Robbie’s story is a raw, powerful walk from gifted Catholic-school athlete to a broken young alcoholic whose drinking dragged him through jails, prisons, mental institutions, and homelessness before he finally cried out to God in a Kalamazoo detox at age 22. What saves him isn’t luck but the unwavering love of Alcoholics Anonymous—beginning with a pig farmer named Don who took him into his home, taught him the steps, and showed him he was worth saving. Through rigorous honesty, daily action, and sponsorship, Robbie rebuilt his entire life: returning to his parents with amends, becoming a husband and father, building a stable career, and spending his life carrying the message to newcomers. His central truth is that God never let go of him—and AA didn’t either—and that our job is to pass that same hope to the next suffering alcoholic.
