Testimonials
I remember the day I was leaving Santa Maria to come to House of Extra Measures and I was scared. I had just gotten used to the craziness of Santa Maria. When I got to the house and met all the ladies, the whole being scared thing just lifted. I have never been around such genuine and supporting women. Nobody was pretending or faking being welcoming and supportive. It was truly a great feeling and a relief to be around a group of amazing women that truly want to see you win. Being at HEM I've learned love, the kind of love only sisters have with each other. I learned to hold myself accountable for every little thing I do. I learned everyday chores are a must and cant be something to put off. I learned how to keep my household clean. Having all this structure in my life has taught me so much about how if I'm going to do something, I should do it to the best of my ability. I've also found my self worth at HEM. I know I'm going to be the best mom ever to my boys because of what i learned at HEM. I love House of Extra Measures and I'm going to miss being here. I'm going to miss all the women who taught me that sisterhood is real. I love all of them so much and I'm thankful to each and every one of the ladies. I've learned that life is truly amazing and that I've got this and that I'm going to be okay.

In early 2021 I was struggling through 1 year of COVID measures, working and being isolated at home. I was drunk and high pretty much every minute of every day for months on in. I was living with an abusive boyfriend; I had wrecked most relationships with my family and I was absolutely miserable. I checked into rehab 3/29/21 and upon discharge in April I moved to House of Extra Measures. Since moving into the house, I resumed my old job and obviously my performance has improved and been rewarded. I was able to have my daughter over every week for at least and night and our relationship is better than ever. I have reconnected with my sister after nearly 4 years of no contact. I was able to be involved and present when my grandma passed away in January. I was hired as the RA in our house in December 2021.
Living at this house has taught me how to be responsible and accountable for my words and actions. Encouraged me to complete the AA 12 steps, put my recovery first and the rest of the good things eventually fall into place. I have learned how to navigate health relationships, establish boundaries, expand my community and be a part of group.
Deanna Wexler, the house manager has made the biggest impact on my success in sobriety. She has shown me fist hand how to live a fun, happy life as a strong woman in recovery. She is always there to bounce ideas off and guide me to good choices. I wouldn’t have been as successful without her in my day-to-day life. I have been sober since March 30,2021. I am working on paying off debts, saving money to live on my own with my daughter and trying find a more fulfilling and higher paying job.
