Pathways half way house Rochester, MN, Womens program
Good morning sports fans! Just woke up myself, haven't got out of bed yet. Keep my computer near my bed; not much room in here but plenty. I'd tell you where I am but that would compromise my real identity. Not sure why I'm leery about doing that but for now I'll just keep it as is. Pathways women's program, don't know a whole lot about it besides the fact that it's right across the parking lot from the men's program. The smoking areas for both houses face each other across the parking lot. One of the rules there is that you can not talk to the women clients and the women clients can't talk to the men clients (residents). If you do you will be discharged, no exceptions. While I was there one of the younger guys there got narced on for talking to one of the girls at an AA meeting and they both ended up being discharged (kicked out). When they kick you out they give you like two hours to get your stuff and leave or they'll call the police to haul your ass out. Nice folks, huh? Assholes! You have to go to three AA meeting a week and there are several within walking distance of the houses and you always run into women from the other house but don't even say hello to them or you're out. Seems like there's always some kiss ass in the group that'll go running to the staff to get some brownie points. First night I was in Pathways one of the guys there tried to hang himself! That was OK, not against the rules I mean. He got a trip to the Mayo psych ward for a few days and then readmitted to The Pathways to hell. Anyway, just thought I'd mention the womens program and the fact that they're in the same boat. Cheers!
