SOBER LIVING HOUSING – THE
FACTS
• Have You Depended On Drugs Or Alcohol?
• Many people who turn to drugs or alcohol can break the habit easily, but there are
still others out there who become very addicted. When you become heavily
dependent on something, you suddenly start turning on the world and the help
needed. If you're not careful friendships and relationships become tricky, and you
start shutting people out as a coping mechanism. If you are a parent, you could
potentially begin to have an awful time in your own home, and the only thing that
comforts you is the bad habit. The cycle continues until the outside world comes
along to help.

rules and agreements before they can be released back into the community.
• Is It Too Late To Enter A Sober Living House?
