At what age does it end??
THank u everybody for youre responses. I must admit it has scared me reading that its possible going so long without alcohol and then falling back inTO the trap. That truly is a frightening prospect.. I Think i have done well going a few months without drink sometimes but if someone goes 20 years without it and them relapses it really does make u think about how bad this disease is. I Dont think theres much hope. I sometimes feel like a weirdo as there isnt really anybody else who has the same problem as me ,,who lives near me, banyway once again you people have made me feel better, so i thank u again, xx

started at 12, quit multiple times over the years. Official quite age : 42. I wish I would have listened to myself earlier, wish I would have noticed the obvious signs. FOr me,at 27, I knew something was wrong.
27 but I knew I was an alcoholic pretty much the whole time I was drinking. It was something I "joked" about as a teen. By my mid-twenties I was no longer having any fun with the drinking and by 27 I was struck with a desire to quit and I took the out.
27 days sober today!

Adding, I wish I had the strength and courage to be sober at 27. I was not then drinking alcoholically, but had an alcoholic mother and had always said I would never be like her. I never got to her sort of problems, but she was a binge drinker, I was more of a regular drinker. So, I think I drank as much or more than her at her worst, just never during the day, and never was an angry drunk, like she was. So, because I identified her anger and daytime drinking, and hard liquor drinking with her alcoholism, my wine habit snuck up on me.
36.. now.. 23 days ago
I have never been serious about quitting before. I always accepted it was part of my life, a BIG part. I never wanted to. I had an A HA moment and I will never drink again.

Quit the year of the BIG 50.
I finally figured out that it wasn't everyone around me that was an a**, it was me. That and how quickly things were progressing towards the end in terms of the need for it and my actions were also getting progressively worse.
Sober now 6.5 months and never been happier.
Now I can accuse others of being an a** and they have to own up to it.
