The right roommate can make all the difference when you’re focused on sobriety.When we talk about recovery, the conversation is usually focused on the internal work needed to get on track. Your physical and social environments are just as important if you want to stay on a healthy path. With rents rising all across the country, most of us need to live with a roommate. The right roommate can make all the difference when you’re focused on sobriety. Jesse Sandler, LCSW, created My Sober Roomate, a free online community that makes it easy for sober people to connect with like-minded roommates. Jesse shares why he created My Sober Roommate and explains the pivotal role environments play in recovery.
