I am a previous resident of the Newtell Business, clean and sober housing. I first remember meeting Tiana and Sherman during a tour of their beautiful home. I was fresh out of treatment and very picky about housing. From the very beginning, they were very welcoming with support and love. I moved in the day after my tour. While living in their program I found so much support. All the house members were welcoming and caring, and we were a big family very quickly. I have missed the sense of security for many years during my addiction, so having comfort in the place I called home was joyful. While living there I got Covid and spent Christmas with one house member, shortly after I lost my best friend, Janna, to Covid. I have never experienced something so tragic and got through it clean and sober. I am truly grateful for Tiana and the members of the house who sat with me and didn’t let me go through that alone. I moved out a few weeks later only because my son was returning to me and I could not have him live there. It’s not for children. If children could be approved, I know I would still live there today. I would recommend this program to anyone willing to give their recovery 100%.

I want to say Thank You for giving me the opportunity to stay at the house. It was a very positive experience for me, and the things I learned while I was there, have helped me to grow in many different aspects. It helped me to become, and be, in a very comfortable place in my life early in my recovery. The people that I became friends with and shared the experience with, while I was living there, had, and have, a very profound impact on me. Thank You for having the foundation that you have, that made that possible for me on my journey. I will never forget it! And Thank You for all the support that you were able to give me and for being so understanding of the things I went through, while I was there!

I will never forget the day I called Sherman and Tiana, owner, and creator of the Newtell Business Foundation. Coming into her sober living home, I was embraced with a smile and conversation that would start a fire in my soul! I was amazed at the location and design, & vibe! The home is amazing! The men and women that were already on their way with sobriety and a plan, took my weakness and fear and showed me that I was enough! Rooms are spacious, clean, and organized! I am a huge foodie and cooking for people has always been my jam! So the kitchen space was big enough for us to move and groove & was the main space to hang and learn about each other! Eating, talking, morning coffee, and meditations are the norm! The huge pool space and yard out back were a great way to unwind and relax! Programming was pretty easy to navigate with our weekly requirements of meetings using a very modern EHR. Staff was able to allow us the freedom to choose from hundreds of meetings during the week both online and in person. Learning to identify with life and my challenge of separating myself from everything I knew wasn’t as hard as I thought. Beginning each day and looking at myself and who I no longer wanted to be was easy being under the supervision of a house of equally challenging personalities looking to become more alive! I highly recommend this program and vision! It continues to be a success because the people that come through here know the moment they arrive that this is a home with a heart that gets the work done! I always wanted to do something that no one else could do, the way no one else can do it! NOW I AM!!! It always Newtell Business and with her that love continues today as many pass through these doors on their way to a better life! It might even be you that finds it!!! Thanks so much.
