Wellness-based, multi-pathway men's sober living integrating yoga, meditation, breathwork, and intentional house culture
Fireside Sober Living is a structured, wellness-oriented sober living provider in Austin, Texas serving men ages 18–70 who are committed to recovery. It describes itself as a supportive residential environment rather than a clinical treatment center or detox facility, designed to complement ongoing recovery work. Fireside supports multiple recovery pathways — traditional 12-step programs, holistic/non-12-step practices, and more individualized approaches — and notes that many residents participate in programs such as SMART, Recovery Dharma, AA, or Refuge Recovery. The model emphasizes structure, accountability, leadership, and community, with owner presence and high-level, incentivized house managers who set house culture. Daily and weekly structure includes morning meditation, weekly house meetings, random UAs, clear conduct standards, and weekly recovery meetings or wellness events. Wellness offerings include yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound baths, and monthly recovery-wide community events intended to support nervous system regulation and emotional resilience; residents also have wellness/gym memberships, access to Flow Yoga Studios and the 3rd Eye Meditation Lounge, an on-site therapist (group therapy twice monthly), and a fruit and vegetable garden. Core values are Open-Mindedness, Community, Radical Honesty, Mindful Living, and Personal Sovereignty. The program outlines a six-month 'Fireside Journey' of growth milestones building toward long-term independence.
