DeeDee

Manager

I am a recovering alcoholic. The last few years of my husband's and my addiction, we were homeless. We knew we needed sober living, but wanted to stay together. We had been married for 13 years. Everywhere we looked, we were unable to stay together, and that kept us in a cycle of addiction. After our hospital stay, we heard about A New Era and called and spoke to Kristen, and that call changed everything for my family. We have 9 children with 3 being under 18, so this changed everyones lives. We were able to have a safe sober place to live , get jobs, and after a few months reunite with our children. I am now a House Manager in one of the A New Era homes. We now have a relationship with all our children and grandchildren, something we feel would have never happened if it weren't for getting sober and coming to A New Era. We love that we are a family again and get to help others stay sober as well! None of this would have been possible without Kristen and the A New Era family!!

House Manager

Living in a sober living isn't just about staying sober- It's about figuring out how to live, really live, without numbing your trauma. I was just trying to stay sober and figure out what came next. What I didn't know is that my time as a resident would teach me lessons about accountability, friendships, and boundaries that I carry with me now as a Resident Manager. Lessons that help me understand and bond with the residents entering our homes. These experiences not only shaped my recovery journey but also my personal goals and career. Taking me from someone who is searching for stability and meaning in life to building my practice as an intuitive spiritual coach, energy healer, and tarot reader, assisting others in the self-healing journey and in recovery. I'm proud and honored to be part of the management team at A New Era Sober Living. This experience has taught me about myself, about relationships and about building a life I never thought possible.
