Totally overwhelmed

What a friggin day! I had to stop working 2 years ago because of a bad heart. Lost my wife to cancer last June. 2 months ago my daughter left her husband, I think the world of this young man. Sitting in an empty house day in and day out, still grieving for my wife, and now grieving for my daughters broken marriage.
All three of these issues by themselves can and do kick in my compulsion to drink. Today I'm dealing with all three at once. There's an AA meeting in about 1/2 hr, but it's one I've never been to. I don't want to crack up in front of a bunch of strangers. Sooo, here I am. I'm coming up on 7 months sober (again), had 15 years when I lost my wife. I have not contributed much at all on here for quite a while, so I feel like a bit of a taker here asking you all to read my rant. Right now it just seems like my best option.
Questions, comments, and derogatory remarks will all be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron
