I spent 10 years as an alcoholic. If I'd have had help early on I might have not got in this position but now I have no friends. I'm lonely as hell. It's cold, wet and windy. It's been pouring rain down heavily for the 4th day in a row and I just couldn't take it anymore and drank a bottle of rum. No one seems to need me. I figured I had nothing to lose. I guess I'm like that sea captain in that Jaws film. A little odd, spent too much time in my own little world.
Are you a member of the AA or similar? Having someone who has been through this and can listen with you might be beneficial.
I'm not but have considered joining. Just a bit wary of the social aspect as I imagine (I'm assuming though) other alcoholics would tend to a lot more sociable than me.
