I moved into to Oxford House Neptune in VA. Beach September 5th 2024.  I had just returned from a rehab with no job and no family who would deal with me.  I went to an AA meeting, a person there knew about Oxford and gave me the information.  I called Neptune house, a member answered, and asked where I was. Two men came and picked me up. They called an emergency meeting, interviewed, and accepted me into their Oxford home.  That scenario only could have taken place in a peer run recovery house model .  The brotherhood of Oxford and peer accountability has saved my life.  Speaking freely only for myself, men and women who have suffered the grips of active addiction, CAN recover with the help and love from each other.
