[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633623, member: 1550"] Real life doesn't agree with this man's theory. Sadly, there are many addictive people in their 60's and above. My sister's ex-brother in law (big mouthful there) recently died of alcoholism and it's affects at age 53 , for example. Many people DO quit, but it is a choice. You can outgrow the some of the worst symptoms of, say, borderline, but that is usually life kicking in. I have never known anyone to outgrow addiction, but know many who chose to quit and went through detoxing, either alone or with medical help. So, yes, there is hope. There is always hope. People chose to quit every single day. Call me leery, and it has nothing to do with Twelve Step. Has to do with l the older addicts I know. [/QUOTE]
