My experience at Elmer Day Sober Living was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a safe, supportive, and truly structured environment. The house itself is clean, comfortable, and set up in a way that allows you to focus fully on your recovery while still feeling at home. What really stood out to me was the level of personal care and attention given by Johnny, the owner. He didn’t just run the house from a distance—he took the time to check in with me personally and make sure I had everything I needed to feel stable and supported during my stay. That level of dedication and compassion made a huge difference in my overall experience. The environment at Elmer Day is safe, positive, and filled with people who are committed to bettering their lives. I always felt encouraged, never judged, and surrounded by accountability and structure that helped me stay on track. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to grow, heal, and build a solid foundation for the future. I can honestly say that my time here was life-changing.

My experience here feels like I’m at a house of my own. It’s feels like when I get my own place I will be ready and set for what life comes my way I’ll be ready for it. This house has teach and is teaching me life’s lessons and rules. A thank you shout out to both Carlos and Daniel for being so friendly and supportive to me. When my time to go comes forth I will miss you two very much. Thank you Elmer Day Sober Living for having me. And one more thanks to the boss Johnny for giving me a chance at living here at this great place.

Elmer Day Sober Living was by far the best sober living home I’ve ever been to. The houses are beautiful and were so welcoming and inclusive. It truly felt like a safe space where I could be myself and focus on recovery. Everyone there feels like family, and the support and sense of community made all the difference. I completed the program with honors and am proud to say I’m still clean and sober six months later. I can’t thank the staff and house leaders enough for creating such a positive, life-changing environment.
