Old Testament Drunks

In many Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups, differences in approach and philosophy between older and younger members can create contrasting dynamics.

Older members often have decades of sobriety and a deep-rooted connection to traditional AA practices. They may emphasize strict adherence to the original principles outlined in The Big Book, such as rigorous step work, reliance on a sponsor, and commitment to service within the fellowship. This commitment can sometimes be perceived as controlling or rigid, especially by younger members who might prefer a more flexible, individualized approach to recovery.
