Hi and Welcome,
I am also glad to hear you're going to see a psychiatrist and that you're seeing a therapist.
I am not an AA person either, but I do a lot of work on my recovery.
I don't think it's important for other people in your life to understand what you're going through. Yes, it would be nice if they did, but most people just don't get it. That's why I come here every day because this is where I find support and inspiration.
One thing I would ask you is what changes did you make to your life besides stopping drinking? I had to make a lot of changes of people, activities, places in order to recover.
