I had my first taste of alcohol when I was 13 years old. At 15, I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that would slowly take my vision.

I love my home group and invite everyone to come visit. I’d like to think it’s the best group in all AA, yet it’s just a group like any other. I just happen to feel at home here.

Of all the tools AA has taught me to use when life gets difficult, prayer is one of the most important—especially praying for others.

I was born in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. In about the seventh grade, my drinking started with little glasses of beer.

I grew up as a farm boy in northern Indiana and joined the Navy at age 18. My plan was to stay in the military until I was married; then I would get out.
