TLC Attitudes of Gratitude: Transitional living available to those in need By Lynn Whitlow We are very grateful to have transi tional living for Siletz Tribal members and others who have demonstrated they are serious in their recovery by complet ing alcohol and drug inpatient treatment. Completing an inpatient program is just another beginning - an opportunity to strengthen self and practice skills learned in treatment. So many folks who complete treat ment have no safe, clean environment to go to. If they return to the location they were at before treatment, chance of relapse is extremely high. Even those in recovery for several years can self sabotage themselves if given the right set of circumstances. If you or a loved one are thinking about seeking inpatient treatment, keep in mind that upon successful completion, there is a safe place for you to be. Call 541 -444-8238,541 -444-8286 or 800-600-5599; talk to me or Janet. Go pick a big fat pumpkin and make a fearsome face, rake a pile of leaves but don’t dive into it (personal experience - whump! hard landing). Drink a quart of apple cider and if you get the opportunity, attend a cider pressing. Nothing like immediately fresh juice! Above all, be grateful for life.
