After spending so many weeks or months in recovery, you may be nearing the time for you to be discharged from your inpatient program.  The idea of going back into society and resuming your former life can be scary.  You do not want to relapse and start using drugs or alcohol again.

Rather than send you out into society where you could risk relapsing, your program’s coordinators might instead arrange for you to take part in some sort of outpatient or continued recovery program.  By entering an outpatient program, continued recovery outreach, or transitional house in washington dc,  you can gradually reenter society and use your skills to avoid the urge to start using drugs or alcohol again.

Understanding the House Rules

Just as when you were in inpatient care, you will have rules that you must follow as a house resident.  You will not be allowed to simply do whatever you want, which could increase your risk of relapsing.  You will have rules that you must abide by if you want to continue being a resident in the home. 

The first rule involves the length of your stay.  Most of these places allow residents to stay up to one year depending on their needs.  During that time, you are encouraged to find a job and start saving money to put toward a new place of your own once you leave the home.

You also will be required to abide by a curfew during your stay.  You cannot leave the home during certain hours of the overnight, which is when most people like to go to bars or meet up with friends to abuse substances. If you leave during those times, you forfeit your privilege of living in the home.

Finally, you will be expected to contribute to the home’s upkeep.  You may have chores assigned to you on a daily basis.  You also may need to help pay expenses like groceries if you want to continue living there.  These measures are designed to give you a sense of responsibility and accomplishment and also teach you how to live independently again. 

               

My kids had nice teeth in their younger years. By the moment their permanent teeth started to erupt and started loving "sweets", dental carries started to become an issue so as tooth decay and gum problems. 

This photo is one of the proofs:

My daughter Thea frequently complains about toothache and tomorrow she went home early from school because to terrible toothache. So, we decided to visit a dental clinic for consultation. We just found out the a number of teeth need to be extracted.  In fact, she had one of her molars (permanent) removed today. Two more teeth are scheduled for extraction on our next visit. I plan to continue her and Yohan's regular dental check-ups from now on.

When in a business that has a need for using pipes to transport hazardous or corrosive chemicals, one of the top things that companies use to help protect the pipes and make sure they stay strong is by lining them with rubber. 

Here are some of the benefits that a rubber lined pipe can provide to you and your business. 

1. One great thing about rubber lined pipes is that they are strong and are typically used on the straighter passages where rubber hose would simply not make sense. The pipe, since it is made of steel even though it is lined by rubber, does not need a brace and can simply support itself due to the fact that it is made from metal. 

2. Another benefit of using a rubber lined pipe is that the rubber protects the steel pipe from any damage caused by chemicals. While steel is quite strong, obviously, it is subject to corrosion and oxidation, especially when chemicals are involved. Rubber is also not subject to abrasion when certain substances are flowing through it. The rubber acts as the perfect barrier against any kind of damage that one may think may occur. 

3. The rubber also acts as a barrier from harmful chemicals leaking into the environment. This is a major concern in the United States, especially when the chemical may be deemed as hazardous waste. The rubber essentially makes everything airtight and very safe for almost anything to travel through. 

As you can see, there are some very wonderful benefits to choose using pipes there lined with rubber to protect them from corrosive damage. This is not only a great option for your company but virtually a necessity as well in making sure the equipment stays damage-free.

Gift baskets have become a popular trend for birthdays, holidays and milestones.

It shows your recipient how proud you are that they are starting their journey. The best part is the gift basket works for a variety of careers, such as an accountant, human resources, receptionist or principal.

Receiving A Promotion

Whether you are surprising a loved one or your favorite co-worker, a promotion is always a great reason to celebrate. Your peer has worked hard to move up in their field, and executive gift baskets full of gourmet snacks are enough to help anyone prepare for their next chapter. You are also showing your co-worker that you are in their corner as they move on to their new position.

Showing Appreciation At Work

My son Yohan celebrated his 8th birthday on November 4. He's been counting the days, weeks or even few months prior his special day hahaha. We planned to be make it more special this time since we were not able to celebrate his 7th birthday here for he stayed with my mom and sister in my hometown last year.  However, due to hectic schedule we're not able to push through with our Tagaytay trip. We went to SM Mall of Asia last Saturday instead.

We bought him and his Ate Thea some toys and then we had pizza and pasta at Sbarro. He also enjoyed in the kiddie rides inside the mall. We ought to try the theme park at SM By the Bay, but most of the attractions are closed, maybe because it was still a holiday. 

And, we had Chocolate Cake and Chicken Alfredo pasta on his birthday. 

Happy, happy birthday my dear Yohan Amiel. We wish you to be healthy always. Good luck and continue to bring laughter in the family, with all your witty remarks, jokes and funny antics.  We love you so much. Study hard and we are here to support you in your dreams and endeavors.
