In Loving memory of Janet Soto
January 2nd 1952 - August 15th 2010


My mother passing away was a shock to me and an untimely death. I don't have the ability to pay for her funeral costs because of my limited income. An added problem is that her body is in San Antonio, TX and I live in Spokane, WA. I don't even have the means to fly out to Texas to see her one last time. I would like to give her a proper burial and service. I am in urgent need of assistance to be able to make this happen and so I am starting this memorial fundraiser for my mother. Time is of the essence because she is at the mercy of the San Antonio Medical Examiners office. I contact them everyday to let them know that I'm working out arrangements for her. I know God will bless any amount you can donate. Please follow link: [link]
Thank you!

I reside in rockland county New York and we have a samll group of men and also a small womens group that meet on Sunday. i read some comments on the CR website and like to share some thoughts. There are two DPI publication one is called Some Sat in Darkness and the other Rejocie Always. I Highly recomend these books as a good guide for us alone with the Bible.
Furthermore The AA big book has a chaphter called to the wives which is a good guide.
As far as attending meetings AA as well as Al-alon
is good but just as the any meeting it best to exaime the scriptures asd well as the other books I mention to see if what you here at meetings agree with the writen word. Thank you so much for allowing me to share these thoughts with you.
I respect you all for you passion to recover and help others to recover as well. Vic

Hi. I'm a disciple from the Indian Church of Christ, Mumbai. My husband is an alcoholic. We got married in the church. Unfortunately, he never got over his drinking problem. We were both serving in the ministry. We were asked to step down once it was discovered. He was soon asked to take a 'break' from Church. Two months ago, he decided to quit, but went through a bad withdrawl. This followed with hospitalization and now he is in rehab. I've learned since then that I've been a codependent. However, some of things I've learned at Al-Anon are not quite biblical as they teach us to be selfish. Looking for friends who can really understand as out here we cannot get access to books and support groups.

Hope, I work with a group of women going through Codependency Recovery. We are starting the book Discover Joy by Dr. Joy Bodzioch. It doesn't deal with co-dependency directly, but many of the issues she addresses are related to issues we have as codependents. I believe that as we get our hearts right, God uses that to affect our husbands. Much love and prayer,



CR Graduations - Finish Line or Milestone?
CR GraduationsRecently, on Easter Sunday, I heard a minister preach that,  for the Christian, death is a beginning, not an end. As a happy consequence of the victory Jesus won over death, we who are in him will also partake in everlasting life. This message of hope, and the viewing of what seems like an end for the beginning that it really is, is one those of us in recovery will do well to embrace as it pertains to our sobriety.

The Chemical Recovery ministry had for many years celebrated the end of ones participation in the CR groups through graduation ceremonies. The ceremonies marked a completion of the recovery program for the addict.

With so many graduates relapsing into drug use and/or regressing in other areas in their lives, I believe that God is showing us how much the aforementioned Easter message translates into a healthy understanding of sobriety.

The tradition of an Eternal Fellowship sprung from this experience and our conception of graduations, as recognizing ones maturity in recovery, has grown, so that our message now to the addict is that graduating in CR marks the beginning of a new journey.

This new journey is one where the addict now plays a duel role of growing further in his recovery while looking to play a greater role in the lives of the newcomer in recovery. Seeing graduations as a milestone, marking this new journey increases the likelihood that another Easter message will be realized in more people: the resurrection of dead lives, souls, spirits, churches, CR ministries and communities alike!
