Hi, my name is Jen and I am an alcoholic. After 15 years of sobriety, I had to reintroduce myself back in the rooms of AA on October 9 2023, being one of the most humbling experiences for an alcoholic like me, who's pride and ego can get in the way, sometimes being one of my biggest character defects that I'm still working on, being a daily reprieve for me.

My name is Chad G., a true alcoholic. My sobriety date is November 11, 2021 and thanks to the Ed Keating center, AA and an amazing support group, I have not had any desire to pick up a drink or drug since that day. I am 42 years old and came from a loving family of my Mom, Dad, older brother, older sister and my little brother. I don't have any crazy story about seeing adults drink and wanting to try it. I can say that looking back, the signs were there before I had a drink at all, in any form. My parents did an amazing job and always instilled morals and values.

My name is Molly and I’m an alcoholic. My sobriety date is August 17, 2013. I am the second-oldest of four children. My parents have been married for 43 years. Childhood for me was happy. I was provided with all of my needs and most of my wants. Being selfish and self centered was a part of me long before I ever took my first drink. 

Hi, my name is Kelly M. and I'm an alcoholic. My sobriety date is June 14, 2021. I have a sponsor, a co-sponsor, and a few support groups. I also incorporate the 12 steps in my life. I also have a home group. Most importantly I have a God, who I don't understand all the time, I just have to trust him.

My names Jana, I’m a grateful recovering alcoholic. My sobriety date is June 24th, 2022. I have a younger sister, my parents are still married, and my childhood was basically normal. I had everything I needed and basically everything I wanted. As long as I can remember, I’ve been resentful, selfish, entitled and angry for reasons I don’t understand besides I’m an alcoholic.

My name is J. Michael H., and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is April 22nd, 2010. I was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1967. Ever since I can remember, I wanted two things out of life: to make Rock and Roll music, and to feel as good as I possibly could. Long before I ever took a drink or a drug, I was a liar, a cheat and a thief. I always assumed that the world owed me everything that my selfish spirit felt entitled to, and when I didn't get it, I vacillated between being resentful and being a victim, both of which fed my sense of entitlement.

My name is Melissa, and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is February 12, 2022. I have 26 months of sobriety. I honestly never believed this could happen in my life.  It is a miracle. I’m a miracle. I thank God every day that I’m alive, and that I’ve been given so many chances.
