Your Holidays, Your Sponsor, Your Sobriety
The holiday season is upon us and maintaining your sobriety can become more challenging due to the unique pressures and triggers that often arise during this time of year. One of the most valuable resources in navigating these challenges is your sponsor. Their involvement is crucial to staying focused and supporting you.
The holidays are filled with triggers, such as parties, family dynamics, and emotional stress. Events like seeing old friends, attending substance-filled gatherings, or dealing with emotional family situations can be overwhelming.
Difficult emotions such as loneliness, grief, or frustration can arise, increasing the risk of relapsing. Isolation is a significant problem, especially during the holidays when others may seem busy with family or friends.
During the holidays and their stressful times, it’s easy to neglect the recovery tools that have kept you sober. Your sponsor can ensure you stay diligent in attending meetings, working the steps, and prioritizing your recovery, even amidst the holiday hustle.
Wishing You Strength and Support This Holiday Season!

Services & Amenities
Our Service
Food Included
CSTL provides three meals a day in Phase One; these meals are prepared in the kitchen and served at specified times in the Meeting House. We do this for two reasons: to make it easier for our residents to manage their finances (i.e. to take the cost of food out of their budget considerations) and to provide opportunities for our residents to interact and to get to know each other during meal times. Breakfast and dinner are prepared on a daily basis by selected resident cooks; lunch consists of leftovers from the previous night’s dinner, that morning’s breakfast, and cold cuts and other sandwich fixings.
Dining Area
The Dining Area in the Meeting House is where our Phase One residents eat together and socialize with each other. All CSTL homes in both Phase One and Phase Two have full kitchens.
Comfortable Rooms
In Phase One, CSTL will provide you with a twin-size bed, a dresser, and a shared space in a closet. In Phase Two, residents have their own furnished rooms.
Relaxation Area
There is a living room in the Meeting House where residents from all houses and any guests can gather to watch television or movies.
Meeting Room
CSTL has two meeting rooms that are used for 12-step meetings and for Sunday night house meetings. The larger of the two meeting rooms is in the Meeting House and is also converted to additional dining space on a daily basis for dinner.
