Our message to the newcomer is: all of us have tried to live in the same way as you are living now before we came to recovery, and after we joined recovery we found a better way to live, and we'd be only too glad to show how anyone can learn how to live that way. If you're willing to do what we have done we guarantee it will work for you and you too can have that better way to live. After we have received this message from recovery the choice then becomes ours, we can either trust this will work for us, or wander around aimlessly trying to find our own way. It makes more sense if we try doing what has already proved to have worked for those who have once lived how we are living now. It's important to know that once we trust and believe this will work for us we've already done the hardest part in finding that better life, and that's why we all came here in the first place to find a better way to live.
