That could not possibly be everyones attitude at the AA meeting. Go back for yourself. Sit and listen and try to identify with others. Look for similarities not differences. Here is a link to a AA big Book Online. Please start reading with Dr Opinion.

Glad you are here. I totalled out a cop car at age 19 and thought I was to young to be an alkie. Wish I had a glimpse of what was waiting out there.
I am 51 now. Sober and Clean but not all that long.
After 7 jails, 5 detoxes, 5 psych wards, 4 treatment centers,3 DUI's and a nursing home. Go back to AA and don't let anyone tell you , you are to young to be an alkie. If you have a desire to stop drinking than you are a member of AA.

If you walked into one of my AA meetings I would be so happy to see you tackling this illness at such an early age.
