does sober have an age????

[Savannah]

I am friends with a 21 year old and she thinks it's ok to drink until the day is done. I wonder to you experts, does AL have and age? Does it have an age to stop drinking? What can I say, because I know she's headed to the wrong road.

Hi Savannah,

AL doesn't discriminate whether you are old,young,black,white,male,female,religious or not.

I met a girl a few years ago who was thrilled to bits that she'd been clean and sober for 3 years.

She was 17 years old!

I honestly wouldn't know what to say to your friend. I hope someone can come along with a few pointers.

Hi Savannah. This link is to one of the personal stories in the Big Book of AA about a teenager. http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/en_t...pedintime5.pdf. I hope your young friend finds her way out in time.
