Sober since June 2, 1988, Bobby recounts his chaotic rise and fall from a rowdy South Philly childhood to a reckless, blackout-drinking cop who spiraled after a line-of-duty shooting. His turning point came not in a blaze of glory, but in a moment of absolute collapse—a failed attempt to take his own life and a phone call sparked by a newspaper ad. From there, his life became a testament to the power of honesty, surrender, and service. Though he resisted AA’s message for years, Bobby eventually embraced sponsorship, worked the steps, and began helping others with the same intensity he once brought to destruction. Despite struggling with PTSD, violence, and arrogance in early sobriety, he learned to live the principles of the program—not just quote them. His life today reflects redemption through action: a man once filled with rage and fear now stays sober by helping others, facing his past, and showing up for his community with integrity. His story reminds us that recovery is possible—even for the most broken among us—and that staying sober is not just about not drinking, but about becoming someone worthy of the second chance.
