My name is Bobby, I'm an alcoholic.

My sobriety date is June 2nd, 1988.

My home group is the Meckin Street Miracle Group of Alcoholics Anonymous.

We made it saving Agnes Hospital. We're all in Meckin Street, South Philadelphia.

Friday Saturday and Sunday is 7 o'clock. If you're having a neighborhood please stop by.

We'd love to have you. We're well for Tuesday's afterwards.

I'd like to thank the committee for asking me to come down here.

I've always seen the flyers. I haven't been down here before but you had my friend Robbie from Jersey came down here last year.

Robbie is a very quiet guy for those who don't make them.

But he told me that you guys treat them like gold and you guys have been very kind to me this weekend.

Chapter 5 tells me what my directions are. I will tell you in a general way what my life was like as an alcoholic.

What happened to me and what my life was like today is a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous.

I was born and raised in a very blue collar ethnic neighborhood.

I had seven brothers and sisters. My mother was pregnant for almost nine years.

I got my sisters 11 months old in a meeting and I am 11 months old and then to my next sister.

There's eight kids in like an 9 and a half year, almost 10 years span.

We had no booze on that in the house.

My father did not drink. My mother couldn't not drink.
