Sobriety in the time of Coronavirus

O’Brien House will begin our 50th year of service on September 9, 2020, and we will celebrate attaining that 50th milestone in 2021. What will our world look like then? The pace of change has always surprised us, but the avalanche of technological innovation was nothing like the stay-at-home precautions, business closures, and suspension of sports. O’Brien House has traditionally held an annual meeting of our Board and Stakeholders at this time of year. This time, we meet in cyberspace.

You are invited to review our 2019 Annual Report which can be downloaded. Our progress has been significant because you journeyed with us every step of the way.

We will use this page to highlight current news through the evolution of the pandemic, so we urge you to keep coming back!

We are curious what the next year will bring. We are warned of terrible losses and corrosive fear. Nevertheless, we take great consolation in this quote from The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions: “The moment we catch even a glimpse of God’s will, the moment we begin to see truth, justice, and love as the real and eternal things in life, we are no longer disturbed by all the seeming evidence to the contrary that surrounds us in purely human affairs. We know that God lovingly watches over us. We know that when we turn to him, all will be well with us, here and hereafter.”
