Amber Hollingsworth argues it's never too late to get sober, even at 41 with a long meth addiction. People in their 40s may actually quit more easily than younger addicts because denial becomes harder to maintain when your body starts failing.
Question is, I'm dealing with a meth addict. I've had friends who broke free from the addiction. However, the one I'm dealing with is 41. My friend told me after 40, he's a lifer. Is that true? That's ridiculous. No, that is not true. I see people get sober from all kinds of things at every single age. No, if you're still alive, you're still in the game. I think it's actually a little easier to get people in their 40s sober than it is to get people in their 20s sober because their people in their 40s are much more likely to realize this ain't cool anymore. They're easier to get out of denial because seeing that they're not functioning as a 40 year old should, it's a lot more evident than when you're 20 and you can tell yourself, oh, I'm just being young, I'm just partying up. That's what everyone does and you get away with it longer. So no, I, I don't agree with that statement.
