I'm 25... been sober in AA since 22. Yeah, it can be tough to believe you are an alcoholic at that age... You are an alcoholic when you say you are, it's not about drinking a certain amount for a certain period of time, and losing your wife and kids. I'm not from a big city, so the younger fellowship here is sparse and it's tough sometimes, but the older people are really supportive. Give meetings a chance, they can help you meet others like yourself.
