Just because we may dump too much cinnamon in an apple turnovers doesn't mean we aren't “good enough”; we just let it go and move forward. I want them to feel at ease when trying something new.

Some guys come naturally to working with dough, while others are more comfortable with a knife. A study of 300 individuals whom resided in Sober Living Homes (SLH) was published in 2010 by a division of the NIH (National Institute of Health) (Douglas L. Polcin, 2010).
Learning to live a happy life free of alcohol and drugs takes time, but you can do it if you want to.

Together, we will start discussing what you want to achieve by engaging the support at Tharros.
I want to leave room for creativity and mistakes and self acceptance because these are all part of life.

We fit in between what you’d find at a clinical extended care program and very supportive recovery home.
