We are a group of 12 step volunteers providing a safe, sober, learning and Spiritual environment for sober men to live, grow, and thrive while practicing the Principles found in the 12-step program and other forms of recovery.

You are special to us, our 12-step community, and your Creator. We want to do all we can to help you on your road to a healthier life, free from drugs and alcohol and based on living the principles taught in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and in many other Spiritual books.

The policies and procedures in this booklet are to help you in your recovery. They are intended to maintain a clean, comfortable and safe environment for you as well as the other residents, volunteers, and staff.
