Vanderburgh House

We support each other’s path as well as to share what we have mastered. Some guys come naturally to working with dough, while others are more comfortable with a knife. On my first night of teaching cooking, in the Tharros kitchen, a home for recovering addicts, one of the guys blurted out “Are you gonna be comfortable working with 8 addicts? ”…My quick retort was “Yes, I am very much at home in a kitchen… I wish the rest of the population was this honest, direct, real and open!

Why Sober Living?

I want them to feel at ease when trying something new. I don’t want them to be tense with feelings of pressure to do it the “right” way or feel shame if they do it “wrong”. I want to leave room for creativity and mistakes and self acceptance because these are all part of life.

1. I’m so proud of these guys who are diligently working their recovery.
2. The proper support, combined with a safe environment and first hand know-how will guide you to experience a new way of being and behaving.
3. Each room presents singular characteristics which are proper to the original architecture of the buildings.
4. Asking vulnerable questions in the kitchen encourages them to do the same when they step out into the world.
5. I feel the group’s energy …one “I’ll try it’ leads to another courageous “I’ll do it”.
6. “Yes, I said, I am a recovered bulimic.” How lovely to just be able to share the secret of my past like it was no big deal…so refreshing.
