In all reality, these are things you really shouldn’t be doing to your halfway house roommates. These are the people you have to share a living space with and get along with for however long your commitment is to the halfway house. It is so much better when you don’t have drama and disagreements with your roommates. I know for me, I got along with the girls in my halfway house and it made the experience so much more enjoyable.

The people you live with can end up becoming some of your biggest supports; but also remember not all of them are going to stay sober so stick with the people who are doing the right thing. Hang around the people who are going to meetings, working their steps and trying to work a solid program of recovery. You also want to make friends with people who have long-term sobriety. As long as you are willing to do anything and want to be sober, you can! If you or a loved one are struggling with substance abuse or addiction, please call toll free 1-800-951-6135.
