“The program saved my life, literally. I’ve found a new family here.”

“It’s been a lifeline for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to recover.”

Sarah, 36

I came to the Timberleaf house after spending a year in another sober living program. I realized that I wasn’t ready to live independently yet, so I committed to staying in sober living. I wanted to transition to a sober living environment where I could be more independent while still maintaining a high level of accountability. I found out about Dallas Sober Living Solutions from a friend of mine who had moved into their women’s house when it first opened. She had nothing but positive things to say about the environment and the directors of the program. I moved into the house shortly after her and I really valued and appreciated having a friend in the house who I already have a strong relationship with. I actually knew several of the women from previous sober living and through the program. That sense of familiarity has really made the house feel more like home. We share responsibility within the home and work together to maintain the general upkeep of the house. The fellowship within the house operates to maintain a safe, respectable, and responsible living environment. I am happy to have found a place to call home at Timberleaf as I continue to learn and grow in my recovery.

I have been living here for the past 5 months and it has been great for my recovery! Chris and DJ are awesome and really want to be of service to people in need. The community that they have built through this home, among others is next to none and would recommend anyone in need of a great place to continue your recovery journey outside of treatment to come here! Can't thank Chris and DJ enough for the help and foundation they have provided me to live life to the best of my abilities on day at a time.

Dallas Sober Living has been an absolute blessing. The opportunity to live in a nice house and neighborhood is an amazing stepping stone and essential for my recovery. The owners are available and speak to me and others in recovery with respect and dignity, never in a condescending manner. Since I have been in DSL I have met many awesome people, who are there for me and I can be there for them. Friends who have helped me get back in the workforce and also keep me accountable. I highly recommend Dallas Sober Living to anyone who is serious about their recovery and not only needs, but wants a safe, healthy, and fun environment to accomplish your recovery goals.

I was introduced to a lot of the men in the Dallas Sober Living Solutions house when I first began working the program, attending the same meetings as a lot of the residents of the house, and they are some of the most supportive and kind hearted people I have ever met. They regularly host in house sober events and meetings that everyone in recovery is welcome to and offer such great fellowship, which is an integral part of sobriety. The leadership from the owners for the overall structure and from the house manager for all day to day functionalities is spot on which allows this house to be the optimal option for someone seeking sober living. Their passion for recovery and helping the fellow alcoholic/addict navigate sobriety couldn’t be better and it really shows with the number of men that have lived in this house for extended periods of time.

Chris, the co owner, went above and beyond for my daughter, accommodating her tentative circumstances. Chris and his staff demonstrated compassion and were caring, spending a lot of time with my adult daughter to ensure she was ok. I appreciate the flexibility, but mostly, the peace of mind knowing she was safe. Thank you Chris, Ashley and all who do this hard work.

PS:The accommodations are exceptional.

Dallas Sober Living Solutions is an amazing place. Not only is the house stunning but the people, program and founders are rock solid. I've had the opportunity to witness multiple men transform their lives with the help and guidance of DSLS and am grateful for every interaction we've had. I will continue to recommend this sober living going forward and look forward to seeing more men grow with their help.

I wish there were a 10 star ⭐️ option because 5 just doesn’t seem enough for how I feel about Dallas Sober Living Solutions. Chris McGuire has a servants heart & the dedication he has to the men at his homes is unmatched. The philosophy Chris has around having sober fun in order to stay grounded is evident the minute you walk through the door of this meticulously clean home. I have had the opportunity to visit the house many times & the community/family atmosphere is incredible. I have a client living there now, & have been impressed with the accountability/structure they provide. Thank you Chris for always providing a safe, affordable option for men to Recover.
