Use your Pocket Sponsor like you would a cell  phoneHow important is  your Recovery?


Ever wonder what would happen if you used your recovery material like you do the cell phone?

Take the Pocket Sponsor for example:

What if you carried it around in your purse or pocket all day?
What if you checked your recovery messages a couple times a day?
What if you turned back to go get your book if you forgot it?
What if you used it to enter numbers of your support group?
What if you treated it like you were lost without it?
What if you gave it to your recovering family as a gift?
What if you used it whenever you went out of town?
What if you used it in case of emergency?

Ask yourself if you place as much importance on your recovery as you do your cell phone? We guarantee you'll never get a dropped call with the Pocket Sponsor!!!

Beyond my wildest dreams.....


Hi Shelly -
 
A quick note. Six years ago, my now best friend wrote her number on one of those wooden tokens and it saved my life. Not only did it save my life, but I'm living a life that has surpassed even my wildness dreams and it started with that little wooden token. So thank you so much for distributing those the little wooden tokens.
 
Warm regards, Rinda

How to use this book

Who uses this great book?From

Read at the 'HALT' Moments


Although it has a message for every hour of every day, you need not read it every hour. it is meant to be read before retiring at night in the morning when you get up, and anytime during the day that you feel uneasy--pull out the sponsor in your pocket and get the support you need!

The great thing about this book is that you will continually discover new passages that are exactly what you need at that moment. Now you can carry a little bit of fellowship with you wherever you go.

Review from "Body, Mind, & Spirit"

The Pocket Sponsor


This little paperback became a big seller at Serenity by the Sea when author Shelly Marshall (also author of Day By Day: Young, Sober, & Free, and other popular recovery books) held a book signing. Shelly designed this book to be read at the HALT moments. This exceptional support book also has a phone list for the number of your sponsor and others in your recovery circle. Whether you are new to recovery or have more program time, Pocket Sponsor is a wonderful book filled with words of inspiration and hope. It's a must for people in recovery.

What People are saying about the Pocket Sponsor


From San Diego: I am so pleased to have found "The Pocket Sponsor".  So far I have passed on a copy to my sponsor, who carries it in his car, reading the appropriate time each time he gets in the car.  He thinks it is wonderful.  I also gave a copy to a newcomer that was having problems putting together 24 hours without a drink.  He reported today that he now has 60 hours without a drink with the help of "The Pocket Sponsor", and says it is just awesome.

Tonight I had been lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep I finally got up at about 1:30 AM and decided to do a little reading.  I picked up the Pocket Sponsor and read Day 20/1:00 AM.  How appropriate it was at this time.  Thank you very much.  I think I'll go back to bead now, pray and be able to sleep. Robert F,

From India: This pocket is just fantastic and at times I get my answers from it.I only forward the day I really learn something and not always. Lots of love, Satya B (From India)

From West Virginia: Dear Ms. Marshall, I am almost through the Pocket Sponsor and continue to be smitten by the bright cheerfulness. I told my wife (I hope you won't be offended) that I fell like I'm in a Step Aerobics class. At least in comparison with the laguorous Twenty-four hours a Day book. This is the only text that I have seen that can give the old chestnut a run for the money, and they lifted half of it from Bill W! Please send 10 more copies of the book. We will be giving them to out-of-town speakers at our lead meeting. John R, West Virginia

From Canada: Hi There, I think the pocket sponser is a very good thing..sometimes i read somethingin it that strikes me and I say to myself- that is so trrue...... Take Care, Bernadette From Canada

From Scottsdale, AZ: Shelly, I use the Pocket Sponsor with my patients at the treatment center. Here is a recent quote, from a letter written to the center, from a patient who completed treatment. "Dear Steve, I want to thank you for the extra help you gave me w/ the Pocket Sponsor." Thanks,  Steve  NI-COR (Network International-Coalition for On-line Resources)

From Poland: This Pocket Sponsor is probably the best thing I have in my inbox each day. I have had others daily things sent to my email, but none as good as this. Very practical, can be applied immediately and isn't full of jargon and holier then thou sayings. I love it!!! I'm very grateful I am getting them. Thank you! Take care, GB-U Tom in Poland

From Canada: Look forward to the pocket sponsor every morning when i get up,for you tostart my day off on a positive note. I pass it on to everyone on my address list. Keep passing on all of that great wake up info. It sure start's my day off on the right foot.I still don't know how you got my email address,but i sure am glad you did.Keep the great gift of hope coming. Your's in sobriety, Eddie (Canada)

From Maryland: Just a quick note of  "Thanks". You signed two of your "Pocket Sponsor" books for me during
CDA 's Serenity weekend in Rehoboth Beach a few months ago. I purchased one for myself and the other for my sponsor...two of my better investments! Please know how grateful I am for this handy , concise , thought provoker... Little did I know how often we would refer to that little volume!

Since that weekend, my sponsor has been diagnosed with a serious terminal illness. He is a man of great  faith who has been an invaluable beacon for countless addicts during his 23 years of recovery and is now unable to attend as many meetings as he would like. As a result he spends a good deal of time with periods of prayer, reading and meditation...Your book is one that he consistently mentions frequently as a source of inspiration during our times together. 

Having worked in the field of addictions for the past 20 years, I am well aware that we seldom know if our efforts have made a positive impact on others along this journey...I just wanted to let you know that YOU have definitely  been a source of help and inspiration for at least two of us!!  Many, many thanks!!! Brian. Maryland

Post Script
Hi Shelly, Just wanted to let you know that Ron R passed away last Thursday 9/11/03 using "The Pocket Sponsor" right to the end. What a tremendous void is being felt!  May God continue to bless your journey,   Brian

Dear Brian, I will always be humbled in knowing that my small part in helping to create the Pocket Sponsor gave any comfort, however small, to one of our CDA  members

What People write to Billy Bob about his column:

Hi Bill: I open my computer everyday and looking for your daily message “Pocket Sponsor” because I like very much the thoughts inside in. I think it is worth reading the texts because there are many positives ideas about the interior life and the better way of living. In general, Brazilian people have difficulty to understand your language. I passed it on for two or three friends who understand English. This is from Glauberio in Brazil
