I personally owe a lot to the http://www.aabacktobasics.org/ program. The dedication of this man to bring RECOVERY back to what it was and CAN be again is remarkable. The following email just sent to Wally P earlier today, I felt was significant and worth posting:
A quick note of encouragement and thanks for your program. I am an Al-Anon member who has gone through the 4 sessions 3 times so far. We are especially interested in how we spread it outside the world of common addiction and more specifically for those affected in relationship (we all qualify) regardless the type of problem the significant other has or none. We certainly all qualify as members of the fallen race and we all certainly need recovery. Presently we are doing the last (session 4) with 11 participants. The two ladies leading are Al-Anon ladies, two others of us are from Al-Anon and the balance from AA. It is going wonderfully!
Personally Wally, my life is Recovery and I have tried in a way to do my part through the Sharing The Burden and associated blog. Please visit follow us and comment as you wish:

If you read through some of my sharings you will see that I refer often to your Back To Basics program. I sincerely hope some have found you through it!
I will end with this thought for now Wally, that you would ponder this idea. We have in many cases used the 2-way prayer format as suggested but have expanded it with even greater results by suggesting 2 people do it together as follows: one (the leader) writes the concern out and does the praying for the other (with the CONCERN). The only job for the person being prayed over is to listen, observe, be aware and to report all verbally. The leader records and during quiet times prays again asking specifically what the recordings mean in reference to the CONCERN. Now more listening, writing clarifying and so on and so on.... Wally the results are overwhelming!
Let's stay connected bro!
