Many are afraid of joining recovery. I believe it’s the stigma of being associated with alcoholics or just the reluctance to accept the fact. If you find someone like that willing to talk, please remind them of these facts about recovery groups.

1. WE are the same people that you felt comfortable around in the bars and drug dens.
2. YOU will be instantly accepted even though YOU may not understand if you are one of us.
3. If you don’t want what WE have, WE will gladly refund your misery.
4. WE are everywhere and online around the world most any time of day or night.
5. WE are free, that should tell you something.
6. WE have to give YOU what WE have in order to keep it. 
7. YOU have nothing to lose except the problems you are experiencing.
8. YOU can get sober and enjoy an amazing new life through recovery and the 12 steps.
