Learning From Each Other

We need old friends to help us grow old, and new friends to help us stay young. Not many have the opportunity to befriend people of all ages, but people of all ages attend recovery program meetings. And because it is generally the oldest members who have the most years of sobriety, young people are encouraged to seek their advice or engage them as sponsors. The program is always replenished with newcomers. The old are always needed, and never outgrow their usefulness. Perhaps the program is not the proverbial fountain of youth, but it is a far cry from people who feel that life is behind them.
