HI Sleepie. You really sound like you need a support group (IMO). When I entered AA I was completely isolated. I had my wife and that was it. The only freinds I had were drinkers and we only hung out if we were going to drink. I think that a very valuable piece of recovery is meeting new people that share our interests. For me, recovery is at the top of my interest lists.

I'm not sure if you're open to AA and if not I'm sure there are other support groups out there, the fellowship has really helped me. More than this site even. Humans are social creatures, we are not designed to spend our time alone. I've read many of your posts and you definitley seem to be serious in your desire to stop drinking. For me, without my AA group it would be so much harder to stop on my own.

Just my 2 cents. Hang in there!
