Over 50 / Newly Sober - anyone else?

There are so many great posts on people on SR - very grateful. I read a ton of posts everyday and love the diversity = ages, backgrounds and geography of all SR friends.

However, I find that the way I view the world now is much different than my view from my 20's 30's etc....and I am newly sober as well < 4 months.

Last child is off to college and trying to adapt to what is the beginning of the later years in life. Things are very different today.

It took me many years to take real, definitive action in getting sober. Kind of embarrassing walking into a group with young and older ( me ). Most of those my age (54) have multiple years of sobriety and speak from an authoritative role.

It struck me that perhaps a thread for Over 50's who are newly sober(however you define that to yourself) might be helpful to share thoughts regarding this stage in our lives coupled with getting undrunk!

Any takers???
please write loudly......
