He didn’t know it at the time, but this would be the first of many people he would offer shelter and safe haven to. As time went on he forged his way through his own battles to maintain sobriety. He filled every one of his empty rooms and found support and purpose through service.
Accountability
One Alcoholic, one Addict helping another he found strength and hope in numbers. With the help of the 12 principles of recovery Jesse New Beginning Recovery opened Steppingstones Recovery Homes in 2022 to give a chance to others who were willing to travel the road of recovery, and need some help along the way. Each New Beginning Recovery has a dedicated house manager whose responsibility is to ensure the well being of the house occupants. All with at least one year of sobriety, the house managers show a commitment to working a 12-step program in their daily lives, and demonstrate through their actions that they can lead by example.

OUR HOMES

Jesse endured the battles of early sobriety, alone in this now empty house. One day in a 12 step meeting he heard a fellow member who was fighting for their sobriety and had nowhere left to go. Jesse had vacant rooms so he offered his home to this individual under the condition they maintained their sobriety.
Our sober living takes guys out to eat randomly to bond, or even white water rafting. Every year we do something around Christmas to give back to the community. Last year we handed out over $1,000 dollars in gift cards to the homeless. It’s all about building relationships and connecting with each other.
Behavioral Health
Our sober living is different from other programs because we get to know our clients, and they are not just a «number». Each home has weekly meetings including a house business meeting where practical issues are discussed such as chores and any behavior that is disruptive to the house. Additionally, there are two recovery-oriented meetings including a 12-Step group and a literature study. These recovery meetings are open to all same-sex houses and residents are encouraged to invite their sponsors. This is also a forum where alumni often visit and give their stories or offer to sponsor a newcomer. When you join Stepping Stones, you are becoming part of a large recovery network.
Stepping Stones provides sober housing for men who desire to change their lives through 12-step based recovery. If you’re looking not just for sober living, but an experience that will enhance your recovery and spirituality, come join us at Stepping Stones. Trying very hard to avoid temptation to go drink or do whatever I can find. Coaching, resume development, mock interviews, skill assessments, and transportation are all components of a new residents’ job search strategy.
By design our homes are warm, welcoming and safe, nurturing our recovery family. The relationships that are formed are strong and often continue after residents leave Stepping Stones. It is at the core of our model as it both fosters personal responsibility and allows the house to function orderly. Our recovery homes foster independence – house expenses in the form of “rent” are paid by residents. This covers basic foodstuffs, cable, telephone, internet, utilities, transportation, drug testing, and the housing itself. Our mission is to provide safe, supportive sober living communities for those in recovery.
