What a great aid to those in need and a tool for our counseling staff to be able to give to each new resident.

April 2007: Dawn R. nominated Timberline Knolls in Illinois. I just recently started supporting a newly organized OA meeting at this facility by attending meetings on Monday evenings. It is a treatment center for young girls/women from ages15-21. They are eating disorder sufferers besides suffering from alcohol and substance abuse. There is an AA meeting available to them as well. It is truly inspiring watching them open up to the suggestions of 12 Step recovery and I think it would be a wonderful resource to have this book on hand for them.

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

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

This book will surprise you and anyone who opens it to find the cures for alcoholism --it's blank inside!
Yeah, why? because we know there is no cure. After you stop laughing you can use this book as a recovery journal or a 5th step aid.
