5 Ways Sober Living is Made Easier in a Recovery House


While staying sober from a destructive addiction isn't easy, by choosing to live in a recovery house a person is greatly enhancing their long-term sobriety chances.

Recovering from an addiction is such a tender time, and having the support and resources to combat relapse is vital for success. With this in mind, let's explore 5 ways sober living is made easier in a recovery house.

  • Understanding environment
  • Safe environment free of drugs and alcohol
  • Comfortable living arrangement covering needs
  • Provides accountability for sobriety
  • Builds Foundation for long-term sober living habits

Understanding Environment


Living with other people that are going through similar challenges goes a long way in helping addicts stay sober. Being surrounded by an environment with understanding people at home provides recovering addicts the daily, meaningful interactions needed to remember the seriousness of their sobriety.

So often the environment will condition a person into forgetting how important their sobriety is, making it hard for them to remember the struggles they've gone through and overcome. Yet, when in a recovery house, they see other people in similar situations living a sober life, which helps them see it's possible to live a good life sober.

Safe Environment Free of Drugs and Alcohol


This is one of the best attributes a recovery house offers to recovering addicts. The peace of mind gained by knowing drugs and alcohol aren't used or allowed in the house where they live helps them focus on other aspects of life that need attention, such as jobs, family, friends, faith, sobriety program, etc.

After treatment or detox, a person needs to be in a safe, drug-free living situation to recover and establish long-term sobriety in their lives. And finding a place to live where drugs and alcohol aren't being used isn't easy, and living alone and secluded isn't always healthy or helpful either. The solution is found in a quality recovery house, free of drugs and alcohol.

Comfortable Living Environment Covering Needs


Not all halfway houses are the same; it's important to find a comfortable modern living environment that covers the needs of an independent recovering addict. The ideal recovery house should also be affordable, allowing residents to remain independent in their lives.

Residents need a structured environment with certain rules, while still upholding the responsibilities of living an independent life. By having to fulfill the duties of living independently with food, work, and transportation, recovering addicts will garner the sober living habits they need for long-term success.

Sober living houses can be comfortable, modern places to reside. They can offer all the amenities a person needs to conduct their day-to-day lives. And beyond the essentials, ideal recovery houses offer:
  • high-speed internet
  • computers
  • large televisions with premium subscription cable service
  • modern kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities
  • comfortable recreation areas

Provides Accountability for Sobriety


Residences in sober houses are generally subject to random breathalyzers and drug screens, and if a person relapses they're immediately asked to leave the premises. These important actions are needed to ensure a safe, drug-free environment for everyone living in a recovery house.

Premier recovery houses also have programs to integrate clients back into society. This provides them with the support and accountability needed to transition into a new sober way of life. Sober houses usually have meetings every week too, which helps residents grow unity, accountability, and understanding within a recovery house.

On top of the rules and structure built into recovery houses, there's the underlining accountability of living with other recovering addicts. By living closely around sober housemates, a person will naturally become accountable to them in their everyday lives. What one person does is going to affect others, and so having this understanding naturally creates accountability for sober living.

Builds Foundation for Long-Term Sober Living Habits


In this very tender and important time of recovery, a person needs a structured, safe, and supportive environment where they can rebuild their lives and establish long-term sober living habits.

Although free from substance abuse, destructive habits are hard to break. The everyday difficulties in life, which trigger the process of an addictive choice, have to be combated with support and effective resources. A recovery house isn't going to do all the work needed for clients to stay sober, yet it does offer all the needed tools and resources to greatly help in this important task.

While staying in a recovery house, healthy habits will become established in a person's life, eventually creating long-term success with sober living. Dealing with difficulties at work, with friends, family, and other life issues will begin to be resolved more constructively with healthier habits of behavior.

People who suffer from addictions are often successful 90% of the time with maintaining healthy habits, yet the other 10% is when destructive behaviors usually occur. A recovery house understands this and offers the support and positive environment needed to create healthy habits 100% of the time. Recovery houses are designed to build a foundation for long-term sober living habits for clients.

Conclusion


Hopefully, this helps shed light on why choosing to live in a recovery house is such an important step in one's recovery. This is a tender time for an addict, and no matter how strong a person may think they are, we all need help at times.

The Most Discriminated People Are Not Who You Think

The physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor are the most discriminated people. In America, social engineers have brainwashed us to believe minorities and women are the most discriminated people in our country and the world, yet is this really true? Using common sense, we can see this isn’t true in modern America, and even in the past. We can see clearly the most discriminated people in our country and the world are those who are physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor. Physical Unattractiveness Physical unattractiveness is probably the top discrimination factor in the world. A person born like this will find they are not chosen for many things because of this unfortunate factor. They might be outgoing and friendly, which will help mitigate this problem, but they will invariably experience a completely different reality than a physically attractive person. We’re talking about not being chosen for jobs and friendships, and how they are treated in daily life by peo...

The Final Deception is Conservative and Religious

Politics are going according to the NWO's deceptive plan. Politics, History, and the NWO I’ve been taking a break from talking about politics lately, yet that doesn’t mean I feel any different about it. Being someone who doesn’t support Trump or the Dems makes it hard to get any traction with an audience. The truth is more nuanced than most people can handle. It is easier to simply pick a side and believe it without much critical thinking. Trump is speaking the common sense views of the majority of Americans who still have half a brain left after the many decades of brainwashing we’ve been subjected to. The big data algorithms have been gathering the views of every American, compiling them into meticulously organized data reports, so they know exactly what most people want to hear. The left are those who have accepted the brainwashed agenda without any critical thinking. They are the useful idiots the NWO has used brilliantly to create  most  of the problems that t...

The next war will start before the Boomer Gen passes away

The NWO will leverage the Zionist brainwashing the Boomers have undergone. It makes sense that the hidden hand or the shadow government would start the next war before the Boomer Gen passes away, as they are the ones who support Israel the most. In general, the younger generations don’t care about Christianity or Israel. Their programming is to care about themselves and technology. If this is true, the next war will start within an estimated 5-10 years. The youngest Boomers were born in 1964, so are 61 years old. The oldest were born in 1946, so are 79 years old. To note: That means the youngest of the Greatest Gen are 80 years old. 2025 is also the first of the Beta Gen. So, there is a limited window of time for the NWO to leverage the Zionist propaganda they worked so hard to install into these older generations. Although these older gens are too old to do the fighting, they will spearhead the political and social support needed to send off the younger gens to die. The NWO also caref...

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...
