Feb 2012. Journey Counseling Services (Loren E. Novak & Assoc.) we love when we can really make a difference. thank you Julie for nominating your center--we were truly touched. Julie wrote, We are the only treatment center in our county that continues to provide transportation for clients. While this is a losing proposition financially, it is what needs to be done, therefore, we have to cut back in other areas. We have no literature budget; staff bring in what they find by diligently looking at thrift stores." you ahve 10 Pocket Sponsor's coming.

We would like to nominate Healtheast St Josephs Addiction Med/ Detox treatment in St Paul, Mn We provide a large amount of people that have no insurance for Chemical Dependency so We talk a large amount of county fund people. We are Hospital Base and we have up to 32 pt's here at a time. We provide Opiates dependence, Alcohol, benzo, cocaine/ crack and others. The books are on their way Lisa.
August 2010, Cheryl P from Sullivan, IN asked for a contribution to The Luke House Sobriety-Living Center. I would like to see this center receive help with rec eiving books because it is a small town and they have needed a sobriety living center for quite some time, they opened in June 2010 and barely have the funds for any reading materials on sobriety. They are wonderful people and the residents there are so thirsty for the knowledge. We hope your clients like the books!
July 2010 Katie W. from Lexington, South Carolina wrote in for Palmetto Health Adolescent Recovery Center: I work at The Adolescent Recovery Center in South Carolina. We offer intensive outpatient treatment to 13-19 year olds, as well as family therapy twice a week. Our teen population is extremely hard to get through to as many have little to no support at home. The more resources we can give our clients, the better the chances of long-term recovery! We think so too, Katie. So yes, we are sending you 10 books!
May 2010: Brittany M from New York nominated the center she works at, The Turning Point in Poughkeepsie, New York. She wrote: Our in-patient chemical dependency rehab program has gone through a lot of changes in the last year. We were forced to close down our 100 bed facility and move to a much smaller 40 bed program. Staff is constantly turning over and I feel our program is in need of increased structure and stability. I have read your pocket sponsor book before and it has been a great asset for me and several of my patients. I think it would be wonderful for all of our patients to be able to learn and utilize your pocket sponsor. Our program can not afford these necessary supplies. My supervisor Carole Rumble has gone above and beyond and purchased 300 of your pocket sponsor key chains with her own money for our patients and they love them! We want to see our program grow and become an amazing place for recovery once again. I am hoping you will consider The Turning Point in your give away! Thank you so much! Brittany, I'm sure your clients will benefit from your efforts to bring them the best! The books are on their way.
February 2010: Shelley F. is the director of Tri County Treatment Outpatient in Orville, CA and writes, "We are a small program from a poor county. I buy most of the Items I have here and this book would be great for all of my clients... ", Shelley, you don't have to buy these. We hope this helps.
January 2010: Jill H is an emploee of the Prince William County Community Services/SA Division, Manasis, VA, she worte: We provide treatment to both adult men and women who have no other treatment options available to them. Most are unemployed, alot are homeless, often do not have transportation to get to meetings in the area. Linkage with recovery programs is essential but many barriers prevent that essential connection. Any way we can bring the message to them will help get them into recovery or help them sustain their recovery. We are county and state funded but aids like this are considered extravagence by administrators. Often staff pay for these types of things out of their own pockets for distribution to our clients. Any assistance would be a godsend. And Jill, the work you do is a godsend to Alcoholics everywhere!
October 2009 Tina R works for Comprehensive Community Services in TN. She writes: This center provides care to individuals, ages 12 to adults, that have alcohol or drug dependencies. This center takes the uninsured into their facility and provides the care that they need. We think they can use some Pocket Sponsors, Tina!
