We invite your comments, individually or from group discussion, regarding the “Newburgh Experience.” Have you found a group like this helpful in your own life in recovery? Do you find the picture attractive? Do you find, in your sobriety, that what happens before and after the meeting is just as important as the meeting itself?

How do you make your groups attractive to newcomers? How do you, as a group, practice an attractive sobriety? How can we in SA communicate to the newcomer the excitement of being sober?
