I used to go into this sort of disconnect with society when I stopped drinking, anger, fear, lonliness were my constant companions, always in conflict with something. Eventually I would become so miserable I drank again. It always got worse over time, just not drinking and waiting accomplished nothing. This was because drinking was my soltuion, not my problem.
This inability to live happily in the world is something I have come to know as a spiritual malady, a dsorder, a disconnectedness. When I found a soltuon to that, drinking became unneccesary.