September 2009: Saundra D wrote in from Escondido Community Sobering Services in Escondido California, she write: I have been working in this field for ten years and I ahve seen growth in participants and staff. Recovery is a lifetime achievemnet and we all have a tough hill to climb. To be working with such a diverse population and see how many times an individuals struggle so hard with relapse and to see them finally get a handle on the root cause of their problems. This helps them to transend into the next phase. to see that light in their eyes, or when someone calls and says thank you for praying for me and they are still sober.... this is what recovery is about and they go out and in turn help someone else, paying it forward!!! This centeris a home for so many people including myself. Sandra, you won 10 Pocket Sponsors for your center.

" Rebecca--what you don't ow is that I used to go to school in Crestline! YES--you can have the books for a town I have very fond childhood memories of!
May 2009. From Dee, an employee of The Hope House in Crownsville MD, wrote, This treatment center helps hundreds of people annually. The patients who come into the center are usually in desperate need of treatment and literature such as "Day by Day" and the "Pocket Sponsors" are great tools for the newly sober as well as all in recovery. This Center has little funding and would be very appreciative of this literature. I know that the Executive Director of this facility would be most grateful for this literature.." Dee, we are glad to hlep!
March 2009. From Gaye L, the service rep fro an AA group and an NA group in Hallowell Maine. tho' rich in our desire to stay clean and sober one day at a time..and we are blessed with a few members, rich in recovery, and i'd like my co.addicts to read and learn how to stay clean and sober yet another day, one day at a time..i been receiving these daily reflection type readings from a wonderful recovering woman friend of mine, and i believe my two meetings here in hallowell would get alot out of them also.i'm learning that by sharing the message, sharing my experience, strength and hope, not only keeps me sane and clean, but helps another still suffering addict to achieve sobriety.i hope you can help us here, and donate a few of your literature for us to learn fromsincerely,gaye l.
Feb 2009: Brooke B Nominated St. John of God Hospitality Center in Victorville, CA for free books: This center is way under budget and the Counselors there work so hard to accomidate all the clients. They are the people who helped be build my foundation and could use some recovery books to help others better their Recovery.. Congradulations!
Dec-2008 Merry Christmas to Panorama Ranch in California.
They received 40 Pocket Sponsors for their center in Joshua Tree California. Many people submitted their name for this month's donation.September 2008: My name is Elizabeth B. and I would like to nominate Nyack Hospital Recovery Center in Nyack NY. I am a case manager there and I know that the patients there would benefit from having these books to guide them and give them hope while they transition into a life of recovery. We are a 20 bed inpatient facility including 8 detoxification beds. When our patients arrive they are understandably scared and confused. Having literature and books to read in their private time, sending words of hope, where they can absorb and internalize privately would make all the difference. I firmly believe that those coming in from the dark world they once knew deserve to see the light of the one that awaits them. I know, because books such as these helped me many years ago. Thank You for considering Nyack Hospital Recovery Center to be the recipients of The Pocket Sponsor. Elizabeth--we not only considered your center, we sent your books!
February 2008 Alisa S.,from Orca House in Cleveland, OH just finished treatment: I've just completed a 30 day treatment program at Orca House for Women. When I arrived at Orca, I was depressed, full of shame, hurt, fear and despair. My counselor, Ms. Sylvia welcomed me with open arms. She immediately started counseling me with written exercises that helped me get through my feelings of shame and guilt. It was as if she looked right through to my heart and seen exactly what was needed to help me heal. I would like to nominate Orca House for the free pocket sponsors. Due to the high transition of women in Orca House and low funding, they are in great need of meditation materials. Alisa--you are doing great! And nominating Orca is a form of service--you have just scored 10 books for your treatment center.
January 2008 Jerry B. of Baptist Behavioral Healthcare in Union City, TN wrote in: I would like to nominate Baptist Behavioral Healthcare to receive a copy of Pocket Sponsor. This facility has a wonderful staff that always go above and beyond their requirements to help carry the message. I know this book would be a great asset to the patients. It would give them something to think about in between groups, when the disease is working to disqualify them from being there. Jerry, we agree with you that the Pocket Sponsor would be a great asset but we are not sending one book, you got them 10!
