I don't think that age should be placed on the recovery from something that can be as grave as a potentially life and death illness which I believe alcoholism to be.
I wanted to grow up too fast by the time I was about 5 years old. Had drank booze, smoked cigarettes with my 15 year old brother, had interest in the fairer sex, had learned to play pool and shoot craps and play poker.
Age is a state of mind, if you ask me. I have a blast in sobriety. I can go to parties and rock concerts and go on cruises and hang out with people who drink and do drugs. I don't like the drama of hanging out with people who get wasted or break the law blatantly anymore... but I can understand them.
Having a nice time getting ready for the holidays and hope you all are doing likewise.
