It never ceases to amaze me how people who do very little expect so much.If you go looking for drug's and madness you will get what come's with it.Then there are those who have no clue of policies and procedures or agreement's not even to themself's.there are rule's in everything we do in life.It's up to you to pick the one's you want to follow. in a relationship if you cheat you end up without that relationship,dont go to work your fired,dont take your medication your sick again,go in the dope holes expect to be shot ,stabbed,robbed or steal and go to jail,stay clean and be happy and free,love yourself and be free to love others so clair you pick what rules you want to follow.There are two kind's of addict's,,those that need it and those that want it Clair is one that need's it but doesn't want it.Staying clean require's more then just saying ,,i go to meeting's or speaking the serenity prayer and not knowing or doing what it says and what it mean's and surely not following the direction's of those trying to help you.What program (Dacco,Acts,Par,Spencers,Footprints,Mustard seed is going to return money to you after you have relapsed continously and also showing another resident how to shot heiron into their arm's.What does Clair expect when she roams the crack den's of St pete in search of the next high.Also why is it that some of these parent's who don't want to be bothered with their own kid's get upset when their's relapes for the 7 and 8th time and treatment after treatment after treatment fails.First off there's no magic bullet or magic words only the personal desires of the heart will keep them clean.When clair points she needs to look at her hand and see that there are 4 fingers pointed back at her.If you hold onto that addict behavior dont be surprised if get what what you give yourself.Maybe if she seeks some spiritualty she may find peace.Clair doesnt want to stop getting high but the addiction has the uncanny ability of stopping you with aids,hepitius,hiv,gaingreen,death.i often wondered if a crack smoker ever wondered why when they peep out the window after smoking and never see anyone, because it the Grimereeper waiting for you and he has no face.So clair to you i say ,keep doing things your way and blaming everyone along the way and wondering why you stay that way. All to often a addict place's blame for all their insane things and pain but when you dont put work in you stay the same.I would wish you luck but thats for the casino so for you i will pray that you make it another day.
Good Luck Clare

Rule #1 here at Sober Living. If you relapse you automatically loose your deposit. And or get kicked out. We all wish you well. Tammy

If you want to stay sober, DO NOT move into this house. First off Tammy Cate is a scam and is only interested in your money. She has no knowledge on addiction or alcoholism and has no idea what she is doing. She is only interested in the money. She could care less about you. I had plans to move out into a different sober house and tammy was jealous about so when i asked about getting my deposit she got very angry and kicked me out with no reason or right to do so. She is not willing to give me my money back which is very wrong but this woman is not worth fighting with because she is very childish and immature. I am just happy to be getting out of that house. The house manager is also very rude. She will be very nice to your face but as soon as your back is turned she will talk about you and be very rude and nasty. This is not a healthy living place and if you want to be sober i advise you not to go here..if you do your sobriety is at stake.

I would like to say first off that the only people that have wrote bad things, are those who have relapsed. It is what you make it, I have found that the women here have been my rock and main support system (those who work the program of course). Janine I remember very clearly the mean things you said to everyone of us at this house when you came back from a relapse. WE WERE SCARED OF YOU. BUT WE STILL TRIED TO HELP YOU. Other than that this has been an amazing learning experience for me transitioning into the 'real world' I am now about to turn 7 months sober, have a job, and am moving out BECAUSE of Tammy allowing me to stay here and work with me, going out and doing this on my own NOT solely relying on the manager and owner, along with the other people living here who really want this. FOLLOW THE WINNERS. This is also a very beautiful place.
I wouldn't go there.

It may be what you make out of it, but my experience was that the women were very unsupportive. One lived there but drank when she went to see her boyfriend. Others had other addictions besides drinking and drugs. I felt like I was only there because Tammy Cates was money hungry. There website claims all these amenities but half of them weren't provided. I thought I was duped and the women there really didn't give a shit. I am happy to say since I left there I've been much happier, much healthier and much more sober. BEWARE!!!
