What advice do you give new members?

In our experience, the people who recover in A.A. are those who:
a) stay away from the first drink;
b) attend A.A. meetings regularly;
c) seek out the people in A.A. who have successfully stayed sober for some time;
d) try to put into practice the A.A. program of recovery;
e) obtain and study the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous.
