Thanks for all the awesome replies.

I realize I have much to do in terms of rectifying my situation. It will take time, but I hope to regain the trust and admiration of my family. Furthermore, I want to continue going to AA (I love the people there) and posting on this forum (I apologize if I post too much!)

I've found my drinking stemmed from a lethal combination of loneliness, social anxiety, and depression. However, loneliness seems to the biggest trigger. I've met some great people in AA, but I'm also looking for other people with whom to spend time. Most of my old friends live elsewhere now and are married, so it's more difficult to see them.

The daytime is so difficult (I'm returning to clinical rotations in 2 weeks so hopefully that will help), knowing most people are at work. Fortunately I haven't had any urge to drink, and I suppose that's one thing going right for me. I just wish I had friends and sober activities for the day. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Aaron
