I realize that most things posted here are of the more happy wonderful type. I really dont know what to say right now or where to turn at the moment. The feelings that I currently have are tremendous to say the least. Things went well after my treatment. Until I decided to drive again taking the wheel out of my higher powers hands once again.Turning blind to the progress I’d made the family I made once proud. I know better what a mistake. I find myself ashamed filled and wearing a hospital bracelet. I’m okay physically, I’m sober, but full of regret and what ifs. I’ve heard so many people say it, that those are what get you. I am looking for a sober living home in or close to Paducah, KY. I would be willing to leave my job and everything behind if needed but would prefer to remain in this area. If anyone knows of anything or has ideas please let me know I may be contacted day or night here or by text or phone at 2702433970. Day 1

Huge step Jamie!!! 👏👏👏 Have you found a sober living yet?
No I haven’t Rich. I found the Oxford house here in Paducah (didnt know it existed here) however unfortunately there are not any available men’s openings at the moment. Would anyone happen to know of others in the area by chance. If so I would love any information someone may be able to lend. Just got back from a really good meeting about 5 minutes ago. So I’m eager to make some calls to anything available. Thanks Rich in advance to anyone whom can help as well.
Hey Jamie! Any updates or luck on finding a sober living other than the Oxford House?
Hi Rich I hope all is well and that you had a great holiday. No as of yet I have not had any luck. From what I have been able to find there are only two groups that have sober living homes in this area. There is the House of Hope and the Oxford House. Both have around 3 houses for men and 1 or 2 for women. Unfortunately the men’s housing here is in high demand I guess. Seeming as I am on a waiting list to get in. I am currently staying with my parents and sleeping on the couch. My sobriety is safe here but it is in no way ideal at all. There is t much space and I totally feel all in the way even though it’s my mother and stepfather place. I mean I’m 38 and living on there couch with plastic totes as dressers. I guess it could be worse so I should consider myself lucky. As I have said if anyone knows of anything around my area please let me know. I may be possibly willing to relocate if there is assistance with finding work placement because I would be leaving a full time job. My wife and I separated about a month ago which is why my situation has changed.
Thanks,
Jamie M
