One of the great advantages of AA is it gives you a whole new circle of friends. Some will be in the same place you are. Some will be just passed where you're going next. Many will be old hands that have been there/done that and have discovered how to live, love and laugh without "it"
You don't have to be in very long before the opportunity might arise where you can help a newbie and that will be as much benefit to you as to them.
I know quite a few members, anywhere from 4 months to 42 years sober.
It's a good thing....a very good thing.
