I'd first ask them what brings them to A.A. Do you think you have a drinking problem? If so, why? Maybe you do or maybe you don't. Do you know what an alcoholic is? Do you know what a non-alcoholic is? Maybe search what a variety of sources says about the subject and get your own feel for what these terms really mean.
.
If it turns out you're not alky, please run from A.A. as fast as you can!
.
Maybe there's no such thing as the term Alcoholic. Maybe we're all wrong. Maybe in time, we'll all laugh at this.
.
Don't let anyone hustle you into A.A.
.
If you are an alcoholic, what do you want to do about it? Do you want to quit for good and all? If so, maybe give A.A. a try. Do you have reservations about God? Are you open minded about the whole thing. Are you religious? Would a church or other affiliation serve you? Are you not willing to consider a Higher Power? If not, maybe you should run away from A.A. now.
.
Are you willing to read the proposals of the A.A. program and decide for yourself all down the line, are you willing to do this right now and for the rest of your life?
.
Are you willing to decipher all of the Middle-of-the-Road Treatment Center crap which has infiltrated A.A. and other recovery processes and find out what is true and what is not?
.
Do you want to live? Do you want to succeed in life and take full responsibility of your own life from this second on?
.
Boy, if that don't run them off, I don't know what else would. That's what I think I would tell them. Maybe I ought to look into a new avocation. I'm into home improvement and grilling right now. I'd better stick to that for a while.
