Bobby’s Story

I was addicted to crack, living on the streets. I got arrested for extortion, assault and battery, all the stupid things you do living on the streets.

I've been in jail for the last 20 years. I’ve been in the hole. But I’m tired of that way of life.

I got out of jail in July, 2025. I got sober on my own. I made the decision to live in a sober house. I come here to Recovery Cafe every day. I just got engaged.

I have goals. A lot of goals. First and most important is to stay sober. Stay clean. Live a normal life. Second goal is to stay out of prison. And then just keeping this new relationship. I’m hoping that everything just keeps going like it should.
