At Manor House, Recovery is found in three phases and begins the moment you decide you can't live like this anymore. As you struggle to save your life, you will be required to put aside all else. You will have to concentrate every single ounce of energy you possess on getting well. To do this, you will have to direct your physical and mental energy on the path to recovery almost to the exclusion of the things that are most dear to you, the alcohol, your drinking buddies, your friends, and yes, even love ones and your job for a short time until you are able to walk the path that needs to be taken for your sobriety. You will have to learn about the disease, the support groups that can lead you out of the darkness (such as Alcoholics Anonymous) and how they can help you. Not only will you have to learn about your sobriety, but you must learn how to function sober, how to cope with your problems and how to survive without chemical dependency.

At the Manor House, it is a time for learning, a time for healing, a time to celebrate life. There is no shame in going back to school, to better yourself and your life with continuing education and a search for knowledge. Manor House will teach you who you really are; what you really want to become and the power you have to achieve even the highest of dreams and aspirations. You will learn about controlling the beast, about living sober, how to maintain it and how to live comfortably with it.

It is a time of discovery, a time of great progress and a time to reach out and touch your own destiny. You will experience a wide range of physical, emotional, intellectual awakening in your classes at Manor House. We will introduce you to a way of life called Sobriety. We will teach you about the dangers of relapse, the situations and conditions you should avoid that triggers the craving to start the whole mess over again. We know you will have fears, we know you will have doubts, but we also know that you will have someone to turn to, someone to trust and someone to guide you along the way. Each and every step of the way, you will find that you are not alone. To many, this will seem the most difficult phase of the Recovery process, the highest mountain to climb and the greatest valley of fear and uncertainty. But you will find at Manor House, it is the greatest time of your life to see the person you can become if you only follow our lead. It will be the greatest and most dramatic phase of change of any of the phases.

At Manor House we will introduce you to basic living skills like responsibility, empathy for others, assertiveness and communication skills. We will provide you a place to interact and socialize without the crutch of an addictive and harmful substance. We will teach you to live again without alcohol.
Manor House will provide you a starting point to be honest with yourself and to be totally honest with others. A place to learn from other people's mistakes and to let others learn from yours. A chance to help others and feel useful, needed and appreciated for the genuine person you really are. A place that will supply you with a mirror so you can look out at others and see yourself as they see you and find out that you are not so bad after all. The Manor will provide you with a place to acquire education, knowledge and information about recovery, about living and about going on. Manor House will feel like a "safe house", a beacon in the night when you are lost and a security blanket that you know you can turn too when you need help and encouragement. A place where you will find sobriety is contagious and the people who have gone before you have found a way out of the darkness and into the light. Manor House is a place for dreamers, a place for great accomplishments and a place of Hope.

Want to hear about what others have said about us?

The first week, I just stood in the back of the room, scared, unsure and afraid they wouldn't like me. Then one day, this guy named Bill came up and said "I'm here to show you the way. I'm going to be your sponsor". Five years later, he still is.


Here's another story and it's true;

When I first got there, I told myself that no matter what they told me for thirty days, "I'm going to do it." That doesn't mean I have to do it gracefully, because I don't. I don't have to like it, because I won't. But I'm going to do it. If they tell me to take off the drug shirts and put on a plain one, I'm going to do it. If they tell me to stop listening to the music I really enjoyed getting high on, I'm going to do that also., I don't know why, it doesn't matter. For I am going to give this a decent shot, it may be the last chance I have at sobriety. I'll try what they tell me for a year. And if I don't like it, well, they're not going to stop making beer, their not going to quit making Rum and they sure as Hell are not going to stop making Wine. I have nothing to loose except maybe my life. I'm going to give living a chance, being drunk all the time didn't work.


I'm saving a place for your story here at Manor House. What will you write about next year?
