Love, Love, Looooove this magazine!!! I have been reading it since I got sober back in July or 09. I look forward to it each month! Thank you for providing this...RECOVERY IS AWESOME!!!
Comments: Stumbled Upon your website yesterday. It's like Christmas in March! Love it. Absolutely love it. I work with substance abusing/addicted parents involved with Child Welfare, at Child Welfare as a certified couselor with the Addiction Recovery Team (ART). I'm always cruising the net looking for good stuff for clients and co-workers. I think I hit the Mother Lode with this one!
Comments: Just found Journey. WIll spend some time going through your site. I work with Project GHB and we deal with GHB addiction. Unfortunately very few treatment centers or counselors are aware that GHB involves a severe and prolonged medical detox (not cold turkey) and we struggle to get real help for people through our GHB addiction helpline. We've worked with more than 3,000 GHB addicts in 20 countries. We are trying hard to get the detox protocol info out there. And we work to get the addicts to follow through with counseling and ongoing support. They are a unique and unrecognized group. While their issues are the same as all addicts in terms of chemical dependence and what it takes to recover and stay off of it, the detox is such a crucial moment and true medical help is needed.

Comments: Very cool site. Love the Magazine!
Comments: I read the story by DyceK in this months publication adn was emotionally lead through his life and found his writing to be honest and forgiving. Love is the word I will use to describe the way I feel when I read this article. Hope all is well and keep up the great workd. Sean Dearborn
Comments: Hi Karen, Thank you for your vote of confidence. Unfortunately, Journey can not afford to pay for artwork (we have readers submit artwork, poems & prose for our column 'Prose Posse' that we select from to publish each issue. While It's all in the Journey pays for itself - it does not make a profit; we struggle every issue to sell enough ads to get an issue out - and always a God shot in the form of a final advertiser needed calls at the last minute! If it weren't for the generosity of addiction pioneer Terence T. Gorski, renowned recovery comedian Mark Lundholm, eating disorder specialist Dr. Kimberly Dennis, addiction counselor Val Elsbree & my sponsor Dyce Kimura - who write the columns 'Personal Perspective', 'First Thought Wrong!', 'Food Fight', 'Peeling the Onion', and 'God & the 12 Steps' - all at no charge - we definitely wouldn't break even - it's because of these incredible people who I am blessed to be able to call my friends (and our incredible advertisers - everyone should call one or two & thank them for supporting Journey), we wouldn't be able to send out 21,000 copies for free each issue. They are definitely a God shot! Charlie G.
Comments: I am a greenhorn when it comes to computers. I am however, an accomlished Recovery Doodle Artist and I am also a writer. I draw emotions and put stories to them to explain my feelings. I have quite a collection of prints on my website. My number one goal is to help people in recovery. My number two goal is to make some money to keep myself in supplies so I can continue to share my recovery doodles to the masses. I would be interested in talking with you about perhaps a regular item in your magazine, using my art and my words. Please take a look at http://www.ArtToRecovery.com and you will understand what I'm speaking of. I had great difficulty registering on this site. It's probably my ignorance of the process, but, in any event, I hope this message gets to someone who can evaluate the idea and get back to me. Thank you for your attention. Have a Blessed Day. Karen Mock, ArtToRecovery.
Comments: Charlie it looks like you have done it again. Those God shots just keep on coming!! Most of them bring tears to my eyes. I just can't get enough! I so want to have Grapevine Valley Hope advertise in IAITJ! I use it so often when I need referrals in other states or cities! Thank you Charlie for listening when God called your name!!
Comments: Dear Cindy, My bad! We lowered the cost of subscriptions to $35 for 6 months & $60 for one year so people who are not in the states we currently go to (over 21,000 copies a month go to over 1,000 facilities, 800 AA & NA clubhouses and to over 2,000 refering addiction professionals & EAP's in CA., FL., TX., TN., Co., NY., NJ., Pa & a few others) could receive Journey at an affordable cost, and we could still be able to pay for the extra printing and mailing (99% of Journey magazines are free - it pays for itself through advertiers, but rigorious honesty? It just does. Every issue that makes it to print is a God shot - and it's made it for 3 years now! But, with subscriptions we can't use our bulk mail permits & the cost is necessary for mailing the magazine outside of the areas we send large amounts to. When we lowered the cost, my IT guy did not change it on PayPal, though he changed the buttons on our website. He is fixing it as I type. Thanks for the heads up. Charlie G. PS - For those who do not receive it, and can not or do not want to buy a subscription; you can download & read it on the website for free. (But if you can - SUBSCRIBE!  We could use all we get!peace Charlie
Comments: Dear Charlie and Gang, Although I haven't seen a hard copy of the magazine, I love what I have read on-line. Have been sober 38 years and worked in the field for more than 35 years and have seen lots of recovery magazines come and go over the years. I think yours is a keeper! It's great to see a magazine that's not full of psychobabble about addiction. One question ... why is there a huge difference in subscription prices when paying by check/mail and paying my PayPal (a full year is a $20 difference)? Thanks so much and God bless you, Cindy
Comments: In 19 yrs I haven't found a publication that encompasses all forms of addiction as well as this one thanks. Thanks for letting me read it online
