Full Title: Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett credits CEO Roger Ailes with saving his life after his alcohol-fueled airport arrest last year
Jarrett's addiction emerged last year after he slurred during a live broadcast in April then took time off 'for personal reasons'
But weeks later, just hours after leaving rehab, he was arrested for drunkenly scrapping with a police officer in a Minnesota airport
But Fox CEO and President Roger Ailes promised him his old job and continued to pay him, while setting up another rehab stint for him
He continues to check in with Ailes and his family
'I don't think I'd be here today if not for Roger,' Jarrett said in an interview
Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett has credited CEO Roger Ailes with saving his life as he struggled with alcoholism last year.
Jarrett first revealed his addiction after slurring during a broadcast in April 2014 and a few weeks later, just hours after leaving rehab, he was arrested for drunkenly swearing at an airport police officer in Minnesota - in an embarrassing debacle caught on camera.
But in an astonishing turnaround, the 59-year-old is now back in the Fox News anchor seat and healthier than ever - and he believes he has his boss to thank.

Wishing him a sober and healthy life, and good for Roger Ailes. Bless them both.
That’s cool. Hope he can continue to stay sober.
Good for him!
A good friend indeed.
Ditto. Tough love and God bless them both.
Bump!
I’m glad he got help but when he comes on TV now I change the channel. His voice gets on my LAST nerve.
I haven’t been watching TV lately . . . but it seems as though Roger Ailes added character to the network. I use to send Hannity e-mails and copy in Roger; however, my e-mails were rejected by Hannity. . . .too much religion probably for the person screening Hannity’s e-mails. I do hope the best for the anchor and that he is experiencing a personal relationship with the Savior.
Being a drunk can turn smart and gifted people into bumbling dummies.
A very sad thing. I hope Jarret can stay sober.
I always liked GJ. I was glad to see him back a couple of weeks ago, and wish him the best.
Sober for 33-1/2 years and he just has to recognize it is one day at a time. I don’t miss it one bit and my life has been much better.
It sure is “One Day At A Time” and I wish Greg Jarrett peace, serenity, sanity and sobriety in his life....
I wish him Godspeed in his daily journey. Everyone can do it, they just need to decide to say no, and honestly put in the work.
