I showed up at The Last House a spiritually broken man. My health was giving out, I was having uncontrollable bowel movements, and I was throwing up blood. I had checked myself into over 12 treatment centers and found myself back in the same place every time. I was a danger to my family, friends, and myself. I was completely alone. I was going to die an alcoholic unless a drastic measure was taken. The Last House did for me what I could for me what I could never do for myself. It helped me in a state of discomfort and presented me with a solution for a long enough time until I could start doing it for myself. The guys didn’t let me manipulate myself out of the experience or to run back home after treatment. Which I had done so many times before expecting a different outcome. The Last House facilitated me cleaning up the wreckage of my past – building relationships with God and a present state that I don’t feel the need to numb or abuse, and the discipline to maintain the spiritual journey that I am on. The Last House showed me how to be the man that God intended me to be. I am at peace with myself which I have never experienced before. The relationship I have amended with my family is beautiful and I am now able to show up for them as a son, brother, and uncle. My will is strong and sometimes I take it back but the guys are always there to check me and pick me up when I am falling short. The Last House gave me a second chance at life and I will forever be grateful for the experience I have had here. The community that The Last House sober living provides on the westside of LA makes it the best sober living that I could have ended up at.
