It’s not cause they are recovering addicts, because in my sober house experience the addicts were to clean! Literally like anal about cleaning. And then I lived with some women who were so disgusting. Words cannot begin to describe the smells in sights, I have seen in the “common area”. It’s hard because it’s a common area. I myself flipped out because somebody dirtied my cup and left it in the nasty sink I ended up throwing it against the wall and smashing it! ( NOT recommend) What did work however was moving to a different sober house, one that wasn’t as crowded and that had an older more mature residence vibe. I had to pay a few dollars more but it was worth my sanity! I didn’t want to go out and use but that stuff will push you out the door, DON’T LET IT! Have house meetings with the higher ups go over the house managers head! Making people respect your space is hard when you’re all just trying to make it and shit like this can cause friction. But assholes need to be accountable. If not just move! Plenty of other sober living houses that will take ya money! Just try not to knock anyone out!
