Hello Greetings. My name is Bianka Simpson, I went to your website because it has been on my heart to volunteer. I am an avid reader and I find great enjoyment in this hobby .I am a Licensed Evangelist Missionarry I am the Leader of a Book Reading Group that was instituted at my church and in this group emotional healing went forth and empowerment not only is literacy so important in every aspect. I also found that it is an absolute life saver. I would love to share this gift with the women in your shelter by providing the books for those that may not be able to get to the library or may not be able to go out to purchase the books. We would meet once a month and have a discussion on the book of the month the Last Friday of each month and I would also provide refreshements. I was once a single mom working homeless so I have a mandate to give back. I have been very blessed but I will never forget nor will I let my daughter forget what we have overcome. If this seems like a program that would benefit the women in your Shelter please feel free to call me on my direct line at work 310 816 9244 or by cell 323 348 7289 BIANKA BAILEY SIMPSON EOL Ocean Inbound Gateway UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc.

Subject: quitting alcohol

I have a question: after many years of evening drinking, my husband is quitting alcohol. He's down to one glass of wine before bed, which he drinks, because he says he constantly jumps partially awake for about 3 hours after he goes to bed. It wakes me up too. Is there some other way, besides a glass of alcohol, to help him to sleep without the "twitchies"? If you could post an answer with my name in the subject line, I will be checking back. thank you

The men who are in transitional housing programs such as the HOPWA house in Long Beach and Positive Steps in Downey are not in a primary drug program. They are much more free to come and go. In the Federal CSAT program who follow the same regulations i.e. Cider House, Foley House etc. these programs will not allow clients to have cell phones in primary treament. Once the client transitions to a clean and sober program, then cell phones are allowed. I'm sorry it seems unfair.

I have a consern about the women at your Positive Steps program in Downey. It seems as though they are being discriminted agenced. The male in the program are allowed more privalliges then the women. One concern is the fact that the women are not aload cell phones and have to use a payphone, yet the men are aload cell phones and have a house phone that they are able to use. I use to be a client at Positive Steps now I have graduated sucessfully. I just know how expensive it is to be calling using that payphone. And I never got the point of that rule it seems wrong.
