As someone who is 56 I will say that looking at the poll results is pretty interesting. Based on the poll results almost 1/3 of the visitors here are under 35. I would guess that less than 10% of the people who attend AA meetings in my area are under 35. Actually as I think about it I would guess it's closer to 5%. Not surprised though since younger folks have always looked to the internet first when they want information.

Just turned 50.... Very glad I joined this forum recently, I lurked around this site looking for someone like me and found a whole bunch, thank goodness. Six weeks and still rocking no booze, but my bottled water habit is way out of control now. Thanks SR!

I'm 39... this is my 3rd time at this.. 1st time was with my partner at the time but as soon as we broke up I slowly got back on it..but always knew I had a drinking problem and always admitted it..hopefully I will be sticking too it and not drinking into my 40s..
