One day at a time!

One day at a time is another way to say ” live now, in the moment”. When we are dealing with our sobriety the only moment that really matters is NOW. We can not drink NOW, or not abuse drugs NOW. The only time we can take action is NOW! We can only  effect the NOW and worrying about dealing with FUTURE NOWS is worrying about something we cannot do anything about. One day at a time really is one moment at a time. Handle each moment and you will handle the day, handle each day and you will handle the week, and handle each week and you will handle the month, and handle each month you will handle the year. It really comes down to the moment, the NOW!

So “one day at a time” really says more than we think. It is really about being present, living in the now. Taking control of our life and in particular taking control of our sobriety.  Our sobriety starts with being present and living in the present.  Being present to the profound importance of life, our lives and the gift of life. 

At La Residenza Villa, our luxury transitional sober home, we have practices that allow us to be present and live in the now, therefore not living in the yesterdays or tomorrows. Our ongoing growing and developing and our capacity to be happy every day is the foundation of our sobriety. Here at La Residenza Villa we focus on all people and in particular to the LGBT Gay community. We are proud to be considered one of the finest luxury sober living homes. We are inspired to be considered the finest luxury LGBT Gay sober living residence.

We are a function of the conversations we engage in!

A large part of who we are is determined by our language, our listening and speaking.We seem to be swayed by our conversations, the ones that come out of our mouth and the ones that go into our ears. Sober Living provides a structured environment to be present to our conversations and therefore have them support our new life of sobriety. A conversation is powerful enough to determined our actions, especially those conversations that live in our heads. To me, those are not real conversations, those are thoughts. And you can’t trust thoughts… they will tell you how small you are, or how fat or skinny you are, or how you are not enough. The Buddhists say the only good mind is a silent mind. We have no control of our thoughts, but we do have control of our conversations. 

Here at La Residenza Villa, a luxury transitional sober living home, we strive to master our conversations on sobriety therefore mastering our actions. If we could be present to what comes out of our mouths and what goes into our ears, we can be the master of our life!

New Year’s Day: an opportunity to create your life

New Year’s Day is just another day, like any other day, and yet we can use it as a special day, as a day where we could put the past in the past, and create a brand new future. We could use the early days of January as”a line in the Sand”, demarcating our old habits with our new commitments.

Here at La Residenza Villa, a luxury transitional sober living home, we are clear we can do this any day of our life. And the first new days of a New Year is the perfect time to begin new lives and stop the things that we know damage us. We can use these days to “Prime” a brand new life for us.

Our residents at our luxury sober living home support each other daily in their new commitments to sobriety. We are truly a family that care for each other very, very much and we are a stand that each and every one of us has the life we not only deserve, but the life we dream of.
