At Norfolk County Sober Living there are required rules in order to live in the home. These rules that are put in place are to develop the basic life skills to help build a foundation for those entering into recovery. Below are the rules for the sober living homes.

• Curfew is 10:00PM Sunday-Thursday and Midnight on Friday and Saturday’s
• Each quest has to complete a daily chore by 6:00PM
• Mandatory house meeting every Sunday night at 7:00
• Each guest must his a minimum of two AA meetings each week
• Each guest must be actively working with a AA sponsor
• Each guest is subject to random breathalyzers and drug screens. Failure to produce a negative drug screen is subject to discharge from the home.
• Guests are to have their beds made and room cleaned by 9:00 AM on week days and 10:00 on weekends.
• Guests are allowed to have family visitors on Sundays if it has been cleared by the manager of the sober home. Any belongings dropped off at the home are subject to be searched by the manager as well.

Theses rules are set in place in order to maintain a healthy and supportive enviorment for the well being of the home.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
