Communications of Hossein and Bill (Reply to Hossein - Jun 19, 2017)

Jun 19, 2017

Dear Hossein,

Pardon my brevity today.  Rita and I are packing for our trip to Illinois for Alisha’s wedding, but I wanted to respond to your latest communication before leaving.

Thank you for describing how the clinics came to understand and adopt the methods used in Congress 60. I’m sure the physicians’ legion contributed greatly to this progress.  In the U.S., we have meetings of NGOs and meetings of addiction medicine specialists but very few settings in which the two groups meet together to share knowledge.

I am particularly pleased to hear that some of the clinics cooperating with Congress 60 have started their own legions.  Are any of the clinics involving their members in sports, the arts, and community service similar to Congress 60?  I consider the latter to be essential to  the strong recovery culture within Congress 60 that is quite unique in my experience.

As I learn more about the methods of Congress 60, I will do all I can to spread what I am learning from you to others through my writing and other communications.

At present, my latest interests are how to reach and help people initiate recovery earlier in the addiction cycle and how to support recovery stability after the period of early recovery initiation.  I would welcome your thoughts on these two critical questions.

I will write in greater length when I return from Alisha’s wedding.  While there we will also be able to visit my 94-year old mother and my sisters and their families. 

 

Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
