Both my parents were in AA for the last 30 years of their lives. I have 80% chance of being an alcoholic myself. So I'm sure I am one. I just haven't gotten into trouble over it.

I think I'll always feel like an adult child. I've never felt particularly adult. I'm a perpetual adolescent.

I left home at 17, too. Made impulsive choices. Paid some steep consequences. I'm quite happy and stable these days.
