Is this a sober living ?

2022-01-30 14:14:31

Hello, I am 5 months sober and very much involved in a sober program. I am looking to move forward from my halfway house and once I leave here, be able to get back to work. While still working on on my sobriety, and myself, my goal is to complete my bachelors program I am enrolled in. Followed up with finished up real estate school and pass the test to become a broker eventually. But my short term goals are to remain vigilant in my sobriety while taking the steps I need to provide a stable future for my children! Ensuring stable housing is number one in that and I would love to be considered an applicant if there are any spots available. Thank you!
