Just wondering... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Bella_Fox · 10-15-2007, 09:56 PM

Hi. I hope it's OK to ask this, but I was just wondering what the general age of people here was. Just out of curiosity. I suspect it's incredibly varied, but I'm curious.

(I'm 31.)

I'm just interested because of the generational differences that arise sometimes.

***nandm*** · 10-15-2007, 10:15 PM

I am 42.

I think that is one of the wonderful things about a forum like this, we dont see each other so we are not influenced by what our minds could automatically tell us are 'generational differences'. IMO often we (including me) think someone may not understand or relate because they are older or younger but I am very often wrong. But here we cannot see and for me anyway, I can receive input with more of an open mind.

I am 43.

BlondAmbition · 10-16-2007, 05:47 PM

I'll be 39 this week....seriously!

***Anna*** · 10-16-2007, 06:00 PM

I'm 32. Face to face, I lie and say I'm 25 (or whatever I think I can get away with at the time).

My maturity level is more like 17........somewhere in my teens. I like it that way.

cookconfay · 10-17-2007, 03:50 PM

46 but did enough damage out there with all the drugs and alcohol to feel ever bit of a helluva lot older......been clean & sober for 10 yrs now!!!!

Harley3801 · 10-17-2007, 03:56 PM
