About Michelle:
Mine was a long and painful journey that took me 18 years of hurting my husband, children, family, friends, and myself. The first time I went to treatment was in 2013. However, upon leaving treatment, I was strongly encouraged to find residence in a sober living community. Because I had children, I refused. I thought that there was no way I could stay away from my children for another month let alone three or six. I stayed sober for three (3) months.
The second time I left treatment was in May, 2016 and when my 28 days of treatment were completed, I was willing to do whatever it took. I asked for recommendations on sober living homes. The outpatient coordinator helped me to find a sober home.
The sober home that I attended provided me with a safe and supportive environment, with like minded people, who were on the same path. I was also able to visit my husband and children. I would then return to the comfort and safety of the sober home. My sober home peers were invaluable to me, because they understood what my other friends could not. The sober living home and my peers gave me the support, the understanding, and the safe haven I needed to successfully create a better life.
My experience in Sober Living was integral to my successful and continued recovery.Aware that there were no sober living options in Eau Claire, I knew that I needed to create a sober living community for others seeking recovery. In July of 2020 Eau Claire Sober Living was born, which will start with a women’s home—The Rose House. A men’s home—The Art House—is scheduled to open in June of 2021.
