It sure is a progressive disease. I'm glad you have a home and a business, so there is hope that your business can improve and you can develop some new relationships. Like you, I drank alone and had pushed away everyone in my life in favour of drinking.
Try to remember that stopping drinking is the beginning. For me, that was when the hard work began. I had a lifetime of issues that I had to face straight on and deal with. You can do this.
