Accountability and independence

Accountability and independence

I have a long history of alcoholism. I am not unfamiliar with residential programs at continued treatment care such as sober houses or halfway houses. My experience with the Mary DeVeau house was exceptional. I was held accountable for my whereabouts and actions, but also allowed and encouraged independence. I was surrounded by a true sense of camaraderie and support. At the same time, I was encouraged to get to know myself. The environment took the sting out of making mistakes and as a result, I could learn from those mistakes. I often felt comfortable enough to be vulnerable. I have experienced essential breakthroughs at the Mary DeVeau house as well as some of my hardest laughs to date. The special dynamics and care provided by DeVeau is directly molding me into the person I am becoming today – and the person I have always hoped to be.
