Testimonials

from people who have called Blue Door home...

  • “It was a privilege being in recovery at Blue Door. I lived in four different sober houses over the course of my journey, and Blue Door was by far the best. That's due not only to the leadership of Blake and Oliver, who combined compassion and accountability in a way that worked perfectly for me, but also to all of my fellow residents for taking their own recovery so seriously and keeping the house a safe and welcoming place for us all.”

  • "After living in several sober living homes, Blue Door South was the first place where I truly felt at home. It offered the accountability I needed to protect my recovery while giving me the freedom to be myself in a welcoming LGBTQ+ community. The structure, support, and sense of belonging I found here helped me build a life I’m genuinely proud of."

  • "Blue Door is more than just a sober living facility.  It is a vital community.  Not just for those who have lived there, but many of us have found a safe and affirming space to share our lives and experiences with each other at Blue Door.  I’ve been attending their weekly AA meetings for years and can’t express how important and beautiful it is to have a space like this for queer people where we can support and lift each other up."

    Eric S.

  • "As Blake often says, a key tenet of sobriety is staying 'in the middle of the boat,' and Blue Door has been a life raft for countless queer people in recovery."

  • “Living at Blue Door was more than just having a place to stay—it was finding a community that genuinely supported my recovery and identity. The accountability and connection I found here continue to guide me today.”
