Hi Krahea,
My nephew spent a year in treatment and then moved into a sober house. He stayed much longer than the usual because he didn't trust himself. He ended up getting his old job back and he and his SO have bought a house together. She also quit drinking and using drugs at the same time he did. She works too and now they have been sober several years. His dad is my brother and he is not any example for his son now since he has started drinking and drugging again at age 65 now and still messing up. I have been sober 19 years and as you can see our family has a very strong predisposition for alcohol abuse.
You have had some good advice and the condition of an older house isn't the charm of the house that has survived many generations of famillys and now a sober home.
The treatment center I went to was in an older home and it had all kinds of nooks & crannies to explore. It had character for sure.
Hope all has gone well by the time you read this.
