Have a great day.

My name's Bob.

I'm an alcoholic.

I'm from Richmond, Indiana.

My day to sobriety is August 15, 1975, where I walked into a meeting and I've been invited

to go to that meeting before.

He's out Santa Monica, California.

And Dennis T. had tried to get me to go a couple times before, but this time I said yes.

I was walking in circles in my

apartment kind of mumbling to myself, and the refrigerator was singing to me. And I don't know if

had that happen to them or not. But somebody said, alcohol is the only liquid that sinks.

And I was hallucinating. I was drunk at my first meeting and have not had to have a drink of alcohol since because of God.

Not because of me, certainly.

I've tried to quit all my life since I was a teenager.

I tried to quit drinking forever.

I went to jail a lot of times.

I always went to just weekends generally, but I always have quit forever, but it didn't work.

And that ain't really worked for me, and I thank God for that.
