Attention to all riders of the Sober Bus:
I got a piece of good news in the mail from Trach today, and he wanted me to pass it on.
After his initial tough detox from both alcohol and nicotine, he is doing very well now and really, really likes both his center and the treatment.
He has six classes a day that focus on recovery and personal development, and one that is faith-based (I don't think Trach was particularly faith-based when he went in, but he is very grateful and receptive to every bit of help he can get--and there appears to be a lot at this place of every kind). He has five counselors/advisors.
It sounds like a really well-rounded place: they have hiking, fishing, sports, church and Bible study for believers, and plenty of personal space to get alone and think. He says that he is fed well: three meals a day plus snacks.
For continuing residents in their fifth month who are doing well, there is a jobs program--and with, if I understand him correctly, comes transitional housing, which is quite inexpensive.
Currently he is blessed to have a really cool roommate.
He seems very pleased to be exactly where he is.
Keep the postcards rolling in: both he and his roommate are really encouraged by them.

Congrats Ringo!
Remember, I am not that far away. We could meet for lunch or dinner instead of drinking.

Thanks Leigh ~ That would be fun! 
Thanks Gilmer for the update on Trach and the address....I should send him a note....
Well it's that time of year! Shall we all go see a spooky movie? Each year for Halloween, one of the local theaters does a special screening of a classic horror film ~ a couple years ago I went to see my favorite: "The Shining" ~ it was so cool to watch it on the big screen!

Lots of good things on the Sober Bus.
Many thanks for the Dale/Trachemys update Gilmer. I'm chuffed to bits that he is doing well.
32 years sober is stellar Ringo, huge congratulations to you.
Great to see you Purplrcks!
Leigh, Dragon, fingers crossed you will both be out of sick bay soon.
