The Basics
Founded in 2009 in San Diego, California, Victory Sober Living provides faith-based sober living for men in recovery from chemical dependency. Their main emphasis for recovery focuses around Dan Sherman’s Big Book Awakening Book, which is used in conjunction with the Big Book, and helps recovering alcoholics and addicts gain a more intense connection to the 12 steps, as well as learn tools to become feasible sponsors.
Accommodations and Amenities
Victory Sober Living accommodates eight men, who are paired in fully furnished rooms, which include full-sized beds, nightstands, dressers and assigned closet space. Some singles are available. Clients are responsible for their own groceries, and meals are prepared in a fully equipped kitchen. The house has two refrigerators for extra food storage. Amenities include Wi-Fi, pool table, Xbox, treadmill, air conditioning, satellite TV and a laundry room.
The house includes a patio with a sitting area. A residential manager lives on the premises. Transportation is provided to 12-step meetings, and other rides are scheduled on a case-by-case basis.
Rules and Regulations
While it is preferred that clients have a minimum of 30 days and have undergone residential treatment, others are admitted on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, all potential clients must have completed detox and have a strong willingness to work on their recovery, along with staying clean and sober.
Requirements include performance of weekly household chores, which are assigned on Wednesdays and Sundays. Additionally, residents must clean the kitchen once per week. Other rules include getting a sponsor, working the steps, attending a bi-weekly 10 am Sunday meeting, as well as attending three outside 12-step meetings, and one in-house meeting, either at 7:30 pm Wednesday evenings or Thursday nights at 7 pm in Del Mar. Residents must have attendance slips signed by the meeting’s secretary. Clients must also attend an 8 am Sunday service at the Rock Church in San Diego.
Extras
At Victory Sober Living, there is the belief that exercise is advantageous to those in early recovery, by boosting self-esteem and providing health benefits. There are two fitness centers located in close proximity to the house.
Victory Sober Living is a member of the San Diego Sober Living Coalition, which demands high standards from its affiliates.
In Summary
For men who are looking for a faith-based home that also works with the comprehensive Big Book Awakening program, Victory Sober Living is a great fit. The house has a small number of men, which allows for a strong sense of fellowship, and is located in sunny San Diego, which is close to the beach.
