STAY FOCUSED. STAY TRUE.

Every day in recovery is a choice.
A choice to move forward.
A choice to do what’s right.
A choice to become who you were meant to be.

The real test isn’t when people are watching.
The real growth happens in the quiet moments…
When no one sees your decisions but you.

That’s where character is built.
That’s where strength is developed.
That’s where recovery becomes real.

Stay focused on your path.
Don’t get distracted by what’s behind you or around you.
Keep your eyes forward—like a driver on a busy highway—
because your destination matters.

Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching,
will keep you grounded, disciplined, and free.

One decision at a time. One day at a time.

Dr. Brenda Combs, EdD

Accountability is the difference between wishing for change and walking the path that creates it.

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

Thoroughly means honesty, willingness, action, and follow-through — even when it’s hard.

No half measures. Just growth, discipline, and purpose.

Her dedication to maintaining clean, safe, stable, and supportive living environments has made a real impact across our homes.

This promotion reflects not only the work she has already been doing, but the confidence we have in her ability to help strengthen our leadership systems and continue raising the standard of care and accountability throughout MTB.

🐣💐 Easter joy was in full bloom at Making Things Better Sober Living!

This weekend, our homes were filled with more than just baskets and beautiful meals—they were filled with laughter, healing, fellowship, and the reminder that recovery is about rebuilding moments that matter. From shared meals and festive decorations to meaningful connection and celebration, Easter gave our residents an opportunity to experience the beauty of community, hope, and new beginnings.

At Making Things Better Sober Living, we believe recovery includes creating healthy traditions, safe memories, and moments of joy that remind our residents what life in sobriety truly feels like. Holidays can be difficult for many, which is why it means so much to create spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

We are so proud of our house managers and residents for making this Easter so special across the homes. 🌷🐰💛

Healing happens in the little moments too.
And this weekend was full of them.

Recovery isn’t about getting everything right. It is about showing up every day and choosing to do better than yesterday.

Proud of every resident who is putting in the work, staying accountable, and choosing growth even when it is hard. One day at a time it adds up. 💙

✨Sobriety is not just about abstaining from substances. It is about building a lifestyle that supports healthy decisions.

Sober living programs help bridge the gap between treatment and independent living by reinforcing structure, responsibly, and peer accountability.
