PO Box 1980

As an alcoholic who has been "young in AA," may I offer my comment on young people's groups? I believe there is more of a want involved than a need, and I seriously question the long-range wisdom of age segregation. I believe that years of living AA experience offer a different perspective--often a wider view of what is relevant and what isn't. The younger person needs this exposure. This view is not a popular one, but it would have been beneficial for me to have spent less time with my peers in my youth. My peers and I reinforced one another's limitations and prejudices, and in many ways it was the blind leading the blind.
