That's because they get all those free nights to hoist a couple in Germany!
Seriously, though, "Meeting-makers make it!" as they say in AA. The more meetings an alcoholic makes (especially in the first year), the more likely the alcoholic will be "a part of" the sober group rather than "apart from" them. The "90 meetings in 90 days" concept appears to have its origin in the early work of AA's founders, "its" treatment center, studies and behavioral notions as to changing habits. The NA "bible" also states: "A meeting a day for at least the first ninety days of recovery is a good idea." Page 53.
Yes, he should be doing "90 meetings in 90 days" and he can do that by catching more than one meeting a day too. Regardless of that, let him worry about his recovery with his sponsor. You stay on your side of the recovery street.
Peace.
