How old were you when you thought there was a problem? How old were you when you seriously decided to start quitting? How old are you now?

I have always been super curious about the demographics of SD. We know alcohol affects everyone from all walks of life but I’d be interested to see when you all realised you needed SD.

I’ll go first.

I first realised it was a problem when I was around 28 years. I started drinking at 18, it was 2 days a week binge drinking until around 26. Age 26-28 it escalated to 3-4 nights a week binge drinking (two bottles of wine on those nights). From 28-31 I scaled back the frequency as knew there was a problem to once a week but now 3 bottles in a night of wine.

At 31 is when I realised I needed to be serious about quitting. Made a new years pledge but fell of the wagon.

I’m currently 31 and never going to drink again.
