I just arrived yesterday, I too started around age 15, but its taken me until age 54 to get serious. I really relate to the fact that I probably don't know myself, because of my entire adult life I gave so much to the alcohol. I was thinking about that during my jog this a.m., calculating the years and feeling sad about it. I never had kids, I wonder if its because I was too dedicated to partying. Anyway, best of luck. I'm thinking the next 40 years sober (God willing) will be just awesome.
