What's up, AG? My name is Roberto and I'm an alcoholic.
And my anniversary date is January 1st, 2025.
I have a sponsor on the ninth step.
And yeah, I'm excited to be here.
Scared, nervous, but excited.
And a lot of familiar faces here.
And I love you guys.
I love all of you guys.
One thing I learned here is I can love people and I can let them love me back.
But quickly with my story, it's just another, you know, run of the mill garden variety story.
You know, like I... discovered alcohol when I was 13.
And it changed everything for me.
It made me fit in.
All my inhibitions were gone.
My first drunk, I jumped in a pool, put soap in a jacuzzi.
The soaps were like five feet high.
And I felt like I was an astronaut under the water.
It was amazing.
And I chased that feeling for years.
And then I chased it in other things as well.
And The thing is that, like, I just had this emptiness inside of me, you know? And it was, no matter what I did, it just kept coming back, you know? And so as a kid, you know, I was just, I was just scared of everything, you know? I just, I was just scared of not being liked.
And I had, like, a weird bowl cut.
I looked like a dork.
And I had, like, my yearbook picture.
