Welcome to Dr. Bob's Home. Many once- hopeless alcoholics, Dr. Bob among them, made their first shaky steps toward recovery in this place. Walking through these rooms, we may reflect on those days in the 1930's and 1940's when the Smiths and their visitors spoke of spiritual matters, and reflected in gratitude, on how dramatically their lives had changed because of them. It was in this house and surrounding neighborhood where the miracle of recovery began for many hundreds of men and women; individuals who went on to spread this welcome message of recovery around the world. Many visitors have spoken of a feeling of oneness with the spirit of AA as soon as they climbed the front steps and crossed the threshold. It is our hope and belief that you will too.
Gratitude Sunday - Every year, members gather at Dr. Bob's Home to celebrate the gift of sobriety at the place where A.A. was born. This year members with over 40 years of sobriety will share their stories of redemption and recovery. Please join in the spirit of fellowship and closeness as we rekindle our bonds with all those who have taken and will take the twelve steps. This years Gratitude Sunday will be held on November 8, 2009. The Old Timer's Panel will be held at First Grace United Church of Christ. The same church where the oldest meeting (King School) is held. The panel will be from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Please come and visit the House before and after the meeting. For further information, contact Dr. Bob's Home at 330-864-1935.
