7 Insights for the New Member

  1. My House is a missing link in the recovery process. It provides the time and support each of us needs to develop comfortable sobriety.
  2. It works only if My House system of democratic operations is followed and the system of financial self-support is strictly followed.
  3. House meetings take place every Saturday. Attend every weekly meeting. The reason for weekly house meetings is to help the house run smoothly. The weekly meeting is the place to resolve disputes among the "family and a place to work together to keep recovery at the heart of all house operations.
  4. Pay your weekly share of the expenses on time. Put first things first. Old behavior put our rent last, new behavior puts it first; otherwise each of us feels lousy and the house can fail.
  5.  Do household chores on time. You may be the coordinator someday and others will do onto you what you did to them.
  6. Don't isolate. Loneliness and self-pity lead many of us back to drinking and using drugs.
  7. Go to a lot of 12 step meetings. AA and NA attendance is a good habit to develop to make behavior change comfortable and gain comfortable sobriety - forever.
