Dear Chapter members,
It is only my opinion, but at the recent past chapter meeting. I observed a disturbing number of house representatives, who expressed the idea that there house members were placing an extremely high value on personal physical comfort. These houses have not tried to use the houses capacity levels or have reduced them . In efforts to gain privacy, comfort, self satisfaction, etc. . But at what cost? The possible financial failure of the house , added burden to chapter and all the healthy houses. We have seemed to have forgotten the purpose of Oxford Houses and it’s mission to help other addicts obtain recovery. We are slipping back into OLD BEHAVIOR and self indulgence. Leaving me with the perception that the . ” As long as I am comfortable, I don’t care about any one else” attitude has once again entered our life styles and has us rolling down hill to a destination of Tragedy, and Relapse. Who will help us that do not want this, find a solution?
