Steve,about the talk with your sponsor.I really liked that info you shared with us.It gives me a little more to consider regarding our older AA members.My sponsor is getting on up there in yrs too,and I am glad he still makes 5 meetings a week.
On the other hand,I have a AA friend who has demensia and he has been getting really sick lately.
He has went from a warmhearted,kind,gentle, helpfull man to a lonely guy who has gotten into a lot of trouble.All this helps me to grow in understanding.
people just don`t talk much about our older members and the problems they face unless they want to call them a bunch of grumpy oldtimers.
