House mates

[TIMON]

20 guys in various stages of recovery from addiction share our house. (My wife and I oversee a men's recovery house)

Never a dull moment and hugely rewarding.

Hmm, how big of a house do you have?. Generally speaking have you and your wife always

run a half way house from home or is this just something recent? When we have guest or family visiting for a certain period of time planning and disruption of daily routines can be handled, however 20 men going through many different problems and challenges reads like a lights out cage match to me. How is this work done by two people?, are there any other volunteers to help?

Yeah there are loads of others helping.

They don't actually live "in" our home but on the same property. I said it kind of tongue in cheek.

[easy-lift guy]

Very kind of you and your wife to offer your land, time together.
