When men first come in to The Bridge they do not work outside jobs. The first 5-6 months are spent getting stable. That time is for them to learn new patterns, so when they do begin working again they will be more productive and reliable. Although they are not personally earning money in Phase I, they learn to get up everyday have morning devotions, leave the house and go work and then come home --- while sober. So when they do go back out and work they will have a new productive pattern of living. One of our guys, Louie just went through that process and now he is experiencing the fruit of a well earned paycheck. He is very glad to be able to finally start paying his own way and taking responsibility. Responsibility comes not only with sobriety but paying your obligations. Louie is on his way to doing that. We are so proud of him!!! Way to go Louie!!!
