[quote=Anonymous]The sober living industry complex is nothing like what was available in the 70s and 80s, with Betty Ford and Hazelden.  I live in So Cal, and had a "sober living home" literally in my back yard.  It was a revolving door of men and then women fresh out of rehab and barely hanging on.  We shared a fence (and our patios were feet apart) and I heard all their stories.  The "counselors" would have therapy on that patio.  
The "clients" were babied and volunteered at animal shelters and were told over and over that their bodies processed drugs and alcohol differently from other people.  It seemed like they were giving these people so many excuses for their addictions and not dealing with root issues. Nor requiring real accountability.  The counselors and house managers were recent grads of the programs, which was a terrible idea.  Those folks needed time to have and establish their own sober lives before assisting others on their journeys. 
Total cash grab on part of these companies selling sobriety.  The clients aren't getting sober.  They were nightmare neighbors, and really, it was inappropriate of the sober living company to shoehorn them into a suburb vs. Betty Ford or Hazelden where you are out in a more remote area with room to heal. 
Brando is not authentically sober and like a pp stated, this is not going to end well.

Also, how dysfunctional were the men in Tina's life that Brando looked like such a catch after the terrible admissions?  Ugh.  [/quote]
