The 10th session of the 1st round of public educational workshops for travelers and companions of Congress60 was held by guide-assistant Mr. Saeed as the guest speaker and Mr. Morteza as the master of ceremony and Mr. Esmaeel as the secretory in Baba Taher (Hamadan) branch. The agenda was " Opium Tincture: OT" on Thursday February, 4, 2018 at 16:00 p.m.
A summary of the guest speaker's speech:
First of all, I thank God for giving me again the opportunity to serve in one of branches of Congress60. I never imagine serving in this newly-founded branch, so I thank the master of ceremony and Mr. Alireza for this invitation.
Before starting my speech about the agenda, I like to mention some points with the permission of the master of ceremony. This is a new branch but when I entered here, I felt a special cordiality in this place and I recommend my friends to be confederate always to build this branch more coherent and steadier. The descendants of this city will appreciate the individuals who plant the seed of Congress60's fruitful tree in their city. You will be able to remove deficiencies with solidarity and cordiality. All cities of Iran do not have the opportunity to have a branch of Congress60 in them and again I congratulate you on the establishment of this branch.
Now about the agenda:
I had the responsibility for Opium Tincture department in Arak branch for 4-5 years. OT is a great divine and miraculous medicine, as Mr. Dezhakam has spoken about the glory of which time and again. I think it is not a drug and if this celestial medicine did not exist, [our] life would not continue. "OT" is an abbreviation for Opium Tincture. We must appreciate this medicine in Congress60. We must bow down before this medicine and we must touch it with respect. Because, we have destroyed our body using different anti-Xes (drugs, alcohol and pills) and "OT" was the unique medicine which helped us rehabilitate our body in the best way. Nobody dared to propound the treatment with OT until it was offered in Congress60. Todays, we must thank Mr. Dezhakam because of his struggles and attempts; and he counseled many people so that he could register this medicine for the first time. I have got this information when I was serving in OT department. Even there are many ways to abuse this medicine. In many clinics, the addicts can buy it very cheap as much as they want. But you must know that Congress60 is not going to abuse "OT". We must prove this matter.
If we follow the guide-assistants' instructions in detail, we will be successful in treatment project completely. There are many aspects and subjects about OT if we want to speak about it. In Congress60, a guide-assistant is like a sage. If a first traveler has refrained from their guide's instructions and has consumed whatever amount of drugs, they have to tell their guide-assistant and they are not permitted to change the amount of drug arbitrarily. If we want to finish our treatment process based on Congress60's schedule which lasts for 11 to 12 months, we have to consult with our guide-assistant about every event because guides act like a proficient doctor for the first journey travelers. If we want to visit a doctor, we have to pay [at least] about $12 but the guide-assistants don’t receive any money for drug treatment. In many aspects, the guide assistants' knowledge is more than doctors in curing drug-addiction.
Everybody who serves in every part of Congress60 serves themselves in fact. The people who serve in "OT" department in this branch must be a complete and dedicated model for posterity. We must value every 0/1 cc of "OT" and use it based on guide-assistants' instructions to prevent any problem and finish the journey (treatment period) and get liberated from addiction.
Also in this session, Mr. Esmaeel –one of travelers in Baba Taher branch- received his badge for six months [of liberation from addiction] from Mr. Ali -his guide-assistant. We congratulate him wholeheartedly.
