Have you ever been to detox and/or rehab? Since you're already unemployed and on disability, why do outpatient, if you can possibly do a more intensive inpatient program? Why not look into it? Maybe you need to try a completely different approach to recovery.

One friend from AA said he is done helping until I get serious about recovery and that really made me upset.
I don't know why anyone who is himself "serious about recovery" would say such a thing...unless his sobriety is early/shaky, and he feels uncomfortable being around someone who is still drinking. In that case, you need to respect that he's trying to protect his own sobriety...at least give him the benefit of the doubt.
