Father Roger

Priest, Retreat Master, Author, Actor, Playwright and Sinner! Father Roger tells us his intriguing story of addiction and recovery. Roger says, "By the age of 3 years old I needed to go on the wagon. If they had Kiddie AA I would have qualified!" Roger's first real moment of clarity, after years of abusing alcohol, happens as he comes out of a blackout, standing on the ledge of the Brooklyn Bridge, ready to jump. After getting himself down off the cables, he ran looking for an AA meeting. From there all sorts of remarkable things have happened – most of which is being sober for 15 years and having the ability and the desire to help other people.
