Testimonials
When I first came to The Houses of Extra Measures, I just had a little over a month clean and learning all about recovery for the first time. I had an open CPS case, no place to stay, no job or car, basically nothing to my name. I had lost everything and had been beaten down by my addiction. While in the house, I got full custody of my daughter back, a car, a job-within the house as a manager and then switched over to doing Business Development, which left the time for me to finish my Bachelor of Social Work degree. I am currently looking for full term employment as a social worker, hoping to go into mental health and addiction. I have grown a strong relationship with my family as well. They trust and depend on me for things once again, which is an amazing feeling. This house has taught me to look within myself, work a strong program, call my sponsor, go to meetings, as well as no matter what to keep on going, even on the bad days. Keep doing the next right best thing no matter what, and things will get better. Ralph is truly and amazing guy, he is always there to help whenever necessary if you need it, super ambitious and very hard working. I look up to that, seeing how much work he puts into his recovery and the houses is truly inspiring. It honestly makes me want to possibly have a sober living one day, where I can have it run similarly to the way he does The Houses of Extra Measures. This is my first time in recovery and as of today 8/1/22 I have 16 months sober. My future goals, like I stated above is going into the mental health and addiction field to help others. Once I land a full-time job, I plan to move into my own place with my daughter and I. I also plan to go back to school to pursue my master’s degree in social work as well, to become a LMSW and be a therapist in the same field. The House of Extra Measures helped me find my path again and lead me to where I am today. Without them and God, I wouldn’t be in the position of being able to help others and have found my purpose in life. So beyond grateful!

I was blessed and privileged to be a resident at The House of Extra Measures for 7 months. In that relatively short period of time I changed for the better so much that I hardly recognize myself and I could not be happier. Because I lived in a high structured, high accountability house I was able to not only stay clean for the longest time I’ve ever had but I was also able to recover from my seemingly hopeless state of mind. The house taught me how to take responsibility for myself, how to communicate in a healthy and constructive manner, to have integrity, the importance of lifting up the people around you, how to be a good friend and woman, but most importantly it taught me self-love and that I have inherent worth. I will always be forever grateful for the life that The House of Extra Measures has allotted me and will never forget where I received that life from.
