Dear Bill,
I hope you are fine, I am well.
Thank you for your email. The tree planting ceremony has become very strong within Congress 60 and, this year average 300 individuals in each branch participated in this ceremony. I think in Tehran 4500 sapling where planted. This is an obligation that I have designed for all second travelers of Congress 60. They must plant at least 1 tree each year and keep it safe. If this movement spread to recovery communities of the US and other parts of the globe then we will get better results.
I believe this is an obligation for all the residents of planet earth to plant a tree each year and this movement can contribute to prevention of global warming.
You asked about the factors that can contribute to sudden surges in recovery initiation.
I believe the only thing that can create such surges is true knowledge about addiction, just like what I did within Congress 60 and Iran.
We will not be able to take huge steps toward this goal unless we accept that addiction is replacement of narcotics instead of endogenous opioids of the body.
Dear Bill, A false belief is prevailing among addicts that addiction is incurable, addicts are born addicts and they will die as addicts or addiction is a mysterious, incurable and progressive illness; and we must break this belief.
Unfortunately this wrong belief is blocking the true addiction treatment and recovery like Himalaya mountains.
Last Wednesday we had 165 addiction redemption and out of this number 30 individuals where William White legion members.
These individuals who reach addiction redemption are feeling normal and let me say that they are even better than normal people in regards of behavior and psychological reactions.
The craving or desire to use drugs has been omitted above 90% within them.
Anyway the first step is to categorize addicts as below:
a. Employed addicts or employed alcoholics. They have a job and they have no financial issues.
b. Unemployed addicts, these people have a place to live but they have no jobs.
c. Homeless addicts and hardcore addicts.
Just like what you said it is better to try and reach drug abusers within communities and introduce them to treatment programs via trained people in recovery. I believe this will be efficient.
We must pay attention to connect each drug abusers to a suitable group for instance an employed drug abuser should not be in the same group with a homeless drugs abuser since their treatment methods will differ.
I am totally agreed with what you said about checkups since we are doing this and we have seen the great results.
All of our members must take urine test in milestones of 14 days, 6 months and 1 year after treatment compilation.
The results of our recent study has been tremendous and I will share it with you after it is officially published.
The results has been sent to all the universities and research centers since it was unbelievable.
Comparing of Congress 60 with the book that you are reading about “radical hope” made me happy. I am very interested in native Americans’ believes and ideas.
I do hope that you enjoy the baseball season in since you spoke about sports let me mention that Congress 60’s rugby team became second in the current season.
Dear friend, now that I am writing this email 2 days remains to the offset of spring.
Congress 60 goes into 14 days of holiday, therefore our communications will be limited.
Extend my greetings to Mrs. Rita.
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
