First time through I went directly home after discharge and lasted six weeks before relapsing. This time I want a proper transitional step before rejoining normal life. Want something Christian-based and close enough that my kids can visit on weekends. Anyone been through the process of finding local faith-based sober living and can share what worked?

The fact that you're not repeating the same mistake says everything about where your head is at this time. Did the exact same thing after my first discharge, straight home, familiar triggers everywhere, relapsed at week five. Second round I found a Christian sober living place 25 minutes from my family and the weekend visits from my daughter honestly became the anchor that kept everything stable. Having something real to stay sober for while being close enough to actually see it regularly changes the dynamic completely. Christian halfway house near me helped me search with the right filters and understand what questions to ask before committing to any specific place. The proximity to family piece is worth prioritizing hard when choosing.
