Hi and Welcome,
I know that alcoholism can be a very isolating disease. It sure was for me, and at the end of my few years of drinking, I felt very alone. And, of course, that makes it harder to reach out for help. I'm glad you found us. And, yes, and sadly some drs have no clue about addiction but others do, so why not try to find another dr. And, good for you for getting to Day 5. I'm not an AA person, but I do work hard on my recovery and SR is my lifeline.
