When i got around people about the primary purpose for the first time I finally saw people in harmonious action about a single purpose..... recovery for the new person through the 12 steps. I quickly started to see that this groups message was the same as its purpose. I also started to see that other groups had a different message and that is perfectly fine by the traditions. (read the second half of the tradition) I wasnt even sure i wanted what these people had but I was surely convinced i didnt want what i had. I believe that the group itself starts showing the new person who is responsible to inform the newcomer. Then when i got guided through the steps by a man in this group he harped on me about the primary purpose and who we were going through the steps for. So i believe its not only the groups but the sponsors responsibility to make clear its primary purpose and its message.
