The staff at Eudaimonia is made up of a diverse group of people with personal and professional experiences with addiction. Gabe Oliver is one of our House Managers in Austin and he took some time to answer a few of our questions about who he is and what he does at Eudaimonia.


Gabe Oliver, House Manager

What is your role at Eudaimonia Recovery Homes?

→ I have been granted the opportunity to be a house manager at Eudaimonia. This means I am responsible for holding up to 4 individuals accountable, with under 30 days clean, to the Eudaimonia standards.

What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?

→ I especially enjoy our meditation and nightly groups! After practicing the daily reprieve as such for a longer period of time I got to experience sanity being returned, as the Big Book discusses. To have an opportunity to pass this solution to newcomers and then see that spark happen within them is just wonderful!

What three words would you use to describe Eudaimonia?

→ Community. Love. Home.

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?

→ Tacos

What is your hidden talent?

→ Organization and time management

If given a chance, which Marvel superhero would you be for a day?

→ Adam Warlock

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned thus far in your own recovery?

→ I don’t know anything.

What piece of advice would you give to someone else who is recovering from addiction?

→ If you’re someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired and you want to make a change in your life; do so with honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness. With that, understand that there will be challenges ahead and inevitably you will fall short. Do not let that be the end all be all anymore but continue to persevere!

From Rehab to Sober Living: Using the 12 Steps

Leaving rehab is often a shift from a highly planned setting to a more open one. In treatment, days can be structured around groups, meals, and check-ins. In sober living, there is usually more independence, along with expectations that support a substance-free lifestyle. Many people add a 12 steps program during this stage because it offers routine, peer connection, and practical habits that can carry into long-term recovery. This post explains how 12 steps addiction recovery approaches—especially Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and other 12 step support groups—can fit into sober living. Some people describe the steps as “12 steps to recovery” tools they can reuse over time. It also covers common questions people search for online, such as aa therapy, step meeting formats, and how to work the 12 steps of aa in day-to-day life.

Sober Living House Rules in Austin

Sober living homes are group residences for people in recovery from substance use. They are not hospitals or formal treatment centers. Instead, they offer a drug- and alcohol-free place to live with built-in structure and peer support. Residents usually share bedrooms and common spaces, split basic household costs, and agree to follow written sober house rules. These rules are designed to keep the home stable, predictable, and recovery-focused for everyone who lives there. In Austin, sober living homes may be called recovery homes, recovery residences, or clean and sober housing. Local zoning and safety codes still apply, even when the home is peer-run rather than clinical.

Research on sober living houses shows that drug‑ and alcohol‑free homes with peer support and clear expectations can improve long‑term outcomes when combined with outpatient care and mutual‑help groups.
