From one of the Paducah KY Oxford Homes ❤ thankful to have found this!!! I shared the link to my Sisters in the home……pray they listen, jump on board so we may all begin navigating our house to SIGNIFICANT in our recovery …because this house is close to attaining just that How true the needs are for the new roommate scared and sitting on day 5 of living here and what they need AND how I myself, God willing, can live here as a seasoned Sister and properly being there for the new roommate that moves in ⛈🌈🦋🎚🙏💪❤️
I'm in a very sick Oxford house, Oct 22nd 2023. There's a lot of barely hidden drug use. A couple of weeks ago my roommate ODed. Revived with narcan. I'm 5 years sober and clean and can't wait to get out of here.
I don't expect new members to be perfect, but I do expect minimum compliance with OHI rules after 6 weeks plus of residency in this Arizona Oxford House. Payment of EES, employment, curfew, and medication compliance. The pop-psych intro to this video sidesteps these facts and proves to me that individuals in early recovery need managerial structure in affordable neighborhoods, not erratic democracy in overpriced ones.
I ALSO GO TO CELEBRATE RECOVERY MEETINGS AND HAVE ATTENDED FAITH CHURCH IN SUNSET HILLS, MO WHERE THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF ALCOHOLICS AND ADDICTS AT CHURCH EVEN PASTOR DAVID CRANK AND HIS WIFE NICOLE CRANK......... WOMEN IN RECOVERY COME ONE COME ALL.XOXO 9/17/209
I’ll give my examples: are you doing 12 step? If yes how many? We need minimum of 3 a week preferably 5 if no well that is something required (refer to end of yes) do you have anger issues and if so how do you deal with then? Do you have any charges against children, sex charges or arson on your record? Don’t like to ask but we need safety in our houses if accepted when would you be able to get rent and move in costs? Other than that we play by ear
People remember "Oxford House saved my ass" Means YOUR HOUSE members NOT OXFORD INC. READ THE MANUAL and ask yourself, your house, your chapter; How, where and when does or has Ox Inc. helped YOUR HOUSE. How was your opened? Where did the money come from, The manual, rules (of which the manual clearly only states TWO and each house will develop their own, NOT some blanket policy to cover a chapter or state), where does your house Paperwork come from? Did Ox Inc. even send any of that? Did they give your house a start up loan?? Or tell you to go your State and did your State give it? Or did other HOUSE'S loan or even give to start a new house? Where did your house furniture come from? Did Ox Inc. help with that?? Ask yourself would all the houses just go under if WE did away with "Ox Inc" Board members and their "compensation for their time" in the amount of 8 MILLION in FEDERAL GRANTS to compensate themselves. Look at the "Pie Chart" stating 98% of the FEDERAL GRANT MONEY goes DIRECTLY to support individual house's??!!! HELLOOO! Wake up people!!! Why can't the actual HOUSE use the 501 non profit status to be excluded from taxes on house items?? Yet Ox Inc does? Follow the money people. 98% of the money Ox Inc gets goes to pay their "compensation" and travel expenses to the conventions. Yet deviously they claim to pay for the whole convention when we all know that is not the case...Just start questioning your house, chapter, and state boards about the money trail. Ox Inc gets all the rewards with no risk while you guys do all the footwork including putting your names on leases and bills. They say follow the paper trail to solve crimes.....The funds Ox Inc accumulates rarely leave Ox Inc. Most of it goes to pay their own "compensation" which only our list on the IRS forms. Why aren't the rest of the Boards? Has any house any where in the last decade got anything from Ox Inc? Seriously I would like a list of gifts, loans, donations any actual tangible "help" from Ox Inc. besides really good OX cool aide.
