Caretaker Leo - there are way more recovery residences for men than there are for women, at least here in Toronto. Seems a little weird to me, but there you go, I guess there's more demand. I know a lot of guys who got into recovery residences pretty quickly too, but most of them were coming out of the shelter system, so that path was emergency shelter, short terms stabilization housing, when they were in treatment, longer term sober housing. It seems that like everything, once you're in they system things go a lot faster, than trying to get into the system in the first place.

But I'm not giving up hope.
