When you have a strong group of guys who strive for a common goal, sobriety, it is very beneficial. Our sober living takes guys out to eat randomly to bond, or even white water rafting. Every year we do something around Christmas to give back to the community. Last year we handed out over $1,000 dollars in gift cards to the homeless. It's all about building relationships and connecting with each other. Our sober living is different from other programs because we get to know our clients, and they are not just a "number". Chris and Staff are very hands on and get to see and talk to clients on an everyday basis. It literally becomes a second family who operates like any other family, but sober
This summer, we took all our clients white water rafting. It was a great experience, It teaches our guys how to have fun while being sober. Sober living allows you to connect with guys who have the common goal of staying sober. While in addiction, you miss out on a lot of life. Each year, we try to do some sort of activity that brings everyone together. A huge part of this is about fellowship and brotherhood. When I was in sober living, some of the best memories I have are when we did group outings. It taught me how to have fun sober and find new hobbies. Stepping Stones of Atlanta Recovery Residence allows clients to experience new things!
