Drinking clearly makes everything worse. If nothing else, hang out on SR - it helps! Then when you get some sobriety under your belt, you can begin to seek the friends and relationships that you desire, and the rest will fall into place.
I've been surrounded by all the relationships I could ever want: a wonderful wife; happy, smart, loving kids; great colleagues; and extended family. And yet, because of my mental state and gradual descent into the abyss of alcohol abuse, I was as lonely as if I had nobody. The common denominator was me.
Today, I can enjoy everyone and everything around me to the fullest. Only with a healthy mind and spirit is that possible.
