What's the deal with house management?

• House managers are there in the morning when you wake up to make sure you are sober when you come home. 
• They've seen more urine than a urologist drug testing clients. 
• The house manager picks up the slack when somebody doesn't do a chore or clean up after themselves. 
• When the therapists and counselors are home for the day, the house managers take the residents to meetings and introduce them to sponsors. 
• House Managers are the last defense against the first drink or drug when a sponsor, counselor, therapist, friend, or family member can't be there or the phone is too heavy to pick up. 
• They show you how to live independently, shop on a budget, look for work, cook, clean, and do laundry. 
• Some managers get free rent, a stipend, or sometimes nothing at all and volunteer because they want to help people. 
• Some managers go to work and school, balance their programs, and manage the house with joy and enthusiasm.
• House managers sacrifice personal lives and privacy not for a month or two but six months, a year, or more.
• Usually, you have to have at least 6 months of sobriety to be a house manager.
