That is what I thought too, Tyler. When people told me that I needed to find people with long term sobriety, I said that most people leave the program after a year.
I cannot remember the last time I was at a meeting with more than 2 people who had a year. Most meetings there is only one or no one with that length of time.
That is why I have had a hard time replacing my sponsor. There is usually only one person at a meeting who even can sponsor--and sometimes not that. People here seemed to think I was exaggerating and I thought they were exaggerating.
