Welcome youngmind!
Age doesn't seem to matter when it comes to alcoholism..... Back in the "old days" (when I grew up - ha!), there were no treatment centers - there just wasn't much awareness or education. It's great to see that it's changing now - the sooner we get sober, the better!
I became a solitary drinker, too, and found myself planning things around my drinking. Thinking about getting sober terrified me, but I found this place and a little hope started seeping in. I don't think I even realize how miserable I was until I got sober. I'm glad you reached out today - we're here to support you!:ghug3
