If you could only tell a newcomer one thing?
Like the title suggests. If you met someone at their first meeting and only had the opportunity to tell them one thing before they left the meeting what would it be? And to make it more interesting it can only be one sentence.
Mine would be:
This is the way out.
Natom.

two things that were said to me at my first meeting have stuck with me
"We do recover"
and
"You never have to use drugs again"
these were said to me by someone who clearly had the experience and authority to speak those words.

"One day at a time."
That one really hit home for me. Keep the focus short, on the now, on the reachable goals. Don't make a mountain that is the future. Celebrate small victories. I was able to infer all of these things from that one simple statement and realize the value of it.
