The self-assessment tests are only accurate IF you accurately answer them truthfully so keep that in mind.Alcohol Abuse Self-AssessmentSubstance Use Self-Assessment Complete Our Admissions Form Complete Our Admissions Form Do You Think You're Ready To Get Sober?Have You Had Enough? If you’re new to recovery or just completed a self-assessment test and may be wondering if you have a “problem”… first, welcome to the team, and second, you don’t have to experience all the suffering many us, our guys, have had to experience in order to wake up to the fact that you will never be able to “safely” use drugs or alcohol without serious consequences.So… here’s the thing, if you’re anything like us (a real alcoholic or addict), you probably don’t like your current situation, shoot you may be pissed at the world and wondering why you of all people have to deal with this.We’d bet a fancy dinner on the fact that you, the person reading this, have had some consequences related to drugs or alcohol and sure as hell have had loved ones voice their concerns about the way you act when you’re using.Maybe you’ve been to jail, have had a DUI or three, have ruined relationships, maybe your family isn’t too happy or you’re now on absolute thin ice with them… maybe you call yourself a “functioning alcoholic” who’s managed to achieve a respectful level of success in your life but there is a common denominator — life gets fucked up when start going on a run or binge… maybe you recognize that you drink too much or you’re eating pills like mints or shooting up or whatever else it is that we do to get that euphoric high, numb yourself, or simply “survive the day.”Maybe you’re just drinking or using substances to avoid getting sick at this point.Whatever the reason is that you’re using, we know it’s a shitty way to live. If life was so grand and you were on a winning streak, you probably wouldn’t be on this page.You may not like how blunt we all about it but unfortunately, we’re addicts too so being direct is the only thing that got our attention.Who knows you’re different, the exception to what millions have experienced? We haven’t met you yet.We’d like to though, you’re probably more like us than we are like other “normal people” who can go out to dinner, buy a $9+ glass of wine and then not even finish it. To us, that’d be like starting a line and not finishing it. Who does that? Our addicted brain tells us that would be a waste of money, right?Here’s what we do know: if you’ve tried to stop using drugs or alcohol or have wanted to stop, only to find yourself using shortly after, you probably have a problem. And if you don’t know it already, there isn’t anything anyone else can do to keep you sober short of jails, institutions, or death unless you’re willing to fundamentally change your entire lifestyle and try something new.As addicts and alcoholics, we’re screwed. Sorry man. But just so the person writing this doesn’t sound like a bad infomercial — there is a solution (wait there’s more).We grab our disease of addiction and life by the horns and do something about it.The question is — has your addiction, lifestyle, and all the consequences beat you down enough where you’re willing to change nearly everything about yourself to achieve long-term recovery?If you are ready to build a better, more successful life… one that we can guarantee you’ll be able to enjoy. Please do yourself a favor, stop making excuses or whatever, and give us a call or take a few minutes to complete our admissions form. We have your back.You can stay sober, hundreds of our guys are still sober today.The only thing stopping YOU… is that you have a cunning chronic disease that has altered how your brain works (don’t believe us? read this scientific study), and maybe life hasn’t gotten bad enough for you to humble yourself and ask for help.Our sober living program is pretty sweet compared to others, and the cool thing is that we actually want to help. We’re not in it for the money and we have awesome communities no matter which property you’re interested in.What’s the worst that’s going to happen?

It's incredibly humbling... surreal even, to think back to when we opened our first sober house in St. Petersburg, and to see all the men, families, and friends that have been touched by our community. We love you all! Thank you for your honest feedback. This place has been an amazing experience for me. The owners and staff care about the residents and help them learn how to live a positive and productive life. After countless relapses I made the decision to come to Real Recovery Tampa and the accountability and friends I've made while living here has made all the difference. This place is newly renovated and the living conditions are fantastic. Getting involved in a 12 step program and attending meetings on a regular basis has helped me grow to be a better person. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay sober and make a positive change in their life.Ryan B.via Google - Tampa Property This place has been an amazing experience. I currently stay here at real recovery and I must say it includes everything you could ask for in a sober living facility. From nightly meetings and plenty of fellow peers to speak with, as well as firm yet understanding leader ship.

(Mother)via Google - North Tampa Property I have struggled for many years with a debilitating case of untreated alcoholism , until I made the life changing decision to come to Real Recovery St.Pete. With the support of staff, and residents alike, I am still sober sober 13 months later. I can not say enough good things about this place! Thank you Real Recovery!Kyle K.via Google - St. Petersburg Property I honestly wouldn't consider this residency a halfway house. It's much too clean, the appliances and units are brand new. The furnishings are upheld and cared for. The property itself is maintained multiple times a week.

And the property maintains a safe place for men of all afflictions to recover in a safe and sober environment.

Everyone there has the same goals; stay sober, support those around you, attend meetings, follow the 12 steps, and lead a clean life. If your goals are not consistent with these principles do not consider Real Recovery as an option. The place is clean and was recently updated; giant TVs in every room and all the amenities of home. If you are serious in your sobriety this place is for you. JJ and Patrick are the best and will call you out if you try to fake it to make it.
