If you are a woman seeking a life away from addiction, you may wish to consider sober living for women facilities. This kind of housing can help you prepare yourself for a new way of life. Here is additional information including some of the benefits.

Residential Location

A typical sobriety residence is located in a normal residential neighborhood. There could be a few residents or as many as thirty. If you choose to live in one of the homes you will be sharing a bedroom in a communal living environment. You are also required to pay rent every month. You will need to be gainfully employed if you are physically and mentally able.

Rules

When you are in a sobriety home, you must follow their rules to the letter. These places will not tolerate any kind of drug or alcohol on the premises and these substances can not be used by the residents, even when they are away from the facility. You also must get along with the other residents without serious conflict. Violators of these rules face penalties including eviction without notice.

Drug Testing

If you are a resident in a sobriety home you could be subject to random drug testing at any given time. There are house rules that you must abide by like adhering to curfews. These homes are not for someone in need of detox but they are for people who are in the process of changing their lives.

Learning Opportunity

Sober living for women facilities provide a learning experience for the people who live there. They get the chance to focus on and experience a life without drugs or alcohol. For many people, this is something entirely new in their lives and they will need help and support for these important life changes. Everyone in the house will be supportive and understanding to each other’s needs.

Recovery Programs

A sobriety facility promotes a life with no drugs or alcohol. The time you spend there is aimed at helping you with your young adult alcohol rehabilitation. If you need to talk to counselors, they will be available to you. You are expected to attend regular meetings with recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. This is usually a mandatory requirement. These facilities are a good place to learn how to function in a normal work and home schedule. For some residents, this will be an entirely new experience and requires adjustment.

Family and Friends

A sobriety residence lets a woman get back with family and friends who are a good influence in her life. It is important to stay away from friends that use drugs or alcohol as they may lure you back into a life of addiction. Your new residence will give you the time you need to make new friends and contacts.

Remember winter?

It’s finally about to start, folks.

The leading edge of the first in a series of storms is moving into Oregon and far Northern California this morning. This system will mainly affect the Cascades and the far Northern Sierra, where a few inches of snow are possible.

The next system is due Thursday and should reach Tahoe by Thursday afternoon.

Snow levels will start out around 7000 feet before falling Thursday night.

It looks like this wave has the potential to drop about six inches of snow on the higher elevations and an inch or two around the lake by Friday morning.

After a short lull, the biggest and warmest storm in this series is on track for a Friday arrival. Snow levels will likely rise again as the warm Pacific moisture plume pushes in ahead of the cold air from the north. At first we will probably see rain below about 7500 feet. But snow levels should drop by Saturday morning as the front moves through, and that should be soon enough to deposit several more inches of snow around the lake. Above 7500 or 8000 feet we should see a total of about two feet from these first two storms.

After another break a third storm is due on Sunday. The forecast models are still in conflict about the timing. Some models show the next storm arriving late Saturday or early Sunday, and others not until later on Sunday. Either way it will be the coldest of the bunch, and it looks like it has the potential to give us at least a foot of snow at Lake level and a bit more above the mountain passes.

Beyond that things are murkier. One forecast model shows a ridge of high pressure building and the start of a drying trend, while another leaves the storm door open for at least another day or two.

But for now let’s focus on what seems likely: at least two to three feet of snow above 8000 feet, with a foot or snow below the mountain passes. That might be a bit on the conservative side. But we don’t want to oversell this and be disappointed if the big snow totals fail to materialize.

Have fun. Be safe.

Stay tuned for more details as the week unfolds.
