Pull, don’t push.
One of the critical parts of the 12 traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous (“AA”) is to “carry the message to others.“
It is a delicate balance between pushing something on somebody and simply telling them about your experience. If you are in sales, you know that asking questions of your prospects can be much more effective than jamming the solutions that you offer down their throats.
The same applies to carrying the message to other addicts that need help. Tell your story, and if they bite, great! They will be inspired by your experience, and will have to make the decision on their own, whether or not that they want what we have.
There are people on parole in AA that are forced to go through the coursework by their parole officers, but unless they want it, this approach may not be effective.
the individual has to want it first for their own good, and the rest stands a chance of falling into place.
