Actually that's not old at all. I was asking my therapist the average age people got sober and she said 30-50, so you are definitely on the much earlier end of the spectrum!

and hey! that's me in three years! and I am not old

Sober in my early forties
It took for a while. 3 years

Early fifties once again. 3 years sober

Then again at 57.
6 plus years and still counting.

Slow learner but grateful.
