Dear Hossein,
Thank you for your latest communication. I had anticipated some delay in hearing from you in response to the beginning of Ramadan and all the related Congress 60 activities. I am delighted you are well.
I share your hope of extending the heroin research to alcohol. It is important to keep this work moving forward in spite of all the contextual obstacles that can interfere with such progress.
Regarding our latest published article, the abstract is now online but I have not yet received the PDF that I can share with you. The link to the abstract is: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/07347324.2617255/10,1080
The journal is published quarterly so the article may appear in the Spring 2026 issue. These delays are expected, particularly in a journal publishing only four issues per year. I do know that Dr. Sarapas and Candace Mouton are continuing their data analysis and writing up results for the second paper in this series. Completing this will be a major accomplishment for all of us this year.
Thank you for the photos of the new book release. What an important milestone this is in the history of Congress 60—a further step in extending recovery support for addiction recovery to the achievement of global health and personal/family/community flourishing. I hope the book will continue to receive high praise and wide distribution.
In my own latest work, an agreement is near to co-publish (Chestnut Health Systems and Harvard’s Recovery Research Institute) my monograph on flourishing within the experience of addiction recovery. The monograph is about 100 pages—shorter than a book but much more in depth and longer than a traditional journal article. I hope to have it released late this Spring—posted as a free PDF on multiple websites with a shortened version that I will publish as an article.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
