Unfortunately for me, all of my friends I had originally were alienated by my drinking over the years and drifted away. I was an isolated drunk for the last few years and didn't do the social drinking, so I didn't have drunk friends either. I have online friends both before and after getting sober from internet gaming.
I'm going on 10 months sober this next month and I'm still left with really no friends. My mother is still a drunk, my brother is so wrapped up in his girlfriend I don't ever get to see him, my stepdad is borderline alcoholic, my ex-husband....is still an alcoholic and is way worse than when we were together.rest of my family is hours away and, well that's all I have since I don't do AA.
I'm not having issues with my sobriety in the least as I am working a program but it gets *very* lonely, indeed.
