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,

The Accepted Dependency

Is dependency ever a good thing? Most would agree that dependency on drugs can certainly be an extremely destructive and debilitating condition but what about other dependencies? Gambling dependencies has led even the well off to poverty and extreme squander. Being dependent on the approval of the world makes even the believer impotent to do real good and stand up for what is right.

We can go on and on about how many forms of dependency we admit are bad, but there is a form of dependency that is becoming more acceptable even in the Christian community that is quite troubling. That dependency is a dependency on the government.

As a member of the “minority” community (born and raised in the South Bronx section of New York) I have seen many crippled and stifled in life by an ever growing sentiment that the government has a responsibility to pay ones rent, food and other expenses. Of late that responsibility has extended to paying ones medical bills and mortgages.

Millions who otherwise would be productive workers and contributors to society have now been relegated to childlike dependency on other people for their livelihood. This is not an exhaustive analysis of government dependency but rather a call to consider why we recognize so easily the detrimental effect of dependency in so many arenas but fail to see dependency on the government for how harmful it can be.

Those of us in recovery must be fearless in seeking the truth. We must recognize and address dependency as we strive to Totally Recovery from, not just using drugs and alcohol, but more importantly a corrupt and polluted way of thinking underlying our addiction.
