Owl 048 Roberta
from Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast · host The Boiled Owl
Roberta got sober in Brooklyn, NYC. Being fired led her to the rooms of AA, an organization she'd never heard of. Her neighbor had just started and told her about it. She'd tried to quit on her own and was miserable. Alcohol was the glue that held her life together. She was a drinker from 18 to 38, with a career that allowed her to drink at lunch. Roberta was in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. She was 15 years sober then and wanted to get drunk - to not feel. The AA community supported her and she stayed sober. Roberta's home group is the Greene Street Group in Greensboro, NC. Her sobriety date is 17AUG1986.
