Things have been a little hectic and I was unable to blog last week. This week I’m combining two weeks to catch up. The highlight of last week is unrelated to the book. The highlight of my week was going on a retreat with 11 young people from Teen and Family Services. We all went on a retreat where we did a lot of step work and had some great fellowship. I’m so amazed at how mature and spiritually connected these teenagers are at such a young age. I was honored to be a part of a great weekend.

As for the book, I did a radio interview with Monty who is the host of www.take12radio.com It was an in-depth interview that lasted an hour and a half. I think the interview went well and I hope it generates some good “buzz” in the recovery community. I have been working on following up with radio interview opportunities, and opportunities to speak at churches. So far I have 4 radio interviews for January. The new year should be very busy and I’m excited about the prospects for 2010. Merry Christmas and I’ll be writing again in the first week of 2010.

Last week was an amazing week. I went to meet with the president of AACC www.aacc.net to do a 1 hour interview. The interview went very good and he felt like it was one of the best he had ever done. The interview will be burned to Cd’s and mailed to their 50,000 members nationwide. I am humbled and honored that AACC has decided to give me such amazing support and exposure. Not only do I know God is behind me, but the power of networking and relationships can never be underestimated. This relationship came about through the help of a good friend of mine here in Houston. Utilizing my network of friends and family has been instrumental. Tomorrow I will be doing a radio interview with Monty from www.take12radio.com He has about 55,000 listeners which could be huge for getting exposure for the book. This opportunity came from me sending emails to various radio stations in an effort to get awareness for the book. It’s going to be a busy and exciting week. Lot’s of praying and hard work.
