Teaching your residents how to hold themselves accountable in their recovery is a big thing for sober livings to impart on their residents during their stay. It is an important skill for residents to learn. One Step has invested a lot of time and energy into creating tools for sober livings to be able to help residents hold themselves accountable during and after their stay in sober living. Below are some ways for you to help your residents to hold themselves accountable.
1) Keep track of your sober date
The One Step app encourages residents to add their sober date so they can see the sober counter of how many days, weeks, months and years they have sober. This is one of the most liked features and is a great resource to provide your community!
2) Read motivational quotes every morning
One Step sends out a motivational quote every morning at 9am. This is a great resource to provide your current residents and alumni. As we all know, inspirational quotes, staying positive and trusting the process are key in recovery.
3) Keep a schedule of all recovery related activities
It is important for residents to manage their schedule. They should get in the habit of doing morning meditations, cleaning their room, making their bed when they wake up, working out, talk to their sponsor, attend AA meetings and work on their steps. All of this should be in one central calendar which conveniently is in the One Step app. When they are in the house, you can see their schedules and afterwards, when they move out of the house, they will be well equipped to continue managing their own schedule!
4) Stay in touch with housemates
Residents create a strong bond between people living in the house and with the house manager. One Step provides a group chat for you to stay in touch with alumni to tell them about events at the house.
5) Attend AA meetings and track attendance
Many houses have a meeting requirement. One Step gives residents the ability to track the number of meetings they attend while they are in your program and after. Residents love to see the total numbers of meetings they have attended and seeing their meeting history.
