In order to get the most from Alcoholics Anonymous it is suggested that people:

• Become involved in service. Helping other people can benefit the individual even more than the recipient because it strengthens their recovery.
• Collect the phone numbers of other members. These can be life saving if the individual feels vulnerable and needs to talk to somebody who understands.
• Speak at meetings. In order to get the most from these gathering the individual needs to become involved.
• Read the Big Book. This is the guiding text for the program and contains a great deal of wisdom.
• Stick with the winners. There can be a wide variety of people who attend these meetings and not all of them will be getting better.
• It is important to keep an open mind. Alcoholics Anonymous is probably not going to work for everyone, but it makes sense to give it a fair try.
