Words you can text SHOR

Four words, any time, to 267-394-6444. Capitals don't matter. SHOR tells you the rest when it's time.

`SAY`

The words for a moment that's close. Reply with a number and SHOR sends the line that fits.

1 Money ask
2 Came home high
3 No word in days
4 Something good
5 Family gathering
6 Craving
7 Wants to leave treatment
8 Inviting them in
- 1 One meeting with me
- 2 Someone to talk to
- 3 Just a visit

`HELP`

What SHOR is, and how to reach a person.

`OPEN`

Practice. Pick a unit by number. SHOR sends the line, you text back your version. No grades.

1 Not arguing tonight
2 The ask for cash
3 The late call
4 Rules at home
5 After a slip
6 The third try

If you told SHOR they're in early recovery, the first three are different: 1 The question. 2 Giving things back. 3 When they're flat.

`READY`

They've said they want help. SHOR sends you the number to call and one line to say when someone picks up. If a treatment center gave you your code, it's their admissions line.

S, H, O, R. That's the whole list. Anything else SHOR needs from you, it asks for at the time.

When SHOR asks you something

1 to 4The 7:30 PM check-in. 1 rough, 2 not great, 3 okay, 4 good. Only SHOR sees it.

Plain words work too. "Please stop texting me" stops the texts the same as STOP.

If tonight is bad

There's no keyword for a crisis, and nobody is reading these texts live. Call or text 988. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you text SHOR something that sounds like a crisis, you get one reply that says the same thing.
