Sober but Bored
If it happens to you, take another good, hard look at the Twelve Steps. Sharing and service can be the answer
RECENTLY, I found myself passing judgment on a member who was celebrating her sixteenth year of sobriety. As she accepted the group's congratulations, she mentioned that she had not attended a meeting for a year. I said to some AA friends that she was depriving me of her presence by not attending meetings and making herself available to all newcomers. In fact, I rather hotly declared that the Big Book says we share our experience, strength, and hope--and how could she do this if she wasn't at meetings?
