Communications of Hossein and Bill ((Reply to Hossein - May 9, 2023)

May 9, 2023 
Dear Hossein, 
I am pleased to hear that you are doing fine; my recovery from the heart procedures is continuing and I am feeling renewed energy and commitment to our continued collaborations. We have both faced serious health challenges and transcended them with renewed humility and gratitude and a renewed urgency regarding our shared cause.  I appreciate your sharing the results of the latest research you are doing in collaboration with Bristol University. If you email me the articles as they are published, I will be happy to share them with research scientists and medical practitioners in the U.S. and in other countries. It is fortunate that breakthroughs in medical technology now make such research possible.  Do send along photos of the shawl ceremony for the newcomers co-guides. I find these image very inspiring. They convey far more than words the vitality of Congress 60’s culture of recovery.  I have made the corrections to the book draft that you requested and have created a final PDF that we can post on my website. Let me know when you would like that done. We can do it now or we can wait and post it at the same time the Farsi/English version of the book is released in Iran. Just let me know your preference. Once I have posted the book, I will prepare an announcement that will go our to various addiction treatment organizations and addiction professionals in the U.S. and in other countries. I think the release of this book will spark renewed international interest in the methods of Congress 60 and in your other writings.  One of the areas addressed in this book is the importance of financial independence and sustainability of recovery community organizations. In the U.S., some organizations have taken outside money that has altered their philosophy and methods. After some years, their founding missions is no longer recognizable and there is more focus on catering to outside financial interests than on the delivery of recovery support services. You have been very wise in protecting Congress 60 from such potential mission corruption. Money is important to sustain the work we are doing, but as you note we must avoid taking money that changes the song we sing.  In your next communication, please let me know the progress on the university construction. Is there a projected date of completion of the construction? 
Please extend my warmest regards to your family and to all members of Congress 60. 
Friends and Brothers Forever
