I hope you are fine, I am well.
3 years ago when I celebrated my 14th anniversary of addiction redemption I told travelers in order to prevent celebration troubles for them and for myself, i won’t have any celebration until my 20th anniversary.
Last week i was walking toward physician’s legion that they notified me they are celebrating my second anniversary of smoking cessation at William White legion. My second smoking cessation anniversary is on same date as my 17th addiction redemption anniversary is.
Therefore i went toward your legion. I figured that Ehsan and others contacted you and got a message from you for the celebration. They were printed your message on a plate which was read at the legion. I enjoyed your message so much it was such an honor for me and your message will last forever as a souvenir.
I hope that you could help your dear mother at Illinois, serving and respecting parents in our culture has a great value. I believe those who are enriched in culture and wisdom always respect and serve their parents. I wish for your mother’s health.
Last week 10 travelers finished the smoking cessation period, I must say the scale of those who smoke is dramatically decreasing since William White legions started functioning.
Last part of the questionaries is completed and will be sent to you by Dr.Daneshmand soon.
Dear Bill, as you mentioned in US and UK and perhaps all over the world addiction treatment is polarized. Some believe in medication based treatment and others believe in psychosocial treatment and support. This is like that some believe that brain is important and others claim that brain is not prime and the heart is important. I do believe addiction treatment is like a human being who needs brain, heart, lungs, blood and etc. and the person will lack humanity and he won’t be able to continue living if any of these organs is missing.
Anyway, one day humanity will understand not only the true approach in addiction treatment but correct intervention of many other illnesses.
Tehran’s weather is sunny and pollution has decreased. last weak I went to the farm and I brought some fresh milk and some fresh cheese.

Dear Hossein,
It was a great pleasure for me to participate in the anniversary celebration of your smoking cessation and I appreciated the photo that Ehsan sent me from the event. My heart soars when I think of all that has flowered as a result of this decision you made. Think of the years of life and the quality of life that have been added to members of Congress 60 who have followed your example.
Rita and I have just returned from our trip to Illinois to visit my mother. Her health is doing much better following her hospitalization and her move to an assisted living facility where she will likely remain through the winter months. I so enjoyed my time visiting her and visiting my sisters and their families. At age 92, my mother’s mind and memory remain very sharp so it was a real pleasure to hear more stories of her life. I also enjoyed many pleasant hours reading during this trip. The weather in Illinois was cold and grey so I am delighted to be back in the warmth and sunshine of Florida.
I look forward to the remaining data from Dr. Daneshmand. My hope is to begin working to write up our study next month while the data is being analyzed by my research assistant.
Please extend my congratulations to the members of the rugby team and my best wishes to the wrestling team on their coming competition.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill
