I can completely relate to that myself but in the past I would quit (really I was just putting my booze on hold, I don't consider it quitting), I isolated, and then eventually I drank again.
Four weeks ago I finally pushed through my denial and admitted that I needed help, what a relief but it was also terrifying.
My natural inclination is to isolate but I know if I do I'll relapse, so off I go to AA Meetings, Group Therapy, I volunteer at an Assisted Living home, I call my Sponsor.....I have to talk myself into doing these things on a DAILY basis but it's what is keeping me sober.
I'm also finding people genuinely like me, and even cooler is I like me.
