Love Your Life Into Action!

General Info

What's Different About Into Action? It's simple. If you've heard horror stories about sober living, we want you to know that this is the real deal. We are not and never will be a "flop house". Members must not only be serious about their sobriety to live at Action House, they must prove it through their willingness weekly to: 1. Follow house rules. 2.Maintain their sobriety at all times. Tested a minimum of once per week. Alcohol tested throughout week. 3. Have sponsor within 1 week. 4. Contacting sponsor throughout week. 5. Make regular progress on step work. 6. Hold a job (Must obtain job within 2 weeks of moving in) Our Primary Purpose: To provide a comfortable and quality sober living environment in surroundings conducive to recovery, spiritual growth, and personal development through the action of the 12 Steps, which helps the member find a power greater than themselves which helps them to live successfully as sober men. The Program Every day an alcoholic/addict goes without having a paradigm shift in his thinking/consciousness, is another day risking drinking or using again. Therefore, we require that our members regularly attend 12 step meetings, but we also feel that attending meetings without working the program is not enough to have a healthy sobriety. Therefore, we also require our house members obtain (and use) a sponsor, work the steps, hold a job, and eventually move on to sponsoring people themselves as the real medicinal affect of the 12 steps is... One alcoholic helping another.. Verified Meeting Attendance Meetings are the building blocks of a healthy recovery program. 12 Step meetings help create a network of support, a pipeline for education in working their program of action and sobriety. It also provides a safe place they can turn to. We not only require meeting attendance and proof of attendance. Service Work Ultimately, the goal is to remain sober and grow in our recovery. To do this, we must grow in our ability to be of service. First we consider members holding other members accountable as the first step towards service work. Secondly, by seeking other alcoholics to work with, being available to neighbors in need, and by keeping the house in excellent shape for those who come after us. Employment Residents are required to work. However, in addition to full or part time jobs, this work may take the form of schooling, additional meetings, additional church activities/commitments, and volunteer work. Obtain and Use a Sponsor Our residents agree to obtain a sponsor within 10 days. The sponsor sign an Intent to Sponsor form in which the sponsor agrees to take them through the steps in 60 days and that Action House may check in with the sponsor to verify that the resident is calling daily, accomplishing homework, and following directions.  Phase and Points Based Living We have a phase and points system in which everything is based on the philosophy that individual action = reward. Phasing up is based on completing the 12 Steps, which leads to more entitled house privileges (and respect). Whereas the points system is based on providing anyone, mostly regardless of phase, a method to earn points for healthy actions and spend them on one time rewards (ranging from weekly fee discounts to curfew extensions.) Accountability This is the probably Into Action's biggest difference. We actually expect and verify regularly that our men are doing what they signed up for, which is progressing in their program of sobriety and daily life.
