If we do manage to convince a newcomer that everything becomes rosy in recovery, we had better make sure we are there to support that newcomer when something goes wrong in his or her life.

I'm not one for painting this picture that once you get clean you'll have no more problems. That's not real...and I don't think we do the newcomer a favor by lying. "No matter what!" is the battle cry and I was taught that living life on it's own terms means I can deal with whatever comes my way...as long as I don't use. Getting high won't solve my problems and it will only make them worse. It is really important for me to share the joy and the pain.
