Hi Kim,
I can relate to not feeling like I had support from my family when I stopped drinking but I know now it was because there was no real belief that I was going to stay stopped. The only time staying stopped worked for me is when I stopped drinking for myself, not for my family or anyone else. Not saying that this is your experience, just relating my own.
As if alcohol in and of itself isn't enough of a depressant, drinking on top of already feeling depressed, as you know, is not the answer to loneliness.
Pls do see your dr. Not sure what meds you were on, but stopping some meds abruptly could have seizure consequences. And mixing most meds with alcohol is like igniting a liquid timebomb, so pls do consult your dr.
I'd also agree that any kind of face-2-face support, especially with sober women who are in your situation, would be very, very helpful. In the meantime and anytime though, we're here for you. Pls take care of yourself.
