Sober Sisters: Effective Addiction Recovery Support System

The owners of Junction House sober living facilities (Debbi and Kiki) in Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties have over 35 years between them of personal recovery experience. These women not only have experienced their own struggles in early recovery but are open to sharing their stories with residents to help motivate them to strive towards long-term sobriety. This in itself, allows residents to connect with senior staff and feel less alone. There are also on-site house managers with their own stories of recovery who are available to talk.

It is extremely important to build an effective addiction sober support system. Most addicts, when drinking or drugging, had a history of either isolating or only spending time with others who also drink and drugged. Many come into recovery feeling lonely and disconnected from others. Residing in a women’s sober living home allows you to instantly connect with others in similar positions. It is most likely that the women who reside in most sober living homes will be in their first few months of recovery. While it is important to connect with them, it is also easy to fall into their destructive ways should they choose to do so.
