We are proud to announce the opening of CJO House, a sober house by Sober 4 Life. I started the journey of recovery with my older brother when I was in 7th grade. This is when he moved home to Massachusetts. Even though I was young, I was his primary support system. My brother and I had a very rough 3 years struggling with his addiction until October 10th 2014 when he decided to get clean. That was his birthday gift to me. Throughout this journey, I learned a lot about addiction and felt as if I couldn’t have this knowledge and not help other people. After being in recovery for 2 years, my brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is currently fighting for his life. After the news, I came up with the plan to open a sober house in my brother's name to encourage him and others like him to fight through their struggles.
