RECOVERY STORY OF THE MONTH

My name is Bobby D. My sobriety date is 3-17-24, and I am an alcoholic! For almost twenty years, I come in and out of treatment centers, the rooms of alcoholic anonymous, with no intentions on having a sponsor, working the steps, or changing one single thing about the way I lived. For around eighteen years, I tried everything my way. Staying so selfish, not allowing anyone to help me, figuring I could stay sober all on my own. All I did was prolong years of pain and suffering for my family and myself. It wasn’t until I gave up trying to run my own life, started working with a sponsor, actually applying the twelve steps into my daily living, and finally talking to people about what’s going on with me, things started to change.

… find somebody to talk to and talk!!!

WHAT I DO TODAY!!! I am most definitely not a perfect person, but I strive on a daily basis to be a better human being, a member of alcoholics anonymous, a friend, a brother, and a father. If I can say anything to the new person, it’s to find somebody to talk to and talk!!!
