Chapter 260
 

I am an Oxford House alumni, who spent 5 years living in Oxford House with peers that had the same issues as mine. 

I am clean because of Oxford House and the peers in it that gave me a chance to have responsibility, and to hold myself and others accountable by following the oxford house model. I am one of many success story's from Oxford House and that's quite unique compared to other sober living and halfway houses. The big difference to me is that Oxford house isn't a half way house. We live together as a Family, grow in recovery together, and learn and use oxford house rules that protect our house. This system works and it has done so for a long time. 

Chapter 260 would eliminate that success by going completely against Oxford House model of having a peer ran house, that has worked so well for me and so many others.
