Dear Bill,
I hope you are fine; I am well. I am delighted you are editing the “How are you?” book. I am unsure if the book is compatible with foreign reader culture. I greatly appreciate it if you honor me by writing an introduction for it. We are editing the Farsi version of the Little book, but we have printed the English version in numbers. Many individuals want to have a copy! It is a magnificent book created with your genius in writing. I think a second book (to complete the first one) can contribute to addiction recovery and treatment. Congress 60 goes into a two weeks summer holiday in 10 days. Everything will be at a halt for all members during this period. The running competition is over, and some official websites claim it to be one of a kind during the past century in my country. I hope this competition serves as a model for other sports fields to show everyone that the drug user will become a role model with proper treatment. Congress 60 members competed in 8 kilometers running a competition with professionals who couldn’t believe these were former addicts! I am sharing a short video streamed by our local tv. I know it is in Farsi, and you wouldn’t understand the words, but pictures say everything. Our other comparative research between 1000 NA and Congress 60 members is ongoing. We have gathered blood samples and will examine the gene expression and immunity system differences in both groups. The samples will be sent to Bristol University in England by Dr. Arvin. They have the best equipment to extract the data from the samples. Dear Bill, I only accept the results of molecular research so I can be sure, and also, in today's world, scientists accept research done at a molecular and cellular level worldwide. I believe filling out questionnaires for addiction and other illnesses is expired! Because we have the proper equipment to even study the psyche of a human being. This research was impossible ten years ago since we lacked the technology. My country is well equipped medically, but we lack some technologies. In England, they have the technology to study 18.000 genes simultaneously! Scientists welcomed our research since we are conducting them at a cellular and molecular level. This research will elaborate on why an NA member claims addiction has no cure while a Congress 60 member begs to differ!
I hope you enjoy your walks with Mrs. Rita. Extend my greetings to her.
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
