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!
