Also, you can start new threads right here that are more for people with a little recovery, and the newcomers can read and learn from our sharing.
CatsPajamas recently posted a thread about Friends, and changes we have made since finding recovery. She posted another about Step 11 Prayer and Meditation. Anyone who has reached Step 11 probably is well on their way in recovery, and again the newcomer can ask questions or learn from those who have gone before them...just as I learned from those who went before me when I was new to recovery.
All threads do not have to be about struggles. They can be sharing about your experience, strength and hope, how you found recovery and how it works in your life today, and about issues you still struggle with.
If all the oldtimers were some place else, who would hold the light for the newcomers?
Just a thought here, for what it's worth.
