because when I looked for help with alcohol and how to quit every med md... etc website said seek help before quitting because I could die with withdrawals. I was convinced I would die if I quit. Yet I had a big thing come up where I had to be sober and it was no problem for days. No withdrawals.
The only reason I drink is cause I have nothing else to do. I have no friends. Its just what I do and I have nothing else to do.

I keep it simple.
For years I didn't want to change. I was scared of change.
I knew the parameters of my life (cos I set them up) and I knew I would rarely have to do something that challenged me or upset me.
I was also terribly terribly unhappy.
All I can say is from the other side of the fence, I can't believe the time it took me to put down the bottle.
I had to crash and burn before I took some action.
Noone should have to go to that extent. I was ridiculously stupid.
I was killing myself, soul first. I had so much potential and I was terrified of using it.
Drinking I was existing. Sober I'm living.
People have given you a lot of reasons to pursue recovery,
I'm hoping you take the leap of faith sooner or later, vendetta

Do some volunteering in your community.Find a hobby or an interest. Fill your life with things to do. Join social clubs.
If you're right you should never feel the urge to drink again.

I feel you have missed my point. You are asking me to join social clubs and fill my life with things to do. I am on this forum pouring out my heart about alcohol. I know it's a problem. I also know that I seem to have no social skills. And the reason I'm here is not because of alcohol. It's because I cannot find a better way to spend my time. If i was just an alcoholic then I would drink and fill my time with that. However I am here because I'm lonely. which is psychological.

That's what I did.
It's one of the reasons why I'm not stuck in that 'default = drinking' setting anymore.
We can make suggestions all day long here but if you take none of them up...Nothing much is going to change Vendetta.
