Oxford House Saved Me
 

I live in Oxford House - Edgehill Richmond Virginia. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations.

-Oxford House and Peer Support of my Housemates has assisted keeping me clean for 2 years. 
- Upon moving in I stepped up into the real world by gaining responsibility that was required of me while keeping clean. 
- I have kept a stable job and schedule since moving into an Oxford House. Without the stable structure of the self run Oxford House I more than likely would have fallen back into my old ways.

I 100% thrive in Oxford Houses and would not be where I am today without the structure and responsibilities it has provided me.

Thank You,

Claire Kaus
