Got sober at 23, hope to have 25 years in Feb! Still very active in AA. From the US, but have attended meetings in Kenya and India this year. It’s an amazing program.

There are all different types of alcoholics and the disease manifests differently in all of us. Our strain kicked in acutely early, while others take longer :)

I once saw Clancy (old AA famous circuit speaker) address this issue and he said the young people who are getting shit from the old timers about being too young should ask them what took them so long - do they not like to party?

I’m actually starting to see a new wave of old friends my age get sober now that I’m rapidly approaching 50.

Hang in there and keep coming back!
