“I will never go to sober living”
Written By: Haven House Sober Living Date: June 22nd, 2009. Topic: Member Blogs.
haven house was suggested to me by my therapist in the rehab that i went too. I was one who said ” i will never go to a sober living”. But, my therapist talked me into at least going to check a few out. Haven house was one of them and i was met at the door by a manager named Greg. He showed my friend and I around the house and explained things like rules, and how day to day life is in this sober living. To be honest, the reason i chose haven house over the others was because of its location, how nicely kept the houses were, and by how much the house had to offer in terms of TVs, pool tables, Jacuzzis etc. When I moved in i got to utilize all of these things and i enjoyed myself right away. The plan was to come to this nice house with all the amenities for just one month to start me of in the right directions and maybe make some sober friends who i could relate to and hang out with. All these things were achieved, but now Ive been here two months and don’t plan on leaving yet. My motives for coming here was the amenities, but my reason for staying here were far different. The owner Jeremy has tons of experience in this field, has a amazing work ethic, and having him around all the time is sort of like having a cross between a therapist and a sponsor at my disposal all the time. And the way he is rubs off on most of the managers here too. The reason i really stayed is because of the camaraderie that i found between the people who live here, and the way im encouraged and supported by the staff and by Jeremy. I stayed because Jeremy cares about what happens to me, and he shows me everyday how to live clean, and be as he always says ” happy, joyus and free”.
