Named Tasha Blank runs the Get Down at House of Yes, as well as other nightclubs in New York, where no drinks are allowed on the dance floor. “It just felt to me like there was a huge gray area, and a much wider acknowledgment now of the different categories of problem drinking,” Ms Warrington said. This is according to a new generation of kinda-sorta temporary temperance crusaders, whose attitudes toward the hooch is somewhere between Carrie Nation’s and Carrie Bradshaw’s. To them, sobriety is something less (and more) than a practice relevant only to clinically determined alcohol abusers. Now it can also just be something cool and healthful to try, like going vegan, or taking an Iyengar yoga class. These grants are competitive, and a limited number will be awarded each month.

I have made many amends for my past while living as an alcoholic. Amends allow me to also right the wrongs I may continue living amends to make. It is freedom from behaviors that do not live up to the new life in sobriety I am choosing to live.

Recovery Housing & Coaching Scholarships

Most residents find a job to pay out of pocket or set up a payment plan with the home. Some sober living homes are covered by private insurance, government funding or Medicaid. Some residents also pay for sober housing through scholarships, loans or credit cards. Unlike other sober living scholarships, your future is in your hands.

This allowed me to focus on my recovery and allowed me to flourish and find a job working in recovery as well, helping others the same way I was helped. Part of my living amends is also being the friend my friends deserve and the employee my employers hired in good faith. Living amends touches deep parts of our lives and souls if we allow them. It doesn’t matter how you choose to donate to Living Amends; your donation will go to support those less fortunate than yourself. If you have any questions about how we can use your donation to support those recovering from addiction, we welcome you to contact Living Amends today  online.

I have been to expensive and fancy treatment centers before, but upon discharge and return home to Austin, was never set up in the recovery community with the proper support and guidance. When I received my first month scholarship at a point where I had to decide between my job and having a place to live. I had just started at Tesla Gigafactory looking forward to the big checks and great benefits. I didn’t into consideration the fact that I have no transportation to get there, not on the bus line. I knew I had to either find a new place or quit a great job. I almost decided to just sleep at the factory and never leave.

It ranged from promising to fix something around the house to going to a family gathering. I am blessed with a family that gave me the support and space to seek sincere redemption – and they too endure this shaming and humiliation of their father, son, brother and uncle. After what I have gone through since my brother died in 2015, and the perpetual public humiliation of me, I am now certain I can survive anything (except a drink or a drug). Over four years ago, I chose life over the slow strangle-death grip of addiction, which in my case consisted each day of a bottle of vodka and as many hits on a crack pipe as possible. I am prouder of that choice and of my recovery than anything I’ve ever done. For Mr. Satterlee, working with a sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous was life-changing.
