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.
June, 2011. Demetrius from Chattanooga, TN is doing an internship in the Bradford Health Care Services Department and wanted books for their young clients. "
This center is in need of resources to help young adults," he wrote. Thanks for caring, Demetrius!
Sept 2010. Lisa S from St Paul requested books for the center she works in St Joseph's Addition Med / Detox .
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!

uly 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.
August

INDIVIDUALS
WITH ADDITION PROBLEMS. " 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

May 2009.
From Dee, an employee of
The
Hope House in Crownsville MD, wrote, T
his
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

St. John of God Hospitality
Center in Victorville, CA for free books:

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!Read aboutNEW
