I did all of what you have posted and ended up crawling into AA begging for help! I have a CBT counselor who did 20 years in resdidential and is very supportive of the 12 step program...he's quite special actually as previous ones would ask stupid questions like 'so do you want to abstain from drinking at the end of our 10 weeks sessions or control it'...i mean c'mon...

I don't feel that awful loneliness, regardless of where i was...with family, friends etc i felt all alone...this is because i meet up wiith people like me now and they are the same as me...hence i'm not alone anymore.

I fought going to AA for years, i thought i was different to everyone else and the exception to any rule...working the steps has opened up a new way of living aand feeling for me.

It's a miracle and it's there when you have had enough:-)