Comments: Hi Bob, I'm Charlie G.; Founder & Editor of It's all in the Journey. Sorry you weren't impressed with our website - me personally? I LOVE IT; it's a God shot. As for your statement that you would NOT shell out 30 clams for a magazine you haven't seen; it's actually 35 clams for a 6 month subscription. But, you can download and read every single issue here on the website for free. Just click the Journey name under the issue you want to read (red for flash or white for a PDF), give it a moment to download, then just point your cursor towards a page's corner, left click, and the page will flip and even give the sound effect of a page turning. Hold your left click down & as you move your mouse around, you can bend and move the page as if it was being held between your thumb & finger! It impressed me when we got that software. It's all in the Journey prints & distributes 21,000 copies each month that go (for free) to over 1,000 Detox & Treatment Centers, 800 AA & NA Clubhouses and to over 8,000 addiction professionals & EAP's across the country. Finally, as you'll see if you download an issue, some of our columnists include addiction pioneer Terrence Gorski, nationally renowned recovery comedian Mark Lundholm, eating disorder specialist Dr. Kimberly Dennis and Dye K. - who sponsored me through the steps and reintroduced me to God - has a column called 'God & the 12 Steps that is ... impressive! Our interviews have included everyone from Woodstock creator Artie Kornfeld to Richie Supra of Aerosmith to Miss America 2008 Kirsten Haglund to 2x Indy 500 winner Al Unser, Jr. to the U.S. Deputy Drug Czar (under President Bush), Dr. Bertha Madras and many, many more. Also, our on-line Detox & Treatment Directory lists EVERY facility in the country - over 10,000; so someone looking for help can find it anywhere. And with over 62,000 visitors to the site so far, and the directory being the #2 destination for visitors (Google Analytical); I believe we have helped people find treatment & the first step towards an inner peace that is beyond words. We don't have to live with the emptiness & the loneliness, the anger & the guilt, that no amount of drinking or drugging will satiate, Bob. I know. That's my daughter, Joy, sitting in the 'O' of JOURNEY on every cover. Joy was accidentally strangled in the footrest of a recliner chair in 1984 when she was 2 years old and suffered massive brain damage. In 1985 I made the decision that it would be better to let her die than exist as she was; on life support and in a chronic vegetative state for years. After that decision I tried EVERYTHING to stop the guilt, the pain, the anger, the loneliness & the emptiness inside of me. Nothing worked. Until I gave up, went to treatment, got a sponsor and worked the 12 steps. It saved my life and gave me something I never dreamed possible - an inner peace. I'd be happy to send you some copies of Journey if you send me your address to: editor@itsallinthejourney.com. And if you go to meetings & they don't receive Journey, I'd be happy to add them to our mailing list - they go to clubhouses in 24 packs and it's free. Read an issue or two - they may impress you, and e-mail me your address so I can send you some hard copies. peace Charlie G. PS - Also, our contact info is available on the website. It is in our media kit, which you can read or print out, but you're right - it could be more accessible. I
Comments: I ordered some stuff from Recovery Emporium and I got an advertisement for your mag. I am somewhat interested so I come to your website. I'm not impressed by your website... But I'm still somewhat interested in the mag. I'm NOT going to shell out 30 clams for a mag. that I haven't seen.... is there a way I can get a single issue? P.S. why don't you have any contact info?
Comments: Hello family, When I first ran across this magazine i already had about three years clean. I had went back to my treatment center to do some service and while waiting picked up the magazine of the table and began to read. I wuz truely amazed at the information given and shared for the recovery addict. I thought that the addict who may still be suffering or not had a great thing if they got thier hands on one of these magazines. I became intrigued by the story about Joy and the motivation behind the magazine. The great thing about recovery is that we share a common bond rather or not we know each other in the physical sense, its spiritual. I had tears or empathy and joy well up at the same time. I love the fact that i have family all over the world no matter where i go I have the opportunity to share and care the NA WAY. I am grounded in several fellowships AA/NA and CA. I am grateful for my Higher Power presenting this fellowship to me at 21, it has given me a life.THX from Miami
Comments: LOVE the magazine!!! I've been clean & sober since 7/23/05 via family intervention. Now I am blessed to work in Recovery as support staff/intake @ Recovery Centers of King County in Seattle! My only request for the magazine would be to have a way to email articles to friends/family/co workers directly from your site. And/or post the articles on Facebook we want to share directly from your site. This is a great discovery and I want to spread the word  !
Comments: Great pertinent articles from the experienced and the professional. I've been in recovery 10 years but never get tired of learning whats new and helping others. Your magazine cover art is fantastic. Keep up the good work. I've forwarded your site to many friends and professionals in the field.

Comments: How refreshing it is to find this website and to see the freedom which viewers are allowed in your guest book. I'm all for it. I am also stressing that the "journey" begins at the beginning. And the beginning is where A.A. really started. This means learning the Christian organizations like the rescue missions, YMCA, Salvation Army, and Young People's Christian Endeavor Society that were successfully practicing the Christian principles of recovery at the time A.A.'s two founders were receiving a Christian upbringing in the State of Vermont. The ideas were translated almost directly into the early A.A. Christian Fellowship founded in Akron in 1935. And they rested on the role that God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in the recovery movement. And can play today. For a real start-up, brief, and revealing account of the foundations, development, and changes in the early recovery movement, be sure to look into and obtain the new class--"Introductory Foundations for Christian Recovery." It is described and available on the website: http://www.dickb.com/IFCR-Class.com. |
