 Since
1997, the Back to Basics Foundation has been carrying Dr. Bob’s
“keep it simple” message of recovery to the Twelve-Step
community through the Back to Basics program.
To date more than 150,000 people have taken the Twelve
Steps in the more than 1,200 Back to Basics Beginners’ Meetings
and Groups that have started up throughout the world. We are most grateful for this opportunity to be of service to
the recovery community.
We
are a 501 (C) (3), not-for-profit, corporation.
We have no paid employees.
Donations help us carry the message of the Twelve-Step
pioneers to those who are still in need.
The
following is a partial list of the projects the Back to Basics
Foundation is working on
-
Back to Basics Book-- Second Edition /
Eight Printing--Run Number 2: We will need
money by October 1, 2006 to reprint the 2nd Edition / 8th
Printing of the Back to Basics book.
-
Back
to Basics--German Translation:
The Back
to Basics book has been translated into German
and is ready to be published and distributed within the German recovery community.
A portion of the books will be distributed, at no
charge, to those who cannot afford to buy them.
-
Back to Basics 101--An Introduction to the Twelve Steps:
This is a 80-minute DVD of the Wally P. "chalk
talk" on the Twelve Steps of recovery.
During this “meeting,” Wally takes a “newcomer”
through all Twelve Steps as they were taken during the early
days of Alcoholics Anonymous.
On May 7, 2005, we filmed a demonstration version of
Back to Basics 101 at the Crossroads, Inc. treatment center in
Phoenix, AZ. We
are ready to record, edit, produce and distribute this very
powerful, life-changing presentation.
-
Back
to Basics for Correctional Facilities:
On October 27-28, 2003, we video-taped the Back to
Basics program at the Henrico County Jail in Barhamsville, VA.
We used three mini-DVD cameras to record interviews
with the warden, the director of mental health, officers and
guards, male and female inmates who were in the Back to Basics
program, and “alumni” of the program who returned to the
prison on a regular basis to help the “newcomers.”
The Bask to Basics program has reduced the recidivism
rate at this facility from 70% to 15%, saving the public
millions of dollars per year.
We are ready to edit, produce and dis-tribute this DVD
to correctional facilities throughout the U.S.
