Hi, injuneer63; welcome to PsychCentral (PC). Your post reminds me of my 69 year old brother; he's on marriage 4 (he and his wife have 8 marriages combined :-) but only had a couple tours of Vietnam; got thrown out of the Army as a major, a month from 20 years time (so no retirement or benefits) for alcoholism (he hasn't had a drink for about 30 years now) and his wife claims he has ADD (and we know he has PTSD but he's never done anything about that).

I think age has a lot to do with how one deals with ADD, we didn't have that when we were kids and as adults just kind of keep doing what we did before we knew what it was. My brother still works, doesn't ever want to retire and even though he built his own house and is active in church, has lots of projects around the house, etc. I think he'd be more of a mess if he did quit working. I've noticed he's "mellowed" through the years some, especially since our parents died, etc.
