Reading 'How to Become an Old-Timer: Don't Drink and Don't Die' feels like sitting with a wise, irreverent sponsor who's walked the path for decades. From 'Suit up, Show up, Sit up, Shut up, and Listen' to debunking myths (Can I date a newcomer? Is non-alcoholic beer OK? Can my group be my sponsor?), it offers real talk on sponsorship, Big Book truths, and how wisdom changes from year 1 to 50+.
It's a reminder: we learn from others' mistakes, carry the message, and keep coming back—one day at a time.
