Pocket Your Pride

The biggest question I get asked today is:
"How does this deal work?"

And the answer is simple:
"Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path."

So, to the newcomer:
pocket your pride, get a sponsor, and learn how to follow this path.

And to the oldtimers:
pocket your pride, pick up newcomers, take them to meetings, and continue to share what was freely given to you.

That is how this deal worked in the beginning, and that's how it works today -- one alcoholic helping another stay sober.
