Welcome to Always Forward Recovery Residence of Daytona Beach!
For me, Always Forward is much more than a recovery residence. It's an opportunity to give others the same support, encouragement, and sense of belonging that helped change my own life.
Our mission is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive living environment where residents can rebuild their lives, develop meaningful friendships, and rediscover happiness and purpose in recovery.
I believe recovery is about more than simply staying sober. It's about learning to enjoy life again, accepting responsibility, building confidence, and preparing for a brighter, more independent future.
I'm grateful for the people who helped me along my own journey, and I'm committed to creating an environment where others can discover those same opportunities for personal growth, lasting friendships, and new beginnings.
Moving Forward Together, One Day at a Time.

From Resident to Managing Director
Robert Pearce walked through the doors of Mike Fine Hall, then home to Fine Sober Living, seeking a fresh start and a better future. With the encouragement and support of the staff and fellow residents, Robert began rebuilding his life and discovering a renewed sense of purpose.
After completing his recovery program, Robert chose to stay involved in the community that helped him change his life. His dedication to helping others eventually led him to take an active role in managing the residence, where he drew upon his personal experiences to encourage and support those beginning their own recovery journeys.
When the opportunity arose to take the next step, Robert embraced it, establishing Always Forward Recovery Residence at Mike Fine Hall in Daytona Beach — the very place where his own journey toward a better life began.
Today, Robert's mission is simple: to give others the same opportunity for hope, encouragement, and a fresh start that once helped him change his own life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sober living and rehab?
Rehab is the clinical, therapeutic stage of recovery — detox, mental health care, and identifying the root causes of addiction. Sober living is what comes next: a structured home where you put recovery and life skills into daily practice while easing back into the world with accountability and community.
What are the house rules?
Rules keep everyone safe and accountable: curfews, weekly meeting attendance, shared chores, agreement to drug testing, and active participation in work, school, or outpatient treatment.
What standards does the home hold?
Always Forward is a safe, drug-free home with clear house rules, routine testing, a live-in house manager, and consistent accountability. We run it to a high standard and are glad to walk you through exactly how the home operates.
Who is eligible to live at Always Forward?
Adult men committed to sobriety who agree to follow house rules and take part in the community. Reach out, and we'll talk through your situation.
How long can someone stay?
It varies by person. Most residents stay between three months and a year — long enough to build real stability — and some stay longer if they need more structure before independent living.
Do you accept pets?
Please contact us for more information about our current pet policy.
How much does it cost?
Rates vary depending on the type of accommodation and availability. We offer shared apartment-style living as well as private studio apartments for qualifying residents.
