Like many longstanding programs, many could use a facelift. AA has many older people in it, but it needs the next generation to be a part. Why? Because only at the beginning of recovery is it about you. Then what keeps you in the right mindset is helping others. The steps have stood strong for years and effective. Helping people continues to be needed and helpful to the giver and receiver. Being a part of something bigger than ourselves is super encouraging. Getting and giving face to face friendship, hugs, and encouragement is timeless. You can’t get that online. There are many amazing people here, but I don’t know your real names, or what you look like. We would be strangers on the street. I believe it is important that we be a part of things with people whether AA, church, the running club or painting club, be with good people and and be with you higher power (God). We need each other, even if you are an introvert.
Just my two cents........
