Hello!! My name is Kristen Niewiera, and I am a recovering addict. I am the founder of A New Era Sober Living LLC.  I have dedicated my life to helping others thrive in their recovery. I was born in Massachusetts and lived in North Carolina for most of my adult life. I started my recovery journey in California after spending most of my life in jails and institutions. Struggling for many years with addiction, I knew there had to be a better way to live. After attending multiple detoxs and inpatient treatment centers, I always ended up relapsing and in a cycle of treatment and jail. Until the day I was introduced to a complete treatment plan, which includes a sober living environment after my detox and inpatient stay. Going from living inpatient at a treatment center and discharging back to a friend's house or mom and dad's wasn't working. Going to a sober living home after my detox and inpatient stay was a game-changer!! I was able to transition back into normal living in a sober, stable environment. Having the freedom to work and be able to have confidence in myself and my sobriety. Learn to live independently with help from my fellow sober living roommates and house managers. Doing this has helped me and so many others maintain sobriety and break free from the constant cycle of treatment and jail. 

 I believe sober living is a crucial part of the recovery process and absolutely one of the main ingredients to a sober success story !!!
