At LTL Sober Housing, we believe that every day is an opportunity for growth and recovery. Today, we are especially proud to share a beautiful milestone in one of our resident’s journeys. Today was a good day.

There’s no greater joy than witnessing one of our residents successfully graduate from our program, and today, we had the honor of celebrating this special achievement: over a year of sobriety!

For those in recovery, reaching the one-year mark is no small feat. It is a testament to resilience, determination, and the unwavering commitment to a healthier, sober life. It’s a year of breaking free from old patterns, facing personal challenges head-on, and building a brighter future, day by day. For this resident, that year wasn’t just about maintaining sobriety—it was about transformation. It was about reclaiming their life, rediscovering their strengths, and embracing a future full of possibility.

The Power of Community and Support

Graduating from LTL Sober Housing isn’t just about individual accomplishment; it’s a reflection of the power of community. Our program is built on a foundation of support, understanding, and accountability, and it's amazing to see how far our residents come when they have the right environment around them.

Throughout their time with us, this resident has had the support of a dedicated team, fellow residents, and countless others who walked alongside them during their recovery journey. It’s not just about sobriety—it’s about rebuilding relationships, discovering new passions, and learning how to thrive outside of the cycle of addiction.

What Happens After Graduation?

When our residents graduate, it’s not the end of their journey, but the beginning of a new chapter. At LTL Sober Housing, we don’t simply celebrate the milestone and send them off; we prepare them for life beyond our doors, this includes our new Milestone 3 step down home (Recover) is where the rubber meetings the road. To this point LTL staff has provided the schedule and structure and now it’s the residents turn to prove independence in the next step of their recovery. Graduation means they’ve acquired the tools and mindset needed to succeed in the world outside sober housing.

Many of our graduates continue to stay connected with the LTL community, attending alumni events, participating in support groups, and sharing their experiences with new residents. Their journeys are a living testament to the power of recovery and the life-changing opportunities that come with a fresh start.

A Note of Gratitude

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of this resident. It takes immense courage to make the decision to get sober, and even more strength to follow through. Your journey is an inspiration to all of us, and we have no doubt that your future is filled with endless possibilities.

To our entire LTL community—staff, residents, alumni, and supporters—thank you for your unwavering dedication and commitment. Together, we are making a difference, one step at a time.

Here’s to many more graduates and the continued success of all our residents. Let’s keep growing, thriving, and celebrating the beauty of recovery!

Navigating Sobriety During the Holidays: Tips to Stay Strong and Sober

n is a time of joy, family, and celebration, but for those in recovery, it can also bring unique challenges. From alcohol-filled parties to the stress of family gatherings, the holidays often come with an extra dose of temptation.

Here are some common struggles people face during the holidays and strategies to help you navigate them with confidence:

1. The Temptation of Social Events

Holiday parties often include alcohol or other substances, and the pressure to “join in” can feel overwhelming.

How to handle it:

2. Stress from Family Gatherings

Family dynamics can be tricky, and old tensions may resurface during the holidays.

How to handle it:

3. Nostalgia and Emotional Triggers

Holidays can stir up memories of past celebrations when substances played a role, or they may bring feelings of loneliness or loss.

How to handle it:

4. The Pressure to Be Perfect

There’s often an unspoken expectation to make the holidays “perfect,” which can add unnecessary stress.

How to handle it:

Finding Joy in Sober Holidays

Staying sober during the holidays doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. In fact, sobriety allows you to be fully present and create genuine connections with others. Surround yourself with people who support your recovery and look for activities that bring you peace and happiness.

Building a Sense of Community in Recovery: Why It Matters

people a feeling of belonging, a connection where members matter to each other, and a commitment that everyone’s needs will be met through their shared presence and support.

Our common area, pictured here, is the heart of this community. It’s where we gather for group sessions, celebrate resident milestones like graduations, and simply commune together. This space holds more than just conversations and activities—it's where much of the important personal and emotional work happens. Here, residents find comfort in knowing they’re not alone on their journey, and that their struggles, victories, and efforts are all shared among a group of supportive peers.

We believe that fostering this sense of community is vital for long-term recovery. It gives our residents a space where they can rely on one another, grow together, and commit to their own healing, as well as the collective progress of the group.

Community, as one of our four guiding values, is at the core of our program, and we hope that it continues to positively shape each resident’s experience both here and beyond.

When a loved one is in recovery or struggling with addiction, it can feel like all your energy is going toward supporting them—leaving little time for your own well-being. While it's natural to want to be there for them, it's equally important to build your own support network.

Regularly attending a family support group can be a lifeline during difficult times. It’s not just about getting advice or learning how to cope; it’s about developing meaningful connections with others who understand what you’re going through. These relationships offer encouragement, friendship, and an outlet for your emotions when things feel overwhelming.

Here at Learn to Live Recovery, we’ve seen firsthand the power of community. Our Family Support Group members meet weekly, and over time, they’ve formed a strong bond, offering each other hope and understanding. They come together, not just to talk about their loved ones’ addiction or recovery, but to share their own experiences and provide encouragement to one another.

If you’re struggling with a loved one’s addiction or just want to connect with others who truly get it, we invite you to join our Family Support Group. We meet every Wednesday night at 6 pm, and all are welcome. Together, we can build a network of strength and support that helps everyone heal.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Environmental conditions play a major role in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction as well as in relapse prevention. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, stress cues linked to the drug experience, such as moods, people, places, things, and exposure to drugs are some of the most common relapse triggers for drugs and alcohol. Extended care allows someone to be away from their old environment longer and give them time to prepare in all aspects of life before they return home (if they choose to). LTL provides a daily structure, in house relapse prevention programming, mindfulness activities such as yoga, meditation, and daily reflection, occupational mentorship, outdoor adventure programming, and personalized life and recovery coaching. All of which are designed to rebuild the resident's lives and gives them new avenues to foster self-improvement in a premium sober living environment!
