I would also suggest asking in an alcoholism forum.
However,....now that I'm here.......
I got sober young and I think it was easier, most of my friends also have anywhere from 15 to 25 years of sobriety, we are all in our late thirties, early forties, so we all got sober anywhere from 16 or 17 to mid twenties, there are 100's if not thousands of us in my immediate community.
