The Twelve Step House
About The Twelve Step House
Situated in Chicago’s Ravenswood and Lincoln Square neighborhood along North Damen Avenue, this nonprofit recovery residence offers a sober living environment for men seeking sobriety from alcohol use. Established in 1958, the house supports men who want to practice recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous principles. Residents live together in a structured setting that encourages accountability, peer support, and active participation in a community focused on alcohol recovery.
Community Rooted in Twelve Step Recovery
Recovery in the house follows the Twelve Step approach used in Alcoholics Anonymous. Residents and community members attend regular group meetings held inside the home, where participants share experiences and support one another in sobriety. The program encourages members to “carry the message” by helping others who struggle with drinking while staying engaged with Alcoholics Anonymous literature and sponsor guidance.
Daily Structure That Supports Sobriety
Life in the residence centers on shared responsibility and steady routines. Each individual completes assigned housekeeping chores and contributes to maintaining the home. The house also prepares wholesome, family-style meals, with residents sharing kitchen and meal duties. Living alongside men working toward sobriety helps build accountability and encouragement during early recovery.
