Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - June

Dr. Bob

After delivering a lecture in Akron, Ohio, I visited Mt. Vernon, the home of Dr. Bob, founder of AA. I did have an emotional experience walking into Dr. Bob's home. Some cry. Dr. Bob's home is a simple place, with only a few of his belongings remaining. Perhaps the only impressive things here are clever hiding places where Dr. Bob concealed his bottles. This house where it all began is a home, a haven for all who were lost, tossed about in the deadly, stormy sea of addiction. Versailles is certainly more impressive, but you do not get a lump in your throat, as when you enter this very simple home.
