Third Time's a Charm!

by Bobby Joe R.

I grew up in Aurora in the 60's in a poor family. I was the youngest of 5. I was in Special Ed because I had severe dyslexia. Back then they didn't really know what to do with us so I didn't get a lot of help. As a result, now I can read and write at a 4th grade level.

Look at me! I can't believe it! I'm sober, I'm working, I'm paying the rent on my own home and I'm a dad again.

Drunk for 40 Years
I just got a letter for my 50-year class reunion. Didn't recognize any of the names. It really made me feel old not even remembering any of these people. But we never really had that much in common. I just didn't seem to fit in with guys my own age and the girls. Primarily I think it was because I was drinking a lot and most of them didn't drink.

At the end of 2002 I moved out of step 13 and into my own apartment. I figure as long as I stay away from alcohol...stay focused... take it one day at a time, I'll be okay. You see, I'm tired of bad things happening to me. I know that if I decide to drink I'm deciding I want to have a bad life or no life and I know that I don't want to do that. I think about drinking but I don't have no desire.

Notes from Bob

God gives every bird its food but does not throw the food in its nest. God also gives each bird the material to make its nest but does build it for the bird; the bird has to do its part. Of course, if a bird is unable to fly, we should take care of him. But there are many who could fly but don’t or won’t. These need a nudge out of the nest, not just a cozy place in it. They might fall, but it’s the only way they’ll ever get to soar to new heights.

At step 13, we're proud to be 52% self-sufficient without taking federal, state, or city funding. Help us raise that number.
