This book is designed to be a recipe for creating a solid foundation for a successful recovery. Please realize that you will need help to accomplish the task of creating a successful recovery, which requires that you seek and find people who have succeeded in recovery to assist you. You will not find them at the bar or the dope house. You will need to go to some places you may never have been and do some things that you have never done. The good news is that many people will welcome you with open arms. There is a saying around the tables that says, "The newcomer is the most important person in the room." It may take a while for you to understand this, but it is true. Remember that half measures will avail you nothing, and resolve to do all that is necessary to get the prize. It is a pearl of great price!
