[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. My grandparents became alcoholics in their 50s and 60s, both of them together. Functional for awhile, then escalated when I was maybe late elementary school/early middle school and they were probably about your Dad's age. Family had an "intervention" (I wasn't present for this, but accidentally found the letters my parents had written to them one time - this was the approach of that time period, not sure if it still is!) if you will, and asked them to go to rehab - they both went, to separate places. I can't remember. They were both sober until the day they died after that. It still truly astounds us and amazes us. Grandfather lived until probably 80 or so, grandmother lived into late 80s.
