praise God love you guy .🙏🙏❤❤❤

2:38 that Pacoima mural 🔥

Danny you are a blessing to many people. I've seen you in many movies I always took notice. I was mesmerized by your intense eyes. they speave cast volumes over any scripted word. . my every day my every step I ask the Powers that be please allow me the honors of being an instrument to Your Peace and bring Glory to honor you not me. I've had an extremely rough life. I never. broke laws and the look on people's faces when I reach their hearts is mind blowing but the moment they praise me I stop them in their tracks and I tell them this ability I have to let others see comes not from me but from the THUTH THE Wisdom the Light all Glory belongs to Him as He puts the words in my hand and I know it is not mine to give but mine to share. 15 yrs ago there was a COUNTRY song where people dang I believe there are Angels among us sent down to us from somewhere up above they come to us in our darkest hours. I broke down crying when my sons little girlfriend and her mom dang that to me. all my life I was told how worthless I was and I knew that was true coming from my family all throughout my life and I heard something like that being sung to me. yes I told them not from me but from HIM. I KNEW BEFORE THEN You are the one that song is about. God bless you Sweetheart may He keep blessing you through all that you do. Angel hugs to surround you and your family always

Week and a half and I'll be 6 months!! Don't plan on giving up my sobriety for a while this time round! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Seriously, I can't believe he's 73. He don't look it at all. I mean, look others actors with the same 73 y.o. ? they look it. But not Danny. I'd give him 60 maximum. He looks good, even if his face is not perfect, its his journey on this life who made that face. I'm very proud of him. He's a message of hope for all the actual inmates

great work Danny. Im 4 weeks in to a sober life and can already see the benfits. Check it out if you are interested in seeing how it changes you mentally and physically. 90 Days of Sober Ways.

happy 46 Danny keep coming back...

I would have thought he would be a guy to have bbqs n beer every weekend at his place...wow how i was so wrong .. Congratulations on 46 years you are an inspiration to me.. I am 37 yrs old been drinking beer steady for about 21 years ..i feel like i want to quit but im afraid .. Most things i do revolve around an ice cold beer .. I may need help

Had no idea this guy actually was in prison and is a real boxer! Holy shit!

I love that guy.he is great. :)

You're a pretty good guy for being a "bad guy". Congrats on 4 decades plus!

you can watch his whole life story in his biography called champion

always liked this guys work, his face & tatts are just iconic, I would of liked to see him in some lead or second lead roles, though I guess the parts he has done has kept him working for a long time, I wish him all the best.. just love his look, he really wears it.

Saludos amigo danny

top man

That's rite danny

Great if I'm afraid to say perfect '-'
