Hi Angharad, you would be surprised at how many different people you will see if you keep going to meetings. I find people tend to vary the ones they go to, so I am always seeing new faces.....but they have been around for a long time.
A lot of the women where I am tend to be around my age, I'm 41, but there are also quite a few in their 20s. Different meetings, different people.
What I do know is that the regulars benefit hugely from the friendship that they get from people who understand them and are also sober. I met two new friends for coffee last week, and will be meeting another two this week.
If you build up this support network of people around you, in times of trouble (overwhelming desire for booze) it is easier to call on them.
Another sober Saturday night. Well done
